Pill reminders not actually reminding me?

I set up pill reminder and it doesn't actually remind me. I double-checked. Then I redid all the steps. No reminder notifications.

I did have dose reminder on with a time of day. But you're right to have me double-check. Your earlier comment on haptic only got me thinking some more about Health notifications in general and I wondered if no sound was really the only choice. To troubleshoot further, I toggled all notifications for Health off in the Settings>Notifications>Health. I restarted my phone. Then I toggled on notifications for Health in the same place. I got a pill notification with sound! In any case, thanks for discussion and you might want to adjust attributes of your notifications because they're a Sound toggle there.

I've actually been happy with the alerts occurring!

Have you checked in Health > Medications > Options (scroll down) ?

(I'm sure you have, but would be silly for me not to ask.)

I also wish that alerts had an option to appear in iPadOS and macOS as well - like iMessage. I usually have my phone with me but sometimes will be using another device and the phone upstairs or downstairs.

Please use Hearth appp and Use Medications Tab (Health Categories) under the Health App.

Once added it sends you a notification for you to take the medications.

Did that and it does not send me notifications. It is set to remind me at 1800. The logging function works but the reminder notification does not.

The alert on my 12 Pro is visible and seems to be haptic. But no proper audible alert.

Hence, only notice it in some circumstances.

That's a helpful clue but I've had it in my hands staring at when the time arrives. There is no alert at the time and nothing remaining in the Notification Center.

"Health" app doesn't work to notify. I added medications on iPhone, Apple Watch 8 says "no medications added". They are clearly on the phone. I'll add, I have Options/dose reminder on.

I've just gone through that and will see in a few minutes if it has worked for me!

So helpful when people add to threads like you did.
