Q: Notification not syncing across apple devices

I have all the Apple devices and recently notification does not sync across all devices. 
I have to dismiss FB messenger,  calendar notification on my Pro (one at home and one in the office), iPad, iWatch and iPhone.

I recently purchase and setup my iPhone SE.   I've setup my iWatch /iPhone to mirror notification however my iWatch does not show any notification even after a few minutes (I've waited 3-5 mins).  
Can anyone suggest on how I can fix it. 

 

What I have tried:  Logging out of all devices and logging back in/ setting and checked out notification /?

 

I've recently been having a lot of problems with all my Apple devices... really disappointing (i have another question around iphoto coming soon)

iPhone SE, iOS 9.3.3

    Hi sunrays,

     

    I understand you have some questions about notifications on your devices. I know it's important to be able to manage the flow of information that you receive, so I'm happy to provide some direction to help.

     

    Regarding the syncing of notifications, this is not something that is synced across iPhones, iPads, iPods, and MacBooks. Instead, each device receives the notification separately and is dismissed separately. You can read more about notifications on your iPhone here:

    Use Notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    As for the notifications on your Apple Watch, this article will get you on the right track:

    About notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

    If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch.
     

    If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode.

     

    If you don't see notifications on your Apple Watch

    When your Apple Watch locks or you turn on Do Not Disturb, your notifications go to your iPhone instead of your watch.

    • You’ll see Lock on your watch face when your Apple Watch locks. If your Apple Watch has a passcode, it locks automatically when you aren't wearing it, when it loses contact with your skin, or while it's charging. 
    • If Do Not Disturb is on, you'll see Moon icon on your watch face. To turn this feature on or off, swipe up on the watch face, swipe left or right to the Settings glance, then tap Do not disturb button.

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities, and enjoy the rest of your day. Cheers!
