One of the great benefits of wearing a smart ‘wearable’ or ‘wearable’ device is that it allows you to see what is happening on the phone without taking it out of your pocket. Read the last WhatsApp message, find out if email is important or know who is calling without picking up your phone: displaying notifications while watching or tracking work saves a lot of time and distractions. However, it is not always easy to set up alerts because the system puts in place more than one trip. Let’s see what they are and how we can avoid them.
Access to smartwatch app notifications
It doesn’t matter what type of device it is, whether it’s a Samsung smartwatch, a Huawei watch or a Xiaomi Mi Band: all apps that handle these devices I need access to mobile notifications. This is important to show them on the wrist: if the app does not have permission to read notifications, they will never reach your watch or band.
The ‘wearable’ control app usually requests access to notifications when you configure the device for the first time. In the event that you did not give consent to the program, or if you do not know if you have approved it, do the following:
- Access your Android settings.
- Go to ‘Applications’.
- Click on the three menu items and select ‘Special Access’.
- See the ‘Access notifications’ menu: when you press, you’ll see all applications that have requested access to phone notifications.
- Use your smart watch or activity bracelet in the ‘Access notifications’ list. In case you do not have permission, give them. And if you already have it, your problem with notifications would not be this.

Activate your favorite notifications
You may have made notifications for your smartwatch or band app and that it is no longer used for battery usage, but not for this reason notifications will reach you: it is more common in your favorite apps not currently authorized. You can check it from your ‘wearable’ application:
