Apple watch notification issue

Hi hi!! So im currently using the apple watch 10 46mm paired with 15 Pro Max.

After updating to the 26.1 Os version i stopped receiving notifications on my watch, however when someone calls me on my phone i still get the pop up screen to pick up the call either on my phone or watch. Ive tried to remedy it by

restarting both devices

turning off and on on notifications on both ends

turning wrist detection on and off

anyone experiencing the same issue?

Hello! I had the same problem after updating to watchOS 26.1: no notifications from Telegram and WhatsApp were coming to my watch. Here’s what helped:

Unpair the watch from the iPhone.
Pair the watch with the iPhone again.

Now the notifications are coming through.

Did you already try to force restart your iPhone and Apple Watch?

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.

I'm having the same issue. I've tried everything you suggested, but it didn't work. Finally, I unpaired my watch and then re-paired it. This seemed to help, but then I started not receiving notifications again.

It's quite annoying, and I can't figure out how to fix it.
