Hello Maurice1937,
We see you need help with get vibration notifications on your Apple Watch when a text message comes in. First, you will want to confirm if you've set Messages notifications to mirror your iPhone or if they are custom.
Notifications on your Apple Watch
Customize your Apple Watch notification settings
1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap the My Watch tab.
2. Tap Notifications.
3. Tap an app to see its options. To use the same notification settings on apps that appear on both your Apple Watch and iPhone, tap Mirror my iPhone. Some apps allow you to customize your notifications. Tap Custom, then choose an option:
- Allow Notifications: Notifications appear in Notification Center and your Apple Watch alerts you.
- Send to Notification Center: Notifications are sent directly to Notification Center without your Apple Watch alerting you.
- Notifications Off: The app sends no notifications.
4. If you customize an app's notifications, you can also group notifications from that app. Tap
Notification grouping, then choose an option: Off, Automatically, or By App.
Some apps offer further customization, while others only let you turn off Apple Watch notifications completely. Scroll down to the Mirror iPhone Alerts From section and turn off the setting next to the app.
Learn how to change audio settings for notifications.
If you are trying to get certain notifications while your iPhone is using a Focus or in Silent Mode, you'll also want to check your overall settings for Haptics. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics. Scroll down to the section for Ring/Silent Mode Switch.
Reply back if this doesn't help. Let us know who you have it set with your Apple Watch.
Best regards.
