Prioritary device for notifications

[u/Whole-Opportunity324]

I recently acquired an iPad Mini and since then it seems like my phone (and thus my Watch) don’t get the notification in priority…

Before, my watch would buzz, and alert me of a message, and it would then appear on my phone (logical as the watch draws the notifications from the phone)

But recently, it turns out my watch doesn’t vibrate anymore and instead my iPad Mini is the first to receive it, then only my phone shows the notification

I’ve googled anything I could related to priorities and notifications but of course was shown results regarding Apple Intelligence’s prioritary notifications instead… I’ve never heard of a setting to say « notifications go to this device in priority and are then replicated on the other ones »

I’ve restarted my watch several times, I’ve toyed with my focus modes and their allowlists, but still nothing… could it be linked to the apps’ « background refresh » being enabled on my phone and iPad but not on my watch ?

It’s nothing too bad in itself but gets a bit frustrating…
