Hi all,
I just took delivery of my new Gear S3 and had a couple of questions if someone could kindly point me in the right direction.
1. If I get a Whatsapp notification on my Gear S3 and the notification has an image attachment, is there any way I can view this on my Gear S3?
2. If I view the Whatsapp notification on my smartphone it is removed from my Gear S3, how do I view the last message again on the Gear S3?
Thank you,
Mark
1) Search for "Image Viewer 4 WhatsApp" in Gear App Store
2) Search for "WHistory" in Gear App Store
Unfortunately it's not possible without third party apps.

Hi
I have the Samsung Gear S3 and a Samsung Galaxy S7 and when my S7 is locked it won't send/push messages (particularly whatsapp messages) to my Gear S3. I have the show content on plus notifications on the Gear on for whatsapp. Not sure if anyone else has come across this as well.
Any advice to fix this would be helpful.
Thanks
Amy

I currently use Sony Smartwatch 3 and Im planning to buy the Gear S2 and Im using moto x pure edition. Anyone got the same device with S2 paired on it? Hows your overall experience so far?
Im a bit concerned about the apps and notifications. Does it really show the notifications whenever it arrives on the phone? Im interested about the following app:
Whatsapp, Viber, Fb Messenger
I mainly use these app will it show notifications on the watch? Can I reply to these apps via watch?
Spotify
Can I press back or next & volume up and down just like I can with the Android Wear? Does it show the title of the song and the album art?
Phone Dialer
As we know Samsung is using their own dialer but in my case I have the AOSP dialer came default, if ever someone will call will I be able to swipe answer or reject from watch?
Calendar
As we know samsung has its own Calendar app, will I be notified with the Google Calendar showing the details and etc or the calendar reminder?
Textra
As we know samsung is using their own SMS app, but Im using Textra will or will the watch be able to detect that I got a message and I can read and reply via watch?
Gmail
As we know samsung is using their email app, will gmail be notified and the watch can detect that ita an email and Icam reply via watch?
I know there are other things that are not included here and if anyone can mention it please do.
Thanks!

I have a moto x pure edition as well, and haven't had any issues with notifications at all yet. Even in remote connection mode.
One thing to keep in mind, you can't put milk music on the watch since you don't have a Samsung phone.
Every thing I see says I should have a message and email app but I don't. I have a LG V10. Could that be the problem? I am getting notifications on a hit and miss bases.
Yes. The email and messages app is only present with a Samsung phone and the only work with the corresponding Samsung apps. You should receive notifications from Gmail or textra just fine. Maybe it helps to install Android Wear aß well.
if no message app, how to reply message? can only get notification?
Hi
I have a galaxy S5 and gear S2, but the same problem. Does it work with S5 ?
Same problems with Huawei Ascent Mate 7.
No messages and mail apps on circle.
But when notifications come, you can reply, or show the messages lists easily by pressing reply. Same if you use Textra, GoSms, Whatsapp.....
Same here with Huawei mediapad x2. But I can still write message to someone by browsing to their number on Buddies app

Same problem on Nexus 6
Got no email or message app in the circle. can send messages from buddy screen but not receiving ANY notifications.
Not getting anything from GMail, Yahoo Mail, Whatsapp or hangouts. Is the Gear S2 better suited to Samsung phone? if so might have to consider sending back for refund.
Any ideas how to get notifications for ANY Apps
?

In Samsung Gear Manager there is Notifications (2nd option). In there you find a list of apps for which you have enabled notifications.

Guys i answer tour questions because i try to use my s2 classic with a samsung s4 and with lg g3 ; every time that the s2 is paried with a new smartphone (samsung or not), you must do the restoration of data (partial or total) . If you pair with a samsung galaxy the sms will be upload , with an other the app will be not upload . The same thing with other app or options . The solution ? Buy a galaxy used only for these like me ?

