Apple Watch vibrations

Hi, I’m new to Apple Watch having switched from Fitbit - is there a way to have vibrations for WhatsApp and Facebook messenger notifications on watch? I can’t seem to work out a way to do it. Vibrations are working fine with my normal iPhone messages - just not for WhatsApp or messenger - more bothered about WhatsApp. Thanks!

How to customize vibrations and notifications on my Apple Watch? Hello, I have a question about the vibration settings of the apple watch. My request is to set them so that nothing vibrates on me except the alarm and the call. I managed to set it so that everything vibrates for me (messenger, Instagram, etc.), I don't want that because my hand keeps vibrating. Or turn off vibration, but then my calls don't vibrate. The last option is to turn on vibrations and turn off Instagram, messenger, etc. notifications, but I don't want that. I want my calls and alarm to vibrate, messenger, Instagram to give notifications without vibration. Thanks for the help. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How can I get vibration alerts for Telegram on Apple Watch? Is it possible to have vibration on my watch for Telegram app notifications e.g. if the Sounds bar is off for this app on my phone in notifications settings? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

WhatsApp messages don’t vibrate on Apple Watch. Whenever I get WhatsApp messages, they don't make haptic feedback, they go straight to the Notification Center. All other apps do have haptic feedback. I'm using an Apple Watch Series 3 and an iPhone 11 Pro Max, though I also tried with an iPhone 8 Plus and it didn't work.

Open the Watch app on your paired iPhone.

Click on notifications. Scroll down the list until you get to Whatsapp. There should be a toggle to the right, make sure that the toggle is green.

Once that is on, it should mirror the iPhone notifications for those apps
