Stopwatch Notification Not Reappearing After Dismissing from Lock Screen (iPhone 15, iOS 18.4)

Hi everyone,

I regularly use the Stopwatch in the Clock app, and I’ve noticed something odd. I had paused the stopwatch, and the notification was showing on my lock screen. I swiped it away to clear it.

But when I restarted the stopwatch later, the notification didn’t come back — not in the Dynamic Island, not on the lock screen, and not even in the notification center. The only way I can now view or control the stopwatch (pause/stop) is by opening the Clock app directly.

I’ve tried restarting my phone, but that didn’t help either.

I’m using an iPhone 15 running iOS 18.4.

Has anyone else experienced this, or found a fix?

Thanks in advance!
