Hey Guys, not sure if this is the right place for this post - please feel free to remove if not.

Late last week I noticed my Apple Watch (Series 2, Sport) notifications stopped being received, and almost all notifications were coming through my iPhone X. At first I thought it might have been the sleeve of my jacket covering the watch face, causing Watch notifications to be "silenced" - I read this was a setting on by default that could cause watch notifications to stop - but I have now realised no notifications are making it through to my watch at all, and the only notifications I receive are for those triggered by the Watch itself, not by any apps (So I only get Watch notifications for things like exercise/activity tracking, "Breathe", Stand etc.) and all app-related notifications linked to my phone are not pushed through to the watch.

  • I've checked multiple times and the connection to the watch is fine, updates made on the phone Watch app are working as expected.

  • The watch and phone are not on Do Not Disturb, and not on theatre mode or anything

  • I've restarted both the Watch and the phone (iPhone X)

  • Checked notifications at app-level in Watch app on phone and all are set to Mirror Alerts as expected

  • No other settings have been changed.
Not sure what else to do - are there any settings I might not know about that would cause all app notifications to stop? Any help appreciated!
 
  1. Restart both if that dosen't work
  2. Un-Pair and then Re-Pair
Re-paired - not 100% sure but I think most notifications are working now. Seems like some (mainly apps who don't have a native Watch app) still aren't coming through on the watch though, just lock screen on iPhone. Strange.

[doublepost=1531687177][/doublepost]The iPhone 8 plus and watch 2 updates helped. Then, erased and reset Watch to pair. Now it works.
