My mam's Versa 4 has a strange issue. it's paired with a pixel 8 phone and now whenever she gets an notification it does come on her watch but she can't read it.
for example if I send her a WhatsApp, it will show the WhatsApp symbol with my name but there's no way of reading the actual message and she has to use her phone to read it

Hello @Chris_uk35 ! It’s great to hear from you!
I'm sorry to hear that your mom's Versa 4 is not receiving the notifications preview.
Please verify the settings in each app your mom wants to receive notifications from:
On her phone tap settings / Apps & notifications / Notifications / Notifications on lock screen.
Make sure the Fitbit app can run in the background on her phone. For more information, see What should I know about using the Fitbit app on my Android phone?

Thank you for your reply @Chris_uk35 !
Please confirm if the phone, app, and Versa 4 are up-to-date, and try to restart the watch and your mom's phone, please.

Both are up to date, both been restarted, still the same issue.
She can see she has a notication and quick replies are there but it just says who the notification is from and wont let her read it
