I have an iPhone 13 and an Apple Watch series 9. For the last few weeks my phone has not been lighting up and making a sound when I get notifications. (sh.itjust.works)

A Senior Advisor at Apple Support told me a few minutes ago that if I am wearing the watch the notifications go there and not the phone, and that’s how it was designed and there’s nothing I can do. I’ve had the watch for a good few months now, and I could totally be crazy, but I do NOT remember this fuckery being the case back then. Am I nuts?

The way you're supposed to know is that your watch plays a sound/vibrates.

I guess I like knowing things the way I want to, and not the way Apple says I am supposed to know them.

Valid point, I'm just telling you how it works. To my knowledge, there's no setting to make your phone play a sound/vibrate while wearing your watch. Maybe if you turn off notifications entirely on the Watch for each app, but I haven't tried.
