I have a Samsung S21 and a Galaxy watch 6. When someone rings the doorbell I get it like a call on the watch but nothing on the phone. 

I have tried to block notifications from Arlo on the watch but that doesn't help. I would of course like to be able to answer the call with video on my phone. Any tips?

Are you a shared access account or the primary admin?

I'm admin with primary account, I have shared access to my fiance that "sometimes" get the call on her phone. She has no smartwatch.

Is this a recent issue?

No, it has been like this for a few months. It was not like this with my previous fossil watch but I'm not sure if it was also working in the beginning with this Galaxy watch.

Yes, and I have even updated both phone and watch recently with the problem both before and after the update.

If you are not using your watch do you receive the phone call from the doorbell press?

Yes when I turned off my watch I got the call on my phone, but my fiance did not get the call on hers.

When I turned the watch back on I got the call on the watch again and not my phone. But this time my fiance also got the call.

Yes we had a call session where I tested a lot of things, and later I have also sent some logs from when the error occurred again.
