Slow message notifications on AWU2

[usmaak]

I don’t know if this is an iPhone issue, an iOS 26 issue or an AWU2 and WatchOS 26 issue. I have a 17 Pro and I have noticed that some notifications, particularly messages, are sometimes slow to show up. I can get a message and not get the notification for a minute or two, or sometimes longer. It’s not all of the time and I can’t figure out what the cause is. I didn’t notice this on my old 14 Pro Max but I had that updated to iOS 26 for only a few days before getting my 17 Pro.

I don’t know if it is the phone or the iOS or the watch or the WatchOS. Both the watch and the phone are on 26.1 and it was also a problem on 26.0.1 and 26.1.

Has anyone noticed issues like this?
