Well I am having a day.
I will try and keep this short. The watch gets the messages fine (shows them un-read in my inbox), but does not alert me when they come in.
-my notifications are on (both in the app, on my phone and on the watch)
-notification privacy is OFF
- tried unsyncing the phone and watch and resyncing it twice now
- tried shutting down both the watch and the phone, countless times.
- Software is up to date (OS6 or whatever)
- tried turning the notifications to custom (everything on) and at ‘mirror iphone’ , both do not solve issue.
- obviously I am talking about ONLY when my phone is dark/in my pocket or locked or where ever else within Bluetooth range, yes, I know that they won’t show on the watch when the phone is active.
- the messages beep and notify on my phone, NOT on my watch, even when the phone is dark.
- I-message is active and good to go (but I tried it both ways, no difference)
Something to note, RANDOMLY, the watch will get a text notification EXACTLY AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, and I will get so so excited like the issue has resolved itself, but it always go back to just how it is soon after. Naturally, this happened while I was at the Apple store this morning with the Genius Bar guy, who of course looked at me like I was crazy. I thought I may have been.
I literally feel defeated lol, I am not a tech person and the Apple store can’t help me.
Can anyone help me?????
