No SMS/iMessage notifications on iPhone or Apple watch when near Mac
For a long time now I've been having an issue where I don't receive SMS/iMessage notifications on my Apple Watch or iPhone when I'm near my Mac. I get a notification on my Mac, but I'm not always staring at the screen, so many messages go unnoticed until I check my phone.
I've read a few other posts here about this issue, but none had solutions that fixed my issue. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I've found I miss a lot of messages during the day due to this.
I am currently on iOS 17, watchOS 10.0, and MacOS Ventura 13.5.2, however the issue has been present for many previous versions as well.
