push alert from Iphone timers and alarm: Not working

Hi


Does anyone have the issue with the Push Alert from Iphone [I'm referring to the Alarm and timer]. I have the Push Alert button set to ACTIVE/ON from the apple watch app on iphone but it does not prompt on my watch when the timer or alarm goes off on my phone. Hence I couldn't dismiss or snooze remotely from my watch.


Any assistance would be appreciated.


Cheers

Hi


When Push Alerts are enabled, Apple Watch will alert you about timers and alarms that you have set on your iPhone:

  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Clock > check that Push Alerts from iPhone is enabled / on.
  • For the best performance, keep both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi permanently enabled on your iPhone.


However, how notification alerts behave depends on the status of your devices:

  • When you have Wrist Detection enabled (on your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Wrist Detection):
    • If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll receive notifications on your iPhone instead of on your watch.
    • If your iPhone is locked or asleep and your watch is unlocked and on your wrist, you'll receive notifications on your watch.


Also check your Sounds & Haptics settings:

  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Sounds & Haptics - check that:
    • The Alert Volume selector is where you want it to be;
    • Silent Mode is not enabled;
    • The Haptic Strength selector is in the central or right hand position.
    • Prominent Haptic is enabled (to get pre-announcements of common alerts).


You can also set alarms directly on your watch using the Alarm Clock app:

  • From your watch face, access the Home screen by pressing the Digital Crown once, then tap on the Alarm Clock app).
