Smartwatch "Notifications" Only Work Sometimes

4.5

You get some alerts on your watch, but others (like WhatsApp or Email) never show up.

Symptoms
  • Missing alerts
  • Intermittent sync
  • Delayed notifications
Possible Causes
  • Battery optimization on phone
  • Bluetooth range
  • App notification settings

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Disable Battery Optimization

On Android, set the watch app to "Unrestricted" battery usage.

2

Check App-Specific Alerts

In the watch app, ensure each specific app is toggled "ON".

3

Keep App Open in Background

Don't "swipe away" the watch app from your recent apps list.

When to See a Technician

If your phone "kills" the watch app to save battery, the connection will drop and notifications will stop.
