Audible notifications not coming in Apple Watch after updating to watchOS 26

I updated to iOS 26 two days ago (13 Oct-25) on my Apple Watch SE. Normally, during a walk, an announcement will come (audible) for 10 minutes of completion,1 Km of walking, and so on . Now (today ), the announcement (audible) is not coming. I will go with only an APPLE watch for walking (not with an iPhone - why and how to resolve -Thanks for support

Voice Feedback is still enabled in the settings for Workout in the WatchApp on your iPhone?


Did you already try to force restart your iPhone and Apple Watch?

To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
