After using the phone during the day and placing it back on the charger, the notifications often stop appearing again.

Simply keeping the device on charge will not activate Standby Mode.

It is unclear whether Standby Mode is activated after placing the device on the charger.

If any of the Focus modes are also activated alongside the Standby mode, then notifications will only appear based on the Focus Mode settings. These status settings are not mentioned in your post.

This is not true:

Where notifications appear

Notifications will appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both.

If your iPhone is unlocked, you’ll receive notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch.

If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you’ll receive notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked.

Some apps, such as the Noise app, are only available on your Apple Watch. Notifications for these apps won’t appear on your iPhone.

• The red notification icon will appear at the top of your watch face when you have unread notifications. If you want to hide the notification icon, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap Notifications, then turn off Notifications Indicator.

When you read or dismiss notifications on your Apple Watch, they’ll also be also dismissed from your iPhone.

If this is a bug in iOS 26.2, then all iPhone 16 Pro devices using a MagSafe charger would be affected and there would be a significant number of posts in this forum. This has not yet occurred.
