Third party notifications not showing after updating to watch OS3

watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hi,

I recently updated my Apple Watch to Watch OS3.
At the same time I purchased an iPhone7.
Having got everything set up, for some reason I am no longer receiving third party notifications on my Apple watch. The stock apps all send notifications, those such as reminders, text msgs, calendar etc, it is the ones such as news headlines, sports scores etc.
I’ve checked that notifications are turned on as they should be on both the watch and iPhone, I’ve also checked that in the fthird party apps they are showing mirror iPhone alerts.
As well as notifications not appearing on my watch, since changing phone I’ve not had any third party notification sound alerts on the phone either.
Anyone have any idea as to what the issue might be?

Kind regards
Graham

Try the following steps:
1. Restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch.
2. Do not hold the side button on your Apple Watch for 6 seconds otherwise you will accidentally call 911.
3. Uninstall and reinstall the third party apps.
4. More information: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204791
Hope this helps.
