Not from what I have read about it so far. I believe it has the same notification system as the original gear, which means I am just hoping it will give me my work Outlook emails on the watch, which stopped working after the latest update

I was able to recieve pics via MMS, unable to send any at the moment. Share button is shaded out.
As for emails. Still havent been notified through the watch and cant send anything as of today.
Update: (Some) emails come through but only text shows up. Still can't send or forward.

I'm not sure I understand the question but my boss sends me pics all the time on his touch pro through picture mail and it comes as a regular MMS.
Sometimes it takes an entire day for me to actually receive it but it does work for the most part..

I don't use Whatsapp... and I actually dispute some of the info in that article (Hangouts works just as good as FB Messenger and Whatsapp from what I understand)... but I think I can clear up the confusion.
On the Gear S2 there is no Whatsapp app available to download and use. However, when you get a notification for Whatsapp on your watch you can still view the message in your notifications window and reply to the message with an emoji, a dictated reply, or a typed out message.
What it comes down to ultimately meaning, you can reply to messages, you can not initiate them.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, as I've said before, I do not use Whatsapp.

Has anyone noticed that sometimes when receiving an image on Whatsapp, the notification shows the image on the watch, but not always.
What gives?

For me it never shows, but the person pic profile sometimes shows, others don't
Hi,
I noticed the same thing on my gear S2, wherein the images show up sometimes but not always.. the same for the person's display picture as well..
Any fix to this??
There's a problem with the WhatsApp notifications, it only shows the last message for each person, instead of each and every message.

One can get WhatsApp notifications and even reply from Gear S2 but not start a session from Gear S2 or any gear at all. There is no app like the messenger app.

I had the similar problem when you get msgs continuously from WhatsApp and you are replying to the old msg. If you reply to last msg it would work.

Once you receive a whatsapp message on the S3 and read it, it's gone. So you can't reply again unless you receive another message.
There is a very good app called notification wear which you can get from the play store.
When you receive a message, it stores it.Even when you delete a whatsapp message it still stores the person who sent the message so you can reply at anytime.
You can setup which message apps you want to receive like facebook, Viber, gmail and so on.
You get 20 free messages after that you need to pay for the premium app. it's only £1.70 and worth it.

Same here, sometimes the photo is viewable but most of the time it just shows a photo attachment.
Found the 'bug'

Hey,
After a few tests I think that i found the issue.
It seems that only PNG files are able to show up in a notification of whatsapp on the Gear S3.
Yust had contact with Samsung to report this.

S3 Gear email

Hi
Got a shiny new S3 gear connected to my Samsung S6 Edge. The emails are confusing me a little and I have a couple of querstions.
I have more than one account on Gmail. I believe there isnt a Gmail app but the notifications do come through. Now, here is the question. How do I read my emails from the Stock email app? I can see them, but I cant open and read the content. I can only see the header and subject. Same applies to Whatsapp. Is there an app planned?
Also, will i receive notifications from Slack?
I hope you guys can help.
thanks
If I am not mistaken, what you are seeing is the notification that you received the email. If you tap the screen, you should go to the email app on the watch and be able to read and respond to the email if necessary.
Thanks. you are correct. However, what I am after is how to read email from the stock email app without going through the notification. Any ideas?