I think it's cheaper to change the watch than get another Samsung device just so to pair it with your watch [emoji6]

Hi everyone! I want to buy a smartwatch for my xiaomi redmi note 4x. The main feature for me is notifications. I would like to see, read and answer my emails and others. I would like if one person send me several messages i can read and see all of them (not only their number). Help me please, what would be better for me: huawei watch or samsung gear s3? Thanks!
I owned gear s3 (non-lte version)
You can't reply to WhatsApp message by record.
Typing is very bad...(too little letters).
You can't load WhatsApp window and see chat.
There is no WhatsApp app on "tizen store".
You can't send message trough WhatsApp but if you get message you can reply just to the one who sent the message.
Any specific question you want me to check?
I used Huawei with Wear 1 and I use Gear S3 now. Both on the same Samsung S7.
First question to be asked considering Gear S3 - is your language supported by S Voice?
If not - you're out of voice reply - like me speaking unsupported Hebrew.
I am not suffering a lot from absence of voice recognition, since Google Hebrew recognition was horrible any way.
Otherwise, I operate without any problem on S3: Email, SMS, Whatsapp and Viber.
Of course, answering using watch keyboard is a bit tricky, like SMS on an old Nokia.
Hey there,
as a user of both Gear S3 and LG Watch Urbane I've made a surprising discovery.
Namely, when you have Android Wear installed on your phone, some apps gets a functionality boost on your Gear S3
You can e.g. reply to Hangouts messages (via the notification) on the GearS3 directly from the smartwatch, using keyboard, smileys or voice input!!!
Without the AW app on your phone you could only click reply/show message in the GearS3 notification which caused a trigger action on your phone -- you could not reply directly from your smartwatch
Note:
Do not try to configure your GearS3 with the AW app, it won't work. Just install the app, run it and when it asks to configure your smartwatch just exit it.
This has been discussed in the past (some thread somewhere here) but nice to have a reminder.
well I couldn't find it and therefore added it here
I'm new to the Gear series so really appreciate this tip OP! Cheers! ?

Thanks for this will try.
Interestingly i use Android Auto and could not reply to WhatsApp, someone mentioned installing Hangouts, e voila works near perfect now.
Does this allow Google maps notifcations from the phone to gear S3?

Yes

This was very useful for me as well! Thanks!
I can reply to Hangouts messages on the Gear S3 withOUT having Android Wear installed, but will double check.
With yes, without no

Sorry I typoed, I can reply to Google Hangouts messages withOUT Android Wear installed...just did it.
Wouldn't work with S-Voice but canned replies and drawing letters worked.
I am on a Oneplus 3T
Maybe they changed something... It didn't work a month ago on my s7
I've only had my Gear S3 a few days, but it is working. Pretty sure I did a reply in Allo too yesterday.
Do you know what are the Android wear apps compatible with the Samsung Gear ?
On my side, I have discovered the very good "WearMail for Android Wear" app which works perfectly with the Samsung Gear watches.
This Wearmail app is very interesting as you can configure all type of email accounts including Office 365 accounts and it sends the content of the received mails to your watch via notifications. Very good.

hi there
i am in a search of a smartwatch be it android or no hesitating between the gear s3 and huawei watch 2
my main use is the ebay app ( being a seller i need to be on that app to see my sales details etc), viber and whatsapp
i have just a few questions, from all the reviews on youtube few forum here and there i understand that :
- there is no official app of ebay for the gear s3? means i will get notification of a sale but wont be able to check the app on my watch as there no tizen ebay app?
-same for viber and whatsapp, as far as i understand, there is again no official app for viber and whatsapp meaning cant take a call or make a call from my watch, i will just get notification
if someone can help me regarding this?
i was thinking if all was true, that mean the gear s3 is just to received notifications??? it would be a bit pricey just to get notification about an app and no real app management from the watch itself
if someone could guide me regarding the usafe of the gear s3 before i buy it
thank you
Chose Huawei smart watch 2 .you will never get Viber call or Messenger full history messaging in Gear s3.
