Galaxy Watch 8 Not Showing WhatsApp Notifications

Name: Google Pixel Watch 4
Brand: Google
Availability: PreOrder
Rating: 4.8 (1250 reviews)

WhatsApp notifications not appearing on your Galaxy Watch 8 usually stem from permission issues, Bluetooth connectivity problems, or Samsung Secure Folder conflicts. This guide covers the most common fixes.

Quick Checks

Before diving into troubleshooting, verify these basics:

Bluetooth Connected: Watch shows connected status to your phone
Other Notifications Work: Test if other app notifications appear on watch
WhatsApp Not in Secure Folder: Apps in Samsung Secure Folder cannot sync to the watch

Enable Notification Permissions

Notifications require proper permissions on both your phone and in the Galaxy Wearable app.

On Your Phone:

Open Settings Apps WhatsApp
Tap Notifications and enable all notification types
Enable Show on lock screen
Enable Pop on screen

In Galaxy Wearable App:

Open Galaxy Wearable on your phone
Go to Watch settings Notifications
Tap App notifications and find WhatsApp
Enable all WhatsApp notification categories
Set priority to High for immediate delivery

Grant Notification Access:

Open phone Settings Apps Galaxy Wearable
Tap Special access Notification access
Ensure Galaxy Wearable is enabled

Check Secure Folder

If WhatsApp is installed in Samsung Secure Folder, notifications cannot sync to your watch.

Open your app drawer and verify WhatsApp is in your main apps, not Secure Folder
If WhatsApp is in Secure Folder, move it to main phone storage
Dual Messenger instances may also cause conflicts

Check Do Not Disturb Settings

DND modes may be blocking notifications.

On Your Phone:

Open Settings Modes and Routines (or Do Not Disturb)
If DND is active, add WhatsApp to the exceptions list

On Your Watch:

Swipe down from the watch face
Check if the moon icon (DND) is active
Disable DND or add WhatsApp to exceptions

Reset Bluetooth Connection

If permissions are correct but notifications still don't appear, reset the connection.

On your phone, go to Settings Apps Bluetooth
Tap Storage Clear Cache
Disable Bluetooth on both devices
Restart both phone and watch
Enable Bluetooth and let them reconnect
Re-verify WhatsApp notification settings in Galaxy Wearable

Disable Battery Optimization

Battery optimization may delay or block notifications.

Open phone Settings Apps WhatsApp
Tap Battery and select Unrestricted or Don't optimize
Do the same for Galaxy Wearable app

When to Contact Support

Contact Samsung Support if:

All permissions are correctly configured
Other app notifications work but WhatsApp doesn't
Multiple troubleshooting attempts have failed

Test with Other Apps

If other messaging apps like Telegram or Messages work but WhatsApp doesn't, the issue is specific to WhatsApp permissions rather than watch connectivity.
