hI I have bbc new set to send news notifications on my phone and set to mirror my phone on my watch. They show on my phone Notification Center but don't make a sound, as you would expect as I have set watch to receive them,but they are not coming up on my watch. They have done in the past but are not now. I have looked at all setting and they seem to be ok. Is this something that has happened after an upgrade
If notifications are not behaving as expected, the following steps may help:
Check your settings for alerts on your iPhone:
You have already confirmed that the Watch app is configured to Mirror Alerts for the app.
Update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:
Check for and install any available updates for the BBC News app:
Restart both your iPhone and watch, turning both off together and then restarting your iPhone first:
Unpair and re-pair your watch.
If the issue persists, I suggest that you consult the developer support resources and/or contact the developer to report it and seek assistance with their app:
Hi
How notifications behave depends on the status of your devices and your settings. With Wrist Detection enabled, in order to bring notifications to your attention as soon as possible:
- If your iPhone is unlocked, you will receive notifications on your iPhone instead of on your watch.
- If your iPhone is locked or asleep and your watch is unlocked (regardless of whether the watch screen is asleep or awake) and on your wrist, you will receive notifications on your watch.
- If your watch is locked or has Do Not Disturb enabled, notifications will go to your iPhone.

hI Jonathan UK. Thanks for your reply. when my phone is asleep and my watch unlocked and on my wrist, it doesn't recieve notifications from BBC news despite being set up to do so. I recieve other notifications, including the email informing me of your reply also calendar alarms etc. just not news from BBC

I did all you suggested except the unpairing as I did not want to set up my cards and Apple Pay again just for this. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the app on my phone and all works well.
Many thanks for your help
You're welcome! 🙂
