Problem dismissing notifications between watch and iphone

[paulmeyers42]

After the upgrade to iOS 9.3 and watchOS 2.2, I noticed that dismissing notifications on the watch doesn't dismiss them on the iPhone anymore. I have a 6s and a 42mm stainless steel. I've restarted both several times but that hasn't worked. I may unpair/pair next.

Anybody else have this problem?

Yep, exactly the same thing

It actually seems inconsistent to me now. Sometimes it'll work fine, sometimes it won't clear, no rhyme or reason.

Thought it was just me but definitely having issue with notifications not clearing on the phone.

I see this as well. Every notification I dismiss on my watch is still on the lock screen of my phone when I check later on. At first I thought it always did this but then I realized this was a change.

Ditto. Same damn problem. Every time I look at my phone I freak out, thinking I've missed something.

Dang it. I came here looking for a fix.

It clears email notifications for me without a problem, but everything else (ESPN, news apps, etc.) doesn't clear.

Seems that the recent watch os update has introduced a bug as this was not happening before...

The problem is also reported on Apple's discussion forums as well, hopefully they will fix it in the next patch update. Send your feedback to Apple
