Mail notification WatchOS 5

A bug for sure. I tried all suggestions here and still no haptic feedback. Then suddenly today my AW3 just froze with screen off. I had to force restart it (press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo). After this my notifications started coming through fine.

Are you getting them if you have Mail Notifications set to Custom, or is it to Mirror your iPhone? I have two accounts on my iPhone, and only want notifications for one account. When I set it to Custom for just the one account, I don't get any notifications, so I had to set it to Mirror my iPhone. While I'm not happy about getting the other email, at least it is no longer disabling the notifications for my work Exchange account

I am having the same issue. The workarounds just work to a degree. I get the email notification but it just opens up in the screen. There is no red dot notification at the top of the watch for emails.

It is undoubtedly a big and apple is silent about it.

If you read this, you will see that Apple Engineers have said there is a problem and are working on it. However, I've not even seen questions about LTE issues, and are you referring to LTE on the Watch, or iPhone? The same with WLAN.

I called Apple support and they told me first, there is no issue with notification between phone and watch.

Same now with phone LTE and WiFi issues which comes up in press.

My messsage was only a side comment to this thread.

When you make calls to Customer Service/Support, not everyone there knows when Engineering is involved in issues. I don't doubt what you are saying, but I've not read anything about LTE issues. I'm interested if there is something, so some identifying information would help me find it, as far as what the issue seems to be and what phone, etc.

Same problem as everyone else, and I’ve reported it on the support link someone posted. AW4, iOS 12 on an iPhone 7. I tried the workaround people mentioned, setting up a vibration in mail on my phone, and using mirror in the watch app. Nada. I rebooted both. Nada.

It’s not the end of the world, I get all the other notifications, and I am more interested in text and Messenger notifications right away, but it’s still an annoyance, and pretty inexcusable that Apple made such a goof. Awaiting iOS 12.0.1 and 12.0.2 and ….

I think the problem (bug) is related to the new feature "Quiet notifications".

In "Notification center" if i choose one notification, swipe left, and tap in Manage.

I choose "Disabled Quiet notifications"

And I configure also in app Watch "Turn on" in Notifications - Mail - Personalize (NO mirror), so in Watch works ok sound and haptic, but don´t appear "red point" in Watch.

I have the opposite problem. I get notifications on my watch, bit when I go to mail on the watch it says no account. Setup a new account on your iPhone. I have a series 2 and iPhone 6. Don’t want to wipe the watch to fix such a stupid problem. Is apple aware of these issues?

No it’s the complete opposite. I DO receive alerts on my watch for email that comes in. On the watch when I go to the email app it says no email account found and that I have to setup an account on my phone.

Notification feedback worked in mirror mode with watchOS 5. Updated to 5.1, set notifications to custom (no notifications for one account) --> no sound or haptic. Switched back to mirror --> NO FEEDBACK!

Restarted both watch and iPhone a couple times, feedback is now back in mirror mode

I had the same problem and after playing with the settings a bit I managed to get mails work in my watch too.

I set mail to mirror iPhone settings. After that I set default vibration for mail notifications in my iPhone settings. For some reason after iOS 12 update default vibration setting was no vibration for mails. Finally I set my watch to use custom setting for mail notifications and made sure all was set ON (haptic etc.). After these I get mails to my watch and red dot too. Hopefully this works for you too

I don't believe so. I'm still testing, and it does not seem to. The only way that I can get Watch notifications for my mail, with two accounts on the phone, is to set it to mirror my iPhone. If I set it to Custom, to be able to turn one of the accounts off for the watch, I no longer get mail notifications on the iPhone or the Watch.

Mike, an email with your question just came through to my watch!!!!!!!! Haptic notification, so exciting!!! (Sign of how boring my life is?)

I upgraded to 5.0.1, left it on mirror. Then another poster said s/he tried switching back to custom, so I tried that this morning. It still really is mirror, but I've got custom checked, and the haptic notification came through. I think you just need to keep flipping switches until it works for you, then don't touch anything.

I unpaired and re paired my series 4 setting it up as a new watch and that’s seems to have fixed the issue. Still, you shouldn’t have to do that. There has to be a bug and hopefully the next watch update will address it because I don’t think 5.0.1 fixed it
