I have an iPhone 13 and an Apple Watch series 9. For the last few weeks my phone has not been lighting up and making a sound when I get notifications. (sh.itjust.works)

A Senior Advisor at Apple Support told me a few minutes ago that if I am wearing the watch the notifications go there and not the phone, and that’s how it was designed and there’s nothing I can do. I’ve had the watch for a good few months now, and I could totally be crazy, but I do NOT remember this fuckery being the case back then. Am I nuts?

They should still appear on your iPhone even when wearing the Apple Watch, but I don't think the iPhone will vibrate/play a sound. It will however when you're not wearing your watch.

Yeah, they’re there usually, but the phone does not light up or do anything, so there is no way to know

The way you're supposed to know is that your watch plays a sound/vibrates.

I guess I like knowing things the way I want to, and not the way Apple says I am supposed to know them.

Valid point, I'm just telling you how it works. To my knowledge, there's no setting to make your phone play a sound/vibrate while wearing your watch. Maybe if you turn off notifications entirely on the Watch for each app, but I haven't tried.
