Activity sharing push notifications are not working

I recently bought a new Apple Watch (series 8). Since I’ve had the watch, I do not get notified when my friends who I share fitness data with, have completed an activity. They also do not get notified of me completing a work out.


I have checked my settings and notifications are turned on for activity sharing.


If I open the Fitness app, I can see their activities, but I liked getting the notications, as it gives you the option to send a response back to their workout.


Any help getting this working again would be much appreciated.

A few weeks ago I suddenly had this happen with my Watch 8. My fitness friends went missing. My friends stopped getting my data and I no longer got their notifications. They were all in my phone though. It turned out that in the Watch App on my iPhone, it signed me out of my Apple ID. Apparently having the watch paired with the phone wasn’t enough. Try going into the General settings of the Watch App and then Apple ID. When I went into it, it had a message asking me to sign in. Once I did that suddenly all my fitness friends appeared again in my watch and we started getting notifications with each other again.
