Why Am I Not Getting WhatsApp Notifications on My Apple Watch?

It’s unfortunate when you miss out on important WhatsApp notifications, especially if you rely on the messaging app to stay connected. If you are an Apple Watch user, it’s even more frustrating when you don’t get notifications on your wrist device. Luckily, there are a few things that you can do to make sure that you never miss another WhatsApp notification on your Apple Watch again.

Check Your Phone Settings

The first step to solving this problem is to make sure that your phone’s settings are up-to-date. Go ahead and open up the Settings app on your iPhone and tap ‘Notifications’.

From here, make sure that the switch next to ‘Allow Notifications’ is turned on (it should be green). You should also make sure that ‘Show Previews’ is set to ‘Always’. This will ensure that all incoming messages will show up as a notification.

Enable Notifications for WhatsApp

Next, go back into the Settings app and tap ‘Notifications’ once again. From here, scroll down until you find the WhatsApp app listed.

Make sure that notifications for this app are enabled by tapping the switch next to it (it should be green). Additionally, if you want more customised control over how notifications appear on your Apple Watch, you can tap ‘Options’ and adjust settings like Show Previews or Show in Notification Centre.

Enable Notifications on Your Apple Watch

Finally, open up the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and select ‘My Watch’. Next, tap ‘Notifications’ and toggle the switch next to ‘Allow Notifications’ so that it is turned on (it should be green). This will ensure that all notifications from your iPhone will appear on your Apple Watch.

Conclusion:

By following these steps you should now be able to receive all of your WhatsApp notifications without any issues. Keep in mind though that if any of these settings change in future versions of iOS or watchOS then these steps may need to be repeated in order for notifications to work properly again.
