iPhone won't alert me with my txt tones while paired with my Apple Watch.

Why won’t my iPhone alert me with my txt tones while paired with my Apple Watch. Only my watch will chirp. Nothing grime my phone accept ringtone.

Here's how notifications work if you have an Apple Watch:


Phone locked/watch unlocked - notifications appear/sound on the watch

Phone unlocked/watch unlocked - notifications appear/sound on the phone

Phone locked/watch locked - notifications appear/sound on the phone


This is the expected behavior.
