There are a few notification limitations on Apple devices that are controlled by the platform and cannot be changed by the app:
- If the app is open on your phone: You will not receive a notification on your Apple Watch.
- If your phone is unlocked: Notifications will only appear on your phone, not on your watch.
- If your phone is locked: Notifications will be sent to both your phone and watch. However, there may be a 15-20 second delay on the watch notification as Apple determines the best device to push the alert to.
These are Apple system restrictions that affect how notifications are delivered across devices.
