iPhone and watch

Neither my iPhone nor my Apple Watch are notifying me of texts or phone calls. If they are paired they are silent. Do not disturb is not on. Volume is at high. My iPad is also in this mess. Help!

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Check your notification settings on all your devices. If your Watch is unlocked and on your wrist (assuming you have “Wrist Detection” on), your iPhone’s notifications will SOUND on your Watch ONLY. If you’re not wearing your Watch, or it’s locked, your notifications will SOUND on your iPhone.


Watch’s notification’s settings and your iPhone’s Notification settings should be as pictured. If you’re still having issues, let me know and I’ll see if I can help you troubleshoot further, step-by-step. But I’m hoping this will fix your issue.
