So I’ve got this problem where dismissing Notifications on my  Watch don’t dismiss on my iPhone and vice versa when dismissed from iPhone don’t dismiss on my Watch.

Come to think of it they don’t dismiss on my Mac either, but now I’m not sure if that ever was the case before.

Either way it’s very annoying and means I need to dismiss the same things multiple times and I’m now getting really tired of it.

Anyone ever had this? I’ve repaired the Watch and reset it in the process but no joy. I’ve not tried resetting the phone as I’m not sure restoring from backup will help and don’t want to start from scratch.

Double check the settings on each device.
Apple ID screen/Settings > iCloud. - Toggle the switches next to each category, app, content you want synched.
Synch settings must be identical between all devices.

I have it all on across the board.

This also did work and just stopped by itself at some OS update it seems.
 
Sadly not.

Guess it’s a phone reset and see if that helps.

Maybe less drastically try to unlink my Apple ID from all my Macs first.
 
It might be one of those cases where you need to sign out and sign back in with your iCloud account (one or all of the devices).
I haven't had the exact same issue but a lot more bugs pertaining to iCloud syncing among various phones and other gadgets.

Yeah not a terrible idea to try them all signed out at once.
 
So signing out of all my Macs appears to have potentially solved this.

Further testing required.
