I use Ring cameras for my house and my aunt's house. (she lives 4 hours away and that's my only way to keep an eye on her.) I've had her set up for about a year. In all that time, when I received a motion notification from any of the cameras on my account, I'd receive a corresponding notification on my watch. I could simply lift my watch and see a snapshot of the motion captured along with the identifying information for the specific camera. With that, I could determine if the notification was something I could simply dismiss, or if it was something I needed to look at closer.
In the last 2+ weeks, I no longer receive the snapshot on my watch. I only receive the identifier: "motion at your front door" for example. I now have to pick up my phone every time I want a clue as to what any particular notification is. It's, to put it mildly, a PITA. I've not received an update on the watch since I got it. It's running One UI 6.0 out of the box. I've checked the battery settings to see if that is suddenly limiting my Ring notifications. There is no companion Ring app for the watch. There was a Ring app update dated 10.11.24, but nothing noted in the update beyond bug fixes and improvements. I'm currently staring at a brick wall trying to come up with any ideas for how to fix this. BTW, I did clear the cache and that didn't fix it. I even reset the watch......no luck. My base guess is that it's something to do with the Ring app, but it's just a guess.
I appreciate any thoughts/ideas anybody could offer. I'm stumped.
