I just got a gear s2, I'm using a s7 and did the updates . Initially everything worked perfect. After the update I get notifications that I have a new fb messenger message but it doesn't show me the message or give me the option to reply. I'm looking it here, please tell me I'm just missing something! Thanks guys.

From my experience, you can go to the notification and then tap the 3 dot menu and in there will be the reply button. It is pretty stupid but when you do that it does work. Also if you have messenger lite (which you probably aren't) then you cannot reply at all.

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.

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.
hello everyone
im new to the forum but didnt find any related existing thread on it so i decided to post, im the happy owner of a gea s2 classic and so far im very happy with it, just have 2 issues:
-notifications from twitter show correctly, and i see the actions if i click the 3 little dots: reply, retweet and favorite, however when selecting any of those, it show "error!", thefore not letting me do anything with these notifications, even though the options are here. reply options work well for every other notifications where they are allowed (whatsapp, email, messenger, etc)
- i cannot seem to make s voice understand punctuation when dictating a message:when i say "coma", or "period", it liteally writes down the word instead of writting the signs, any tips?
thanks for any help!
first, how did you get the twitter notifications to the watch?

well i went to my gear manager app and selected the apps that i wanted to get notifications from and started receiving twitter notifications, when you open the 3 little dots on the notification it gives you the reply, retweet and favorite that tweet that you are being notified of, but when selecting any of these options, it gives "error" message, so why are the actions for twitter notifications enabled if they dont actually work, samsung support is no help...
I'm having the exact same issue with Twitter notifications and of course Samsung Support is of no help. I see the options to reply, favorite, re-tweet, etc. but it always fails.
Solutions?
Wondering if anyone has a fix for this, Samsung support is something to be desired. There brilliant idea and only solution is to reset the the watch. Which was a waste of time and did not fix the problem. It's it a settings issue? Thanks
When I receive a WhatsApp message, I can see the message and read it,
but I cant reply to it vwith the Gear S2, it only shows me the option "open on phone"
Does any one know if this is a bug or is it because I dont have a Samsung phone?
It is not a bug. Even witch Samsung phone it is not straightforward.
Look at the app Chat Hub, it does allow you to answer WhatsApp and other social services. It is not free though...

So the only way to get it work without a Samsung Smartphone is to download that App?
The most recent Whatsapp update did something to gear s2. Now I don't see the "read more" icon. Sigh..
That's more than Handcent will do. If I get a message in handcent, the watch just displays a message to check phone. Doesn't show the message, or who its from or give us a way to reply to it. I've written to handcent and they have completely ignored me. I have since quit using handcent and went back to the stock messaging app.

I have the same problem, help please.
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?

You have to use the samsung mail app on your phone.
I have the new Huawei smartwatch w2 (coming together with P10) and when I say the command "send a whatsapp message to xxxxx" it never recognizes the contact who I want to send the message. The system always is asking "who" again and again. It seems to not recognize the contact.If I say "send an email to xxxx" (same person) or a simple sms or call it works fine.
Also if I reply whatsapp notification, there is not an error, it seems fine , but the answer never is sent through whatsapp
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
whatsapp
Hi.
I got same offer.
You can recive whatsapp in the watch but no send any.
I use Skype or Hangouts to have conversations with my people.
I will come back always here to change information about my use daily with the watch.
Bye

"We provide notifications for Android Wear. We do not, however, have a dedicated Android Wear app. If you are unable to receive notifications on your watch, please try all troubleshooting steps on our FAQ."
Thats the answer from Whatsapp. Really not what i wanted to hear.

Today i tried saying "send whatsapp message to XXX" and it asked me for the message and it went thru successfully.
I'm using the HW2 BT version
I'm having the same problem, my hw2 get stuck asking for the contact.
How did you solve it?
Use wear messages for WhatsApp and Facebook messenger. You will be able to respond that way.
So the trending theme here seems to be pronunciation of contact names. I noticed that most people posting to this thread seem to have english as a second language and from what I can tell, you are attempting to send the message in english. Try and speak the contact name slower, this will allow Android Assistant to learn the contact name easier over time since the name possibly sounds different when pronounced with an accent.
Watch faces
The problem, at list in my case resolve just changing the watch face that supports it. The once that I tried are the once with the "setting" icon. I'm using the Huawei watch 2 sport with the official watch face, the one on the demo.
