I understand that if I get a notification of a text on my watch, the notification won't come to my phone, BUT the actual text message never showed up on my phone either. Anyone else have this problem and/or know how to fix it?
Greetings steve-becker,
It sounds like you are missing texts on your iPhone after receiving them on your Apple Watch. We know how important this is for you, and you’re in the right place for answers.
If you receive messages on one device but not the other
If you have an iPhone and another iOS or iPadOS device, like an iPad, your iMessage settings might be set to receive and start messages from your Apple ID instead of your phone number. To check if your phone number is set to send and receive messages, go to Settings > Messages, and tap Send & Receive.
If you don't see your phone number, you can link your iPhone number to your Apple ID so you can send and receive iMessages from your phone number. You can also set up Text Message Forwarding so you can send and receive MMS and SMS messages on all of your Apple devices.
