Galaxy Watch Ultra WhatsApp Notification Spam

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

If your Galaxy Watch Ultra keeps repeating the same WhatsApp notification or you're getting duplicate alerts, this is a known bug that Samsung has acknowledged but not fully resolved.

Understanding the Bug

WhatsApp notifications may repeat, duplicate, or spam your watch due to syncing issues between the watch and phone apps.

Duplicate Alerts: Same message notification appearing multiple times
Delayed Sync Flood: A week's worth of messages syncing all at once
Group Message Issues: Group chats particularly prone to notification spam
Battery Drain: Constant notifications significantly drain battery

Known Bug Status

Samsung acknowledged this bug in October 2024 and promised a fix. As of January 2025, some users still report issues, though updates have improved the situation.

Solution 1: Update WhatsApp on Watch

WhatsApp released a WearOS update specifically addressing notification issues.

Open Play Store on your watch
Search for WhatsApp
If an update is available, install it
Restart your watch after updating

Solution 2: Reinstall WhatsApp on Watch

A fresh installation often resolves persistent notification bugs.

On your watch, go to Settings Apps WhatsApp
Select Uninstall
Restart your watch
Open Play Store and reinstall WhatsApp
Log in and configure notifications fresh

Solution 3: Configure Notification Settings

Fine-tune WhatsApp notification categories.

On your watch:

Go to Settings Apps WhatsApp Notifications
Review each notification category
Disable categories you don't need (like group notifications)
Ensure "Allow notifications" is properly configured

On your phone:

Open Galaxy Wearable app
Go to Watch settings Notifications
Find WhatsApp and configure sync settings
Try disabling then re-enabling WhatsApp notifications

Solution 4: Remove WhatsApp from Watch Entirely

If notifications are unbearable, you can still reply from notifications without the watch app.

Uninstall WhatsApp from your watch
Keep WhatsApp notifications enabled in Galaxy Wearable
You'll still receive notifications on your watch
You can reply to incoming messages, but can't start new chats

Reply Still Works

Even without WhatsApp installed on your watch, you can reply to incoming message notifications. You just won't be able to browse chats or start new conversations.

Root Cause: Message Sync Backlog

Some users report the spam occurs after not using WhatsApp on the watch for a while.

Sync Backlog: Multiple days of messages sync simultaneously
Group Messages: Groups with high activity cause the most spam
Fix: Open WhatsApp on watch regularly to prevent backlog buildup

Disable Specific Group Notifications

If one group is causing the spam:

Open WhatsApp on your phone
Open the problematic group chat
Tap the group name at the top
Select Mute notifications
This stops the group from spamming your watch

When Nothing Works

If the issue persists after all solutions:

Report to Samsung: Submit feedback via Galaxy Wearable Support
WhatsApp Feedback: Report in WhatsApp Settings Help Contact Us
Monitor Updates: Keep both apps updated as fixes continue to roll out

Wait for Updates

This is an acknowledged bug with ongoing fixes. Keep your watch firmware, WhatsApp, and Galaxy Wearable app updated for the latest improvements.
