Galaxy Watch 4 Facebook Messenger
Jenifer Griffard
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,
Unfortunatelly I updated my Galaxy Watch to the new Tizen 5.5 SW. Since then the Facebook Messenger messages are now in a bubble with white background and black font color on the watch. This is awful!!!! My eyes are not perfect and I can't read the messages well... Is there any way to change this setting back to the original layout where background is black and font color is white and no any bubbles??
I hate Samsung updates, they always ruins something that was good and worked properly...
Please help!!
I switched back to Samsung to get better compatibility with my Galaxy S10e. But I really don't like this purple theme of messenger. The color is just really ugly. Because of this I think I will use the grey-scale mode, and if I won't like that than I will send this watch back and switch back to Huawei. It may sound like I'm too picky, but this purple really frustrates me so bad I might get rid of the watch because of it.
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.
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.
And yet no amount of clicking on the Open Calling Setup does anything either on my Moto365 Gen 2 or my LG V20. There's no speaker on my Moto360 so setting up calling from my watch is illogical. I just say OK Google call such-and-such and that's all I want to do. Can someone at Verizon please give me the ability to dismiss and disable this constant setup message that doesn't do anything for me?
Hey everyone I have a solution! I know it's a bit of a pain, but it's not too bad, if you'll factory reset your smartwatch and let Verizon Messages install itself on the newly reset watch message notifications are INSTANT!
Man, I'm so excited. Messages is such a terrific app with its ability to use the web to send/receive messages or the desktop app, to have this as the limiting factor was really troublesome. I'm so happy I found a solution. Hopefully that works for everyone else here and that helps Verizon's programmers figure out what was wrong and work to a solution so people don't have to reset their smartwatches in the future.
Ironically, this says "compatible smartwatches" and yet given the Moto360 does NOT have a speaker, it's flat out stupid that it harasses me to setup calling on my watch. Yet another bug or design flaw, among the plethora of them, that Verizon has yet to address (or even comment on).
It's important to get this working the way you'd like it to work, TubaOrNOtTuba. Let's roll up our sleeves to find a solution. I see that the developers recently push a 2nd app update for Verizon Messages on February 4th ( =com.verizon.messaging.vzmsgs&hl=en ) . Has this latest been installed?
If so try resetting the app like this: -base-203565/
Note: These are the steps for a Samsung Galaxy. If these steps do not work for you, then let us know the make and model of your device.

Next, I have reset the app. The FACT is this app is trying to setup calling on smartwatches. If you'd bothered to test it you'd have seen it yourself, instead you reply with condescending and inaccurate information and then tell me to do something that you know good and well isn't going to fix anything.
Furthermore, I should have the RIGHT to decide if I wanted to make calls from my watch or not and yet you guys think it is your right to tell me what to do with my watch. Had you asked, "Would you like to setup your watch to make calls" and let me choose NO and have it go away that'd be fine, but as it stands now you just harass me about this. That's unacceptable.
Which is TOTALLY unacceptable. Notice how NO Verizon employees have chimed in after their ridiculous and clearly UNTESTED response FOUR days ago? Clearly they have no clue what's going on and I have to seriously wonder if they have any intention of helping.
