Notifications aren't showing up on your smartwatch
Restart your watch and phone, then check that notifications are turned on in your companion app. Make sure Bluetooth is connected and the app you want notifications from has permission to send alerts.
When notifications disappear, it's because the connection needs a refresh or the settings got turned off. We'll restart everything, check your notification settings, and make sure Bluetooth is working properly.
