Apple Watch & iPhone Notifications

watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hello,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to have both the iPhone and Apple Watch vibrate simultaneously when receiving text or email messages. From what I understand, the iPhone must be locked or inactive for the Watch to vibrate—and likewise, when the iPhone is active, the Watch doesn’t vibrate. Is that correct?

I’ve noticed some people prefer both devices to vibrate at the same time, but I’m unsure if this is even possible.

Apologies if this has already been discussed—please feel free to point me to the relevant thread if so.

Thank you!

I think there is a podcast on it. Probably Thomas did one. Make sure your notification mirror each other.

Sadly, Apple has not given us such a feature yet maybe they will do it in iOS 19/26
