HT204791 Notifications on both apple watch and phone?

Is there any way to have notifications like iMessage or Text message go to both the Apple Watch and iPhone?
For example I have my watch only giving Haptic notifications so not to annoy me or anyone. I would like to have my notifications on both because when I have my phone setup for notifications with sound it is nice to hear them and look. Now with my watch it seems like all my notifications only on my watch because my iPhone is usually in "sleep" unless I was using it.

I agree completely, I think the user having the option to have notifications on both devices would be great.  I'm not always aware of the haptic on my watch, also like having the sound show up on my phone (especially if I'm not in the same room with my phone), plus the alert that shows on the face as well.  This would be an excellent software update!

    How do I get notifications on both my iPhone and Apple Watch, not just the Watch?

    That is correct, I spoke with apple and they told me it's one or the other depending on which one you are actively using at the time. I think it would be very useful to have your phone still vibrate along with your watch, as I've noticed I don't feel the watch most times, even with the prominent touch selection on (i.e. when i'm driving) Then you'd be able to know you got a message or notification from your phone vibrating and then could check the watch, although there would be a second or two delay like when you receive a phone call.

  • Can't get Apple watch and iPhone 5S to communicate over wifi.  Any suggestions?

    one feature of the watch I'm very interested in is the ability for it to communicate over wifi to my phone.  Put the phone down or be charging it in another room and still use the watch. So far it works fine Bluetooth but I haven't had any success wifi.  Phone is definitely connected wifi.  i don't see any options on the watch or watch app on the phone that would address this .  Anyone have any ideas?

    According to this:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH20767
    If your Apple Watch and iPhone are on the same network but aren’t connected by Bluetooth, you can also do the following on Apple Watch without iPhone:
    Send and receive messages using iMessage
    Send and receive Digital Touch messages
    Use Siri
    It implies you should get iMessage but not email.

  • TS2326 apple id and phone number of the same contact on different threads

    Hi I have a single contact with apple id and phone number on my iphone 4 ios6. The issue is I have 2 contacts in Messages for the same Contact entry: one with the phone number (green bubbled) and the other with the apple id (blue bubbled). Too annoying. Couldn't find how. Any help? Thanks.

    now I'm having the same problem but with the Weather Center app. Whenever I turn on the iPhone I get a notification the weather center is using current location and do I want to continue letting it or not. But there is another error message behind with a keypad and this time I cannot dismiss the weather center dialog.
    Any suggestions?

  • Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

    Why did this pop up today?
    Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

    Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
    " Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. "  ( my iPhone is not new. )
    " If you recently signed into "xxxxx  iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
    On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button.  Well it's NOT "OK"  No option is offered if it is not "OK".
    I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever.  Just normal use today.  In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
    I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
    I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in iTunes when AirPort Express is running at the same time - Can't play music on both Apple TV and AirPort Express speakers together

    Hi there!
    I am trying to play music from my Mac on multiple speakers, Apple TV and AirPort Express. But as soon as the AirPort Express station is plugged in, the Apple TV does not show up in iTunes anymore. When trying the same using iPhones Remote app it works perfectly.
    Does anyone of you have an idea why iTunes does not show me both Apple TV AND AirPort Express? (it has nothing to to with the IP adress as the adresses are different).
    Thanks for any help!

    As my english isn't too good I made a screenshot to show you what I mean.
    As you can see in the image below iTunes only shows me the computer speakers and the AirPort Express. But at the bottom you can see that iTunes actually recognized 3 different speaker (Mac, AirPort, Apple TV 2). Why does the Apple TV not show up in the multiple speakers window? Any ideas?

  • I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account. why is this?

    I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, both of which are set up for facetime. When someone calls me, both the iPad and phone ring, even though the phone is set to receive facetime calls on the number and the iPad is set for an email account.
    How can I change the setup so on the email only the iPad rings and on the phone number only the phone rings?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

    Hi SLCfromMadison,
    This is the message that you'll receive when your Apple ID is signed into on an iPhone. If you haven't done so, the article linked below details a number of steps that can help verify the security of your Apple ID should you think that an unauthorized person has access to it.

  • Difference between apple watch and apple watch sport

    Okay so that's pretty obvious from the features page on Apple's website, HOWEVER, which one is better for everyday use? How does the Apple Watch vs. Apple Watch Sport perform daily in terms of resistance (which scratches easier, etc.). It explained stuff on the page but I don't exactly understand it... Also which is more likely to cost more due to materials (again somewhat unaware of these things). Basically the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport explained in terms of day-to-day usage for the average user

    Oh okay. I was just hoping that based on knowing what the materials are made of you could get a "feel" of what would happen in day-to-day
    Your guess is as good as mine.

  • I rec'd an alert that my "Apple ID and phone no. are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone."  I am not using iCloud and I don't have a new iPhone.  Is this something to worry about?

    Howdy Libbidydooda,
    There are a couple of possibilities that may apply to the email you have received regarding your Apple ID. The first is that the email may be a legitimate warning that your Apple ID has been compromised. For this reason I would suggest that you change the password to your Apple ID as soon as possible. Use the instructions on this page -
    Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
    In order to increase security for your Apple ID you may want to set up and use two-step verification. See this article for information about it -
    Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support
    The second possibilty is that the email is an attempt at "phishing" in order to get you to reveal personal information. Typically this is done with an email that looks like it comes from an official source but has links to web pages that, while they may look like they are real, may actually be gathering your information for use by others. This article has more information about phishing -
    Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email - Apple Support
    For this reason it is important that you do not follow any links in the email, as they may compromise your security.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How Health App chooses between Apple Watch and iphone

    For step counter, the Health App seems to pick up both steps measured by the Watch and iPhone. Even I put Watch on the top of the phone as the source, the Health app picks up duplicated data from Watch and iPhone if I carry both of them. Is there a way to fix that? Cause the data actually is very misleading.
    PS. Another interesting thing is that sometimes watch and iPhone measure the same number of steps and sometimes they don't and my little test shows that iPhone actually more accurate.

    I have the same issue, but my iPhone actually has fewer steps counted. I did a dumb test to count steps myself and looks like my iPhone has more accurate steps. The thing bothering me most is the Health app picks steps from iphone and watch. It doesn't recognize sometimes the data is duplicated.

  • Apple watch and iPhone show different step counts

    When I look at the activity app on my watch and on my phone, they show a different number of steps. For the most part i've been walking with both my phone and watch, so I'm wondering why the number doesn't sync between the two. Obviously on the phone its including some additional steps that it is counting that the watch didn't get. I have not calibrated it yet (doing a workout with the GPS on the phone). When I look at the raw data int he Health app, the phone is obviously counting a couple more steps each time. Is this something other people are encountering or will it fix once I've calibrated it?
