For some reason, my Watch 7 doesn't vibrate when I receive text messages. It's really weird. My niece's Watch 4 has the same problem. I've missed a lot of notifications. After I reset it, it still doesn't work. Does anyone have the same problem?
I have found that you have to allow vibration in the app settings on the phone app for it to vibrate on the watch. If you have your notifications set to silent on the phone, and don't turn the vibration on, the notifications will be silent on the watch, which includes no vibration. if you want your notifications to be silent on your phone, you can set it for alert and vibration and make your *notification sound* for that app "silent". If you have it set to put the notification icon on the watch screen, you will see you have a notification when you glance at the watch, but you won't get a vibration when it arrives, so that it may be hours later that you finally notice you had a notification.
Thank you for reaching out, thomasNg. I can certainly understand your concern with your watch not vibrating when getting text messages. In order to better assist you, can you please advise if you are using Google Messages or Samsung Messages?
