Facebook Messenger For Galaxy Watch 5
Fidelia Boldul
I bought this ***** called Galaxy Watch 4, because I thought if it has android then my regular apps will work on it. Just to realize that basically a 30 EUR Chinese noname fitness band gives you more than this useless pieces of *****. Because the 30 EUR chinese noname fitness band usually shows your notifications from Facebook messenger, Signal, Instagram, but this sophisticated piece of Samsung technology is apparently incapable of doing that.
Does someone have any idea if there is any way to get your Facebook messenger or Signal notifications on it? Or I will return it and get the 30 EUR Chinese fitness band, because that seems smarter than this thing.
Still I cannot pickup calls from FB Messengers, or Signal. Only Whatsapp calls can be picked up through the watch. If the notification arrives in time, but usually there is a delay of 5-10 minutes. Despite of the fact that my galaxy wearable app is on all the time and ate up 10 percent of the battery of my S21 ultra.
If yours is anything like mine the notifications did not come whilst wearing the watch but when you removed the watch the notifications all arrived.... So now my watch is in the service center either being fixed or replaced...
My Galaxy Watch 4 "Classic" has worked out of the box with FBmessenger. Even the messenger calls. My wife's Galaxy Watch 4 has not worked even after the options were selected. Would it have something to do with mine being the large Classic version?
Hi - I have just got my Galaxy Watch 3, bluetooth version, and I have a setup problem. Although I can get it to notify me of a Messenger message, it tells me to open the message on my phone - it won't let me read the message on the watch. Help! WhatsApp seems to work fine, I can read messages and reply to them. I have set both Facebook and Messenger to send notifications to the watch in the Wearable app on my phone - what else do I need to do?
Having the same issue but in my case I used to be able to reply from my active 2 watch but that ability has vanished with the only option to open on phone. Like yourself, WhatsApp and text messages work fine but FB messenger I now can't even see the message let alone reply any more. Have tried to speak to live help but they're always busy.
I am having the same issue. Hoping for an update that fixes it soon. I haven't tested yet...but maybe shutting off messanger notifications temporarily will help for now. You won't see facebook messages on your phone though. :(
Thanks, you saved me time and frustration trying to find where to turn this off. Messenger is worthless on the watch anyway, wouldn't even use it except for video chatting with my elderly mom's facebook portal.
The recent update (5 days ago) to Facebook messenger, no longer lets you Landscape mode conversations. I need to do this for work on my Iphone. All previous editions allow this. I don't think there is a way I can go back to older version of this app, it won't let me.
That drives me nuts with these phones. I love them, but if you have an issue and you are a power user, you're screwed. It would be nice if I could someone put the version back on from 2 weeks ago, that does work. This is only time where an android wouldn't have this issue.
I did send a message to facebook/meta. All you can do is send a bug report/feature. I'm only (1) person though. There should be an easy way to revert back to older version app. These things drive me crazy. Then I saw this, which says you can, but you need to pay for program
I use it for work and much easier when using keyboard with iphone when on the go. It's existed until this update happened! Again, it's possible it was mistake. I hope some of you can report it also to help me out. Would love if someone had copy saved of an older version. Argh
I don't recall Messenger ever working in Landscape mode. But if it did in a previous version, Messenger changed it, not Apple. Apple doesn't own the Messenger app. Meta does and it would be up to Meta to code their app to orient in landscape mode. Contact them and see if they plan to permit this. Apple can't change it on a 3rd party application.
Meta owns Facebook, Messenger and Instagram, so yes, they are the same. It's all under the parent company, Meta. Again whether you could use Messenger in landscape doesn't matter at this point. You can't now. And again, that's on Meta, not Apple.
Apple isn't obligated to say in their release notes what a 3rd party application may have done with their app. It's their app. Not Apple's app. You don't know if Meta also removed the ability to use their app in landscape on Androids as well. They certainly might have. I've never owned, nor will I ever own an Android.
Hi! My Fitbit versa device can't receive call from Facebook messenger app though it can receive text messages and missed call notification from messenger app. But my husband's ionic can receive call from both phn and Facebook messenger app simultaneously. Is the versa is not capable of receiving call from Facebook messenger app or it's only my versa device problem?
@Mumtahena, first of all, I sincerely apologize for the delay in the response. I appreciate you have provided many details about this situation and for letting us know you have already tried to troubleshoot this issue on your side. At this moment, I would like to ask you to please try the following:
Versa OS is firmware version 32.33.1.30. Messenger notification on in Fitbit app. That's why versa can receive messenger's text messages and missed call notification but can't receive ongoing call . After the call has ended it just shows the missed call notification.
I have Samsung note 8 with android version 8 which I believe to be latest. In Fitbit app notification setting there is only one option for call and that is phone call whether for text message notification there are 2 option . One is phn message and the other is for messenger. In my Fitbit app phn message is primary text messaging app. On app notification in Fitbit app messenger app is ticked on. Let me know is there anything that I am doing wrong.
Yes messenger calls shows up on the phone screen while phone screen is locked. I have checked phone notifications too. I do not understand what you mean by 3 option for call in android phn. In which setting I should check for this.
I have checked all notification setting in my phone apps and also in Fitbit app. So , what is wrong that incoming call in facebook messenger app is not showing on versa while it can receive missed call and messages notification from the same app.
Hello @MarcoGFitbit thank you for your reply. I contacted Fitbit customer service regarding this issue and they told me that unlike ionic, versa is not capable of receiving Facebook messenger app call but it can receive message notification from messenger app. Is there any one using versa can assure me about this issue. My question is versa capable of receiving messenger app call
I have not received any notifications on my versa since I had it in airplane mode when flying last week. I have done the solution that you posted but I'm still not receiving notifications. Any other suggestions?
Check notification setting on versa watch . Press left button for few second scroll down you will find notification setting on watch too. Just check whether it's on or off. Also check notification setting on Fitbit app on your phn. On Fitbit app go to the watch setting > notifications > touch the three dot on upper right > check whether notification is enable/ disable> then press send test call > if the watch is capable of receiving test call then it should be able to receive any notification send from the phn via Fitbit app. If it's not working you can also chat with their customer care directly for trouble shooting. On Fitbit app go to the watch setting > touch 3 dot on upper right > help.
