I have both the watch and phone set up to notify me with sounds and vibrations but neither seems to alert me when I get a text. I have reset both to no avail.
Any ideas?
Apple Watch Series 2, iOS 11.2.5
I read the article and that explained a lot. I went in the watch setups and disabled the "mirror phone" setting and set the Custom setting to disable any alerts on the watch. I now get the audibles on my phone again.
Thanks.
I can't read the texts on the watch anyway so I really do not need to be notified of them there. The odd thing is that it used to work until a few weeks ago and I had not changed anything?
It is working fine now, thank you.
Good luck!
Good suggestion!
I'm glad to hear that you have it all worked out.

Thanks. I've worked a lot at understanding the interactions between the Watch and the iPhone, since I have both. I also made a number of feedback suggestions, especially when it came to alarms, and they finally changed things. I believe the two seem to work together quite well. I know that I can mute my watch and just get vibrations during the day when I'm teaching classes, and can look down to see if it is something that requires immediate attention. It has been an excellent addition to my technology.
When wearing my Apple watch my iPhone no longer notifies me of text messages
