My mother has an iPhone, iPad and Iwatch. It appears that when she has the watch on it takes alert priority, it alerts via the watch but not the others.
*the (repeated) audio alerts
from one of the others are
great for her
Is this a normal set up for the notifications?
if this is the case can I reprioritize the notifications, to another?
if this is not, and I’ve probably messed up a setting, how can I get them back to alerting with more than just the watch
Notifications (Sounds, Haptics and Banners)
Apart from actual phone calls which ring on both by default, the Sounds and haptic notifications and banners for messages etc follow these rules…
If the phone is in use (open) then you get tangible notifications on the phone only. Messages and Mail still appear silently on the Watch in the relevant app without banner..
If the phone is locked you get tangible notifications on the Watch only. If you have notifications set for iPhone Lock Screen or Notification center they still go to the phone, but silently without banner.
If you go into each notification type and use Custom and disallow notifications the alerts and banners go to the phone always and not to the Watch (only for eligible apps)
