Q: Watch and Phone Text Messages

I have an iphone and apple watch.  Is there a way to get all text messages on your phone regardless if your watch is on or not.  I have been getting text messages on my watch and then need to go find my phone to respond but the message is not there (only on the watch).  I find it very difficult as I often look back at a conversation for prior information but it is not there!!

    The full message stream should be on the phone - that's how it's working for me, and how it should work.

     

    Check that the Messages app on the phone is using the same Apple ID as the watch is using (the Watch app on the phone tells you what ID the Watch uses).

     

    If they match, try restarting the phone.
