Nope. In order for it to work with non-Samsung devices you need to install Gear Manager and Atb manager apps on your devices, no way to do that with iphone.
Edit: Did a quick search online and someone said they connected it to an iPhone and it did make calls. When you get it try using blutooth and connect it to your iphone.
wont work
The gear 2 arrived and not visible to the iphone but works great with my note 3 maybe there will be a test firmware out soon.

hey guys,
I have a gear 2 neo and a iphone 5s,
when you go on watch and go to settings, bluetooth and select "make device visible" you can pair to an iPhone.
working
make a call with the dialer
iphone ringtone comes through when receiving call
receiving a call.
call logs
contacts
not working
siri
all other apps that communicate with phone so watch-on heart rate and pedometer etc still work.
How were you able to check off the make device visible?
It's grayed out.

disconnect bluetooth from host android device.....

Yep that did it. Works now.
All we need is for samsung to release an app to get the other functions working now.
Wow, hope that happens for you guys - the voice commands are an awesome part of the watch. Not sure if Apple will allow the watch to ever hook into Siri, though. I'm suspecting you may have to wait for Apple to release theirs.

Works indeed on my iPhone 5S, nice
Too bad no other notifications (SMS, Whatsapp, ...) are sent to the iPhone..
Hopefully with a jailbreak tweak? + rooted Gear 2?
So just a quick recap:
The Gear 2 does connect with the iPhone through BT and calling and receiving calls works, as well as contacts and call logs.
Can someone confirm?
guys by know you should know that Apple and samsung have been in lawsuit to one another so no way they have any of there gear to work with iPhone

So Calls and some other functions work, and if you don't have an android device with Bluetooth you can still install gear 2 apps with a computer and the Tizen SDK (adb ripoff) as long as you have the install package

I've only managed to connect by BT to see the number calling you (no contact name), but I can not see the contacts or notifications ... NEED HELP!
got a question for anybody who's watching this thread: when i try to connect my gear 2 to my iphone 5s(jailbroken) it always ask me to factory reset my gear 2 neo. any suggestions as to why it's doing that or any solutions??
It does that whenever you pair to a new device. Is designed to only be paired to one phone so it will reset if that phone changes.

I am facing the exact same problem with my Tizen Gear 1. I have set it up with an android device, but when I try to connect with an iPhone the God damned watch wants to reset itself, so I cannot connect it,
The crazy thing is that I have done it in the past. I have been using my Tizen Gear 1 with my 5S for quite some time, I do not remember having to deal with this error message.
Any help?

Your gear is going to reset every time you repair it. When it goes to the setup connection screen, tap the watch icon in the top left about 20-25 times, it will then show a message at the bottum. After that message disappears hold down on the watch icon until you get to the clock screen. This will activate without connection. Then go to setting>connections>Bluetooth and hit make visible. Your iPhone will show it as 'gear 2 (xxxx) hit that and it will pair. The only thing working so far are the stand alone apps and calling.
I'm having some trouble with by Gear S3.
For some reason, every time someone calls me and I pick up on my phone, the audio comes through the watch which is a bit crazy. If I'm picking up from my phone, I want the audio on it (obviously).
I haven't found a setting that will specify to always use my phone for calls.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I'm on a Moto X Pure.
I had the same problem and this is what I did to fix it.
I did a soft reset on the watch and when it reconnected I went into the Gear app on the phone, Settings, Call Forwarding and hit Turn off.
Make sure it says call forwarding was successfully turned off.

Thats strange.
Maybe your gear software needs to be updated? Also try a hard reset of the watch.
There should also be a call forwarding setting on the watch that will allow you to disable it.
Strange.
This is what I have and I have everything updated :S
Same issue on my pixel. Go to Bluetooth settings on your phone, choose s3 and uncheck phone audio.

well that's a bummer, if the samsung s7 can't make the watch work as a normal smartwatch whats the point...u can't have your watch pickup the audio if your using your phone it's just not normal.
So it has nothing to do whit samsung or non samsung phone it's just dose not work? It's a bug not a defective smartwatche?

Well mine was just a bug I think because after one quick reset I'm up and running g without fault.
I have the same issue you all describe at this thread when I use Gear S3 (Bluetooth edition) with HTC 10.
It happens when I make calls from the phone. Once the other person answer the call, the audio automatically is routed to the watch.
In all other cases the watch works ok. eg. If someone call me and I answer on the phone the audio is not routed to the watch. If I use the watch to make or accept calls, work fine as well.
Did anyone find a solution to this?

Did you manage to solve this?
As I mentioned above I have the same issue with HTC 10.
A possible solution would be to disable the "phone audio" from the bluetooth settings of the device, but in my case this cause the gear s3 to be disconnected from the phone.
It is so annoying.
Hi.
I have my Gear S2 Classic paired with a Galaxy S8 running android oreo, and I will get vibrating notifications for calls and texts, but nothing else.
On my Galaxy S5 it worked great. I really miss vibrating notifications for reminders.
Have any of you experienced this? Can there a setting on the phone or something else I have missed?

