Closing ring animation skipped

When I close a ring and two achievements are met (standing and one week of standing straight) I don’t see either. Instead I see two grouped notifications telling me both. How do I change that?

The animation disappeared when I close one of the activity rings. How can I get it back? Previously, the animation of closing activity rings worked flawlessly, but now it's gone, and it's harder for me to track activity.

Closed ring week animation Hi I have a problem related to ring animations. Most of the time during week - monday to saturday - I close one ring, I get notification about closed ring and if that is single notification - e.g. closed stand circle, fireworks animation appears. Sometimes I get 2 notifications at the same time - e.g. extended movement streak, now I have to press crown button and in like 90% of cases it shows me fireworks otherwise I get no animation. But on every sunday I close exercise ring first, I get notification about that and at the same time notification about perfect exercise week and sometimes even about completing 7-th workout in a week - I press crown button and I see only watch face nothing happens no fireworks or special week ring animation. Then I close movement ring - same situation again - I get closed movement ring notification, perfect week notification and extended movement streak notification, but no animation after pressing crown button. At last I close stand ring, again 2 notifications at the same time - closed stand ring and perfect stand week but no animation. I have read here that Perfect week all rings closed - the Smoke… - Apple Community maybe instead of pressing crown a touch on display when it says Activity has 2 or 3 notifications wil solve this and I will see those nice ring animations. But my watch says no, it only takes me to earned award so no animation. I tried touching display/pressing crown as soon as notifications appear, wating for few seconds or minute or so, but to no avail. On New Year's Eve I have got nice fireworks notification, but i could replay this one all day by clicking/touching that notification in notification center. Why is this impossible for activity notifications? Clearly I am not single person with this problem and many people like to see those nice closing ring animations. Please give me advice how to fix this issue
