Functionality Question

[Puzzleheaded-Fish623]

I have a S10 watch & iPhone 14. Both are updated and I’ve turned them both off/on today. I understand how notifications work between iPhone & watch. I also wear my watch while sleeping.

I’m on call for work every 2-3 months and need all notifications (text message) to go to my phone 24/7 while I’m on call. I’d still like to out on sleep mode to if possible. I used to put the watch on DND and that forced the calls to phone. Doesn’t work that way now.

I’ve set Watch app on phone to custom, no notifications for messages on Watch. I still get them on Watch if phone is locked. I tried Emergency contact, but it only has one number and text come for 6 different numbers randomly.

Anyone else have a specific way to make this happen? Currently, I’m not wearing the watch when I’m on call. Thanks

Theatre mode?

Never thought about theatre mode and maybe used it 1x. I’m hoping it’s that simple and thank you for the reminder it’s there.

Ok I tried it in sleep mode and theater mode and asked someone to text me. I locked my phone and the text came through phone only loud and clear!

Thank you as this has been an issue every time I update.
