  2. Tap Notifications, then turn off Notification Summary on the lock screen.

What to do if notifications don’t appear #

When the devices disconnect, notifications are sent to the iPhone instead of the Apple Watch. To check the connection, swipe up on the watch face to open Control Center. If the devices are disconnected, you may see the red iPhone icon, the red X icon or the Wi-Fi icon. Try connecting your iPhone and Apple Watch.

When the Apple Watch is locked or when you turn on Do Not Disturb, notifications are sent to the iPhone:

  • When the Apple Watch is locked, a lock icon appears on the watch face.
  • When Do Not Disturb is on, the Do Not Disturb icon appears.
  • To turn this off, swipe up on the watch face and tap the Do Not Disturb icon.
