Green Message bubble pop up on my Apple Watch is not showing up

Hi,


When I receive a message, the green, big message bubble that says “XX (the name) Messages (below it)” doesn’t pop up and my Watch also doesn’t ding. How do I fix this?

Thanks for replying, boundbymemories, and that additional info, it really helps! Next check the settings for notifications on your watch in the Watch app on your phone. Open the app and go to Notifications > Messages to see if it is set to Mirror my Phone, or if it is set to custom and the Alerts settings are enabled.

If they are enabled, or it is set to Mirror your phone then, since you have tried erasing your Apple Watch and you still have this issue, your next step is to contact Apple for further help with your situation.
