Q: Why is Apple Watch not showing Facebook notifications?

i Have the Facebook app on my 5s. The watch does not alert me with any sound or haptic to any incoming notifications from Facebook but yet if I swipe down on the watch the notifications are there! All is set up for notifications on iphone correctly for the app with sound and banners switched on. Any ideas?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5

    I think the original post was about Facebook notifications, which does not have a Watch app nor Watch integration, rather than Facebook Messenger notifications, which has an app and is integrated.  Absolutely correct, though, about dictating punctuation.  I use it all the time, though more for texts than FB Messenger.  You have to get used to it if you're not old enough to remember using Dictaphones, but it works well, and in cases where it spells out the words you say instead of using the mark, in my experience it always gets your intent, backs over the words and replaces them with the mark.  To be perfectly accurate, I'm not QUITE that old.  I remember my dad using his Dictaphone, and later a telephone dial-in dictation system, to dictate memos and letters for his secretary to later type.  I didn't ever use professional dictation equipment myself.  Of course some people won't even remember that, but you get used to it pretty fast; in fact so fast, I rarely pull out my iPhone to reply to texts or emails in with responses a moderate-length paragraph or less.  Anyway, it's like most things on Watch I thought would be hassle in the Watch interface but then turned out super easy.

    My post was, very narrowly about how dictation works, not about Facebook. I was not replying to the original post. The person to whom I responded sounded as if they were unaware of how to dictate punctuation.

     

    But, I agree, once you get used to it, it's pretty easy.
