Hey all. I could swear at one point I could leave my iPhone screen down on a table (like in a work meeting, or at dinner) and all call and text vibrations would be pushed ONLY to my Apple watch. That is not happening anymore (phone AND watch both vibrate). Am I crazy? Was this never a thing? I am presently using an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Does this maybe have something to do with the 'always on' screen on the iPhone? (Don't think my last one had that as an option). Some (maybe) helpful background info...I've tried resetting my watch and phone. My watch and phone are ALWAYS on silent, that hasn't changed. Also, I know you can setup different 'Focus' profiles, but I've never utilized those in the past so that hasn't changed either. Thanks in advance.
Got a tip for us?

Ok, so the behavior in the article is the behavior I was expecting, but it's NOT what is happening. I'm sitting here watching TV, my phone is locked and screen down on the couch next to me, and then suddenly both the couch and my watch are vibrating. It's super annoying. Any ideas on where to look to fix this?
Are both on 26.2.1? If not, update.
You said you "reset" both - not sure what you meant by that, but certainly full power-off/power-on of both would be a good idea.
Haven't seen the behavior myself with my 15 Pro Max & AW U3. Though, both just updated to 26.2.1 today and haven't received any calls since then.
