Apple Watch not showing some notifications when iPhone AOD is on

when my iPhone 14 pro AOD is on, the notifications will show up on the phone but some do not show up on my watch series 5. Sometimes they don’t appear at all and other times I just don’t get an alert. Both are updated and this isn’t a problem when the AOD on iPhone is turned off. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello D_meister,


The behavior you're seeing with notifications not appearing on your Apple Watch is normal.


Notifications appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both.

Have a look at this support article to learn more: Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


With that said, if Always On Display is turned on for your iPhone, you won't receive notifications on your Apple Watch. This link provides details about using this feature: Use Always-On display with your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max - Apple Support


Take care.
