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.
