Galaxy Wearable app was last updated on February 9, 2025
Things Tried:
After clearing and/or deleting the cache for the Wearable app a notification vibration isn't triggered by a text from the “Messages” app.
Uninstalled Galaxy Wearable ace reinstalled.
Factory reset the watch and reconfigured it from scratch and that didn't work.
Restarted the phone and watch and that didn't work.
And any number of combinations and sequences of the things above and that didn't work.
Thoughts:
It seems like around the morning on May 14, 2025 there was some sort of phone update and that's when I started having these problems.

The phone is S 23 Ultra and the watch is Galaxy Watch 7. Phone is receiving text and messages but the watch isn't. Since the last update to the phone this functionality is no longer working.
