How have you configured notifications on your Apple Watch? Remember, if the iPhone screen is locked, the notifications will come to the watch. Proximity to your iPhone doesn't matter. It only matters if the iPhone screen is active at the time a notification arrives. If its locked (screen not active), the notification will come to your watch, so you need to make sure you have configured notifications correctly on your Apple Watch. Personally, I use Haptics on my Apple Watch (not sounds) and I have it set to Prominent, so I get a pretty hard tap on my wrist.

I just went through them again, changed sounds, checked haptics... the only thing I haven't done a reset on is my watch so I'll try that. I do have an iPad and iPad mini, but in the process of trying to figure out what's going on I've totally turned off messenger on them. I think my next thing is I have an apple store near me, I'll make an appointment and bring a kid with me with their phone to let them see what's up..

I'm pretty sure when I was using my iphone 12mini, I'd get notifications on both my watch and my phone. Now that I have the 15pro, I lost my notifications. I did try powering down my apple watch and was thrilled to notice I was getting notifications once again. Thank you so much for the suggestion.


FWIW, prior to this, I tried a full reset, made sure I didn't have DND or Focus on, and made sure the sender of the texts wasn't muted.

It's 600% on iOS 17 because I did a factory reset on my iPhone 13 Pro Max I just got it like a year ago and it's 106,000% iOS 17 because my families are also having issue hopefully iOS 18 will fix all of this problem this is the reason why all of us are having this issue by the way my phone is brand new from apple.com it's not a refurbished device

I had the same problem with the same HW. Tried all the recommendations without success. Finally googled how to turn Do Not Disturb off. That worked! The iOS 18 bug must be related to the Do Not Disturb feature. I’ll wait for a fix bf using this during my sleeping hours and driving, again.


To turn off do not disturb:


Swip across screen to get to control center. Toggle off - do not disturb.