I think there is a setting where you choose which apps that gets to send notifications to the watch. Check in the Gear app on the phone.

Yes, and I have checked all apps I want notifications from. And I do get the notifications on the gear S2, it just doesn´t vibrate any more. For calls and texts it vibrates, but not for any other notifications.
Am I the only one having this issue?
Same here, I get notifications without vibration for almost all apps. Calls vibrates, SMS vibrates also (even though I am using Textra and not default app) and even Whatsapp vibrates. Sadly Viber does not and I really need it to.

I´m sorry you have the same issue as me. But at the same time I´m a bit happy that I´m not alone. I use textra for sms just like you. And calls, sms and Whatsapp vibrates for me to. That´s it.
I contacted Samsung support and they suggested a factory reset of the phone. Wich I did last night. Sadly it didn´t do any difference.
Hopefully we will get some help to resolve this soon. I need my notifications on my Gear to work!!!
Yeah, I tried factory as well this morning but no help. Contacted Samsung also, but no reply yet. Sad thing is that it was working fine until like 2 weeks back and suddenly it stopped. No Gmail vibration either. I tried everything I stumbled across, reinstalling Gear app, reseting watch, deleting app data, factory on phone, older versions of Gear app, turning vibration on in the android notification settings for each app. Nothing. I am afraid it has to do with Android itself, because only thing I can remember is some minor android update happening, no Gear updates as far as I can recall.
I did try with different older phone and there it was working fine
Still hope it will came back to life.

Okay quick notice, last thing I could think of - deleted Viber and downloaded older version from like 2 months ago. Now its working for viber. I guess that on Oreo the notifications are handled somehow differently as I can see that in each application the Android can change tons of things (Settings - application - choose any app - Notification)
So probably this is somehow tied to sending vibration to the Gear as well. So the older version of Viber is not yet "integrated" into Oreo notification management and that is why its working. Probably?
As I mostly use Viber, I will stick with the old version as long as its working hoping some other solution will be found in the meantime. Will try to contact Viber team as well.
The last answer I got from Samsung support, after testing their suggestions, was that the only thing I could do was to wait for an update. For the Gear s2 I assume. So for now I´m stuck with this lack of notifications. :crying:

Hi, I have a Xiaomi 10 pro
just updated to MIUI12
ever since then my watch has a "watch" logo on top which means is not not connected to bluetooth.
I have reset the phone's network setting a couple of times.
the watch is also reset.
I have used the Galaxy Wearable to connect the watch. It detected the watch and seems connected (but under bluetooth menu it just saved the watch setting without indicated connected)
the it stuck at the "finishing pairing" page.
Whenever it asked me for permission i either allow it when the apps open or allow it all the time.
but it just stay in that finishing parining page over 20 minutes.
any body faced this problem after updated to MIUI 12?
I am still on Miui 11 but after last security update for June had loads of issues with constant disconnect and errors with Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch.
Gonna get rid of this and get a Mi Band 5.
I know it's totally different device but not using all the functionality currently.

I want to stick to a watch instead of a sport band.
Anybody could hint me?
I have tried to connect the watch to an earbud, it works perfectly fine. quick pairing and working.
however it is just not the case with the phone.
again my phone is pairing perfectly with other devices too like my car, earbud, headset.
As i do workout quite often, all the data are store in the watch and not going to the phone. also it is not uploading to the database when it is already connected to WIFI.
I have the same problem, after MIUI 12 my galaxy gear s3 can't connect to the phone, bluetooth is trying to connect but connection failed.
Tried to factory reset phone and watch - nothing helps.
I have the global rom on my mi 10 pro. I was getting the watch not staying connected. I held down the Galaxy Wearable app, hit info, and turned on auto start, and I've been fine since. Oh, I am using Galaxy Active 1 though, not 2.

Try clear WhatsApp App data, it will reset permissions and it should work again. You'll just have to backup and restore your whatsapp.

Hello everyone, I am not able to receive Whatsapp incoming call notifications from S22 Ultra on my Galaxy Watch 3. The same watch if I pair with my old S20 FE, all notifications are perfectly fine. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling Wearable app on my phone but no use. I even reset my watch several times and setting it up from scratch without restoring any backups. But the problem still persists with S22 U. I checked all settings in Wearable app including notification settings for Whatsapp and all set properly.
Is anyone else having this issue? I there any solution to get whatsapp call notifications?
I found a temporary workaround. Downgrading Watch3 plugin to version 2.2.09.22071151 will bring back the WhatsaApp call notifications.
Please note that if you uninstall watch plugin, it will prompt for resetting watch. So backup your watch settings before proceeding.
Using your work around thanks..
Has it been fixed yet though?
