Apple Watch not showing celebration animations for exercise rings
Unable to receive celebration animations (sparkles) when I achieve an exercise goal via rings, used to get them in the past (on my Apple Watch)
Apple Watch Series 10, watchOS 26
To fix missing celebration animations, turn off Tap to Show Full Notification and Notification Privacy in your iPhone's Watch app, verify Goal Completions are enabled, and force-restart your Apple Watch. Overlapping milestone notifications or pending alerts can also suppress the sparkles.
