Software 8.64 - Smart notifications not working

My Instinct 2S Solar was recently updated to firmware version 8.64 and I noticed that the phone notifications do not appear on the watch anymore. Everything worked as intended before the update.

The watch and phone were restarted multiple times and all notification toggles were set to "on" on the CIQ app. Do not disturbed was also set to "off" on the watch.

Does anybody else have observed this issue? Is there a plan to address it?

Thanks a lot for the support!

A notification from the CIQ app appeared saying that the phone GPS needed tu be turned on for the weather widget. After activating GPS, the notifications suddenly started to work again.

Thank you both…

For me it works...

I think it would be a good idea to check the notification access permissions on the phone, reinstall the app, and if it doesn't help, do a factory reset on the watch.

Maybe this'll help.

Thank you both for your answers though.

Leaving this in case somebody else experiences the same issue.
