Gear s2 changing notifications styles - Samsung Gear S2

Hi all..
Been using s2 for 2 weeks. Loving it and it's all good until recently..
My whatsapp notifications on the watch changed.
Previously u can see whatsapp sender photo as background. And there are options to reply.. But now all I see is a dark whatsapp logo as background with the received msg and there are No reply options anymore..only have *show on phone* block* clear all*
Anybosy experienced this. I suspect it could be the recent whatsapp update BECAUSE LINE seems to work perfectly.
Please advice.thanks all

[Q] Gear 2 Notification Issue w/ Whatsapp

Hello,
Recently I've been having issues with the notifications on the Gear 2 with Whatsapp+
I had my groups inside the app set to Mute and to not recieve notifications, it worked perfectly until one of the recent updates, which one, I'm not sure.
What happens now is the following:
Whenever I have no group messages I receive notifications from regular chats perfectly displaying who sent the message and the preview of the message BUT .....
Whenever I have unread group notifications (of which I have removed from pushing beyond the app) and a regular message is sent, the gear 2 pops up notification from the GROUP which is muted and notifications turned off.
Its annoying because I have to check who sent the message due to the fact that somehow the group notifications take priority in the preview of the message even though they are turned off..
Its really specific issue and hard to explain, I've searched forums and what not and I've yet to find anyone with this issue. Ive tried reinstalling gear software, resetting to factory settings, turning on/off notifications, installing regular Whatsapp to no avail.
I can't see the message from my contact whenever I have unseen group messages. very friggin frustrating....
Anyone know what causes this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

Notifications don't show correctly

Hi xda,
i'm having this problem since I got my Oneplus One in October 2014.
My notifications don't show correctly like you can see in the pictures attached. This only happens when i have notifications from multiple apps and it even happens in the popup notifications.
Let's say i have one notification but with multiple "entries" (e.g. 5 Whatsapp messages from the same person). The notification is automatically in "expanded mode". Now i get a notification from another app, and all notifications shrink to the size of a "not in expanded mode"-notification and they somehow screw up like in the pictures.
Does anybody else have this problem? I'm on 05Q, but as i said, this problem isn't ROM depend as far as i know. It isn't theme dependent either, as i've already tried it with different/no themes applied. I hope you can help me
Best regards, bannix
edit: huh, I forgot to link the images:

Gear 2 only displays preview to notification in stock Messaging app

Hey guys,
As the title says, I'm unable to get previews to messages on my Gear 2 anymore. I used to have a Note 3 which worked perfectly with it, all apps displayed a brief preview when the notification pops up on screen of who messaged me / what was said. Since I've upgraded to the Note 5, I was initially only able to get the previews on things like Instagram posts and Facebook notifications / messages, and only on the stock messaging app. In the last couple of days I've had nothing but the stock messaging app work with previews - everything else is just an empty notification.
I've tried resetting the Gear, uninstalling and reinstalling the Gear Manager app, leaving all settings as default, removing phone lock, enabling and disabling preview settings on both phone and watch... nothing has worked.
Has anybody else had issues similar to this? Could it have something to do with upgrading to Lollipop? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Notifications history and Buddy app

Hi all, I got my Gear S2 3 days ago, and i wonder why i get only the last notification on my Gear S2.
For example: I got someone BBM me with 3 line of message, all messages are into my gear s2 notification, but when i check the notification menu there is only the last message from that contact. Is this normal? Can i change it to show all messages i recieved?
It will better if the buddy app on S2 can send message to social media like bbm or line, etc..
Please Developer make it happen on next update.

It is normal to show the last message in notifications. However, you can go to the message app (if available) and it'll list all of them, at least when using samsung devices. Can't remember on others.

Too bad it doesn't show all the chats, i have gear S too and it show all the notifications i recieved. OOw c'mon..Downgrade feature again samsung..
All you have to do is touch the notification and it jumps you into the text conversation, where you can then scroll back and see earlier ones.

I didn't try yet with text messages, but i used bbm app.
There is no earlier ones, when the multiple message come in from 1 contact (from bbm app, it show me the muliple messages on screen, but if i missed to read it then i just can see it in notification(swipe left on screen) but it only show 1 last message from that contact. So if i dont read the earlier message in my gear S2 how could i reply them. especially when i'm in remote conection via wifi.
It's only pulling in whatever is on your pull down notification on the phone. If the notification is not from an app that has on board gear app( like text), I think you are out of luck.

No whatsapp notifications!

Yesterday i realized that my gear s2 classic is not showing me notifications from whatsapp.... I had an update to the watch few days ago but im not sure if it's related.
I checked the notifications settings on the gear app and the whatsapp is checked.
Any one?
What phone do you have? sometimes, depending on the phone model, notifications can take a while to show up..
Or maybe you don't check notifications permiss of samsung gear app..
