I remember A time when the apple watch used to notify me iMessages before my iphone, now it takes a good 10 minutes for it to pop up on my watch, also has anyone had any luck reusing the Walkie talkie app? I tried it the other day with no success, restarted the watch, deleted contacts, did this on two watches the receiving and sending ones and nothing, even logged out of my imessage, worked for a 1 minute and once the session timed out, it never worked again!
Going back on the notifications though everything is on, nothing has changed but I’m just curious because everything used to be instant and sometimes before the iphone knew and I liked that way.
 
It’s usually instant for me. I’d bet it’s something that’s going on with iCloud for you. Repairing the watch is the only thing I can think to try.
 
Paladin, just touching base on this. You mean to “re-pair“ the watch with the phone right?! Not that the problem means that the Watch needs *repairing*, as in getting it fixed!

I read it the other way the first time I saw the thread!

Haha. Yes. Sorry. I meant re-pairing. I typed that too quickly.

iMessages come through for me but I never get notified for SMS messages ?
