Square icon on Mail notifications instead of circular? (lemmy.world)

I'm pretty sure this has happened to me several times over the years, but it hasn't happened for a while so I can't remember the fix.

But for some reason, the notifications for Mail on my Apple Watch are square instead of circular. As you know, circular notifications are interactive and can be replied to, actioned, etc. whereas square ones are literally notifications and you can't do anything with them.

Any ideas how to fix?

Yeah I think circular icons were for apps that were also installed on your Watch and square ones were purely being mirrored from your iPhone. But think that was then built upon to be circular ones being actionable and square ones just being “Dismiss”.

No idea how to fix it for Mail though, which always used to have circular. I’ve tried force restarting my Watch but it didn’t work.
