Hello, in front of me I have a Huawei Watch GT Runner and I'm gonna show you how to enable
0:12
the phone notifications for this watch on the Android phone. Before we start, if you want to enable the notifications for this watch, your watch needs
0:23
to be paired with a phone via the Huawei Health application. Once the devices are paired, we can continue
0:31
And now we need to make sure that the required permissions are allowed for the notifications
0:35
to work. To do it, find the Huawei Health application icon, then press and hold on it to open the
0:42
menu and then tap on the info icon right here to open the app info
0:48
Now tap on the permissions category and as you can see, here we have the two categories
0:54
allowed and denied. Allowed, basically the permissions on this list are allowed for the application and on
1:01
denied they're denied. Now we need to allow a couple of permissions for the notifications to work
1:07
We need to allow the call logs, contacts, phone and SMS. So let's allow them
1:13
Call log allow, go back, contacts allow, go back, phone allow, go back and SMS allow and
1:24
go back. Once the required permissions are on the allowed list, we can close this, open the settings
1:31
on our phone and settings. Let's tap on the apps and notifications, tap on the advanced, scroll down, select the option
1:42
called special app access. Here find the option called notification access and tap on it
1:51
And as you can see, we have the list of applications. Select the health application, tap on the switch next to allow notification access
2:00
then tap on allow and now we can close the settings. So once we allow the required permissions, we can open the Huawei Health application
2:10
on our phone. In the application, we can tap on devices icon, select our watch GT runner from the list
2:20
Here we can scroll down, tap on the notifications option and right here we can enable the notifications
2:27
by tapping on the switch like this. And now the notifications are enabled and we can enable and disable the notifications
2:35
for specific apps as you can see by tapping on the switch next to them
2:40
You can also enable the option that you will receive the notifications on your watch when
2:45
the screen is unlocked on your phone. So I'm going to enable it, but if you don't want to receive the notifications on your
2:52
watch when the screen on your phone is turned on, you can disable it and it won't receive
2:58
the notifications. Okay. Once you're done customizing your settings, you can close the app and at this point you
3:04
should be able to receive the notifications. I'm just going to open a Discord on another device and send myself a message on Discord
3:13
just to test it. So let's send the message. And as you can see, I have the notification on my phone, but for some reason we didn't
3:32
receive it. No, we did. We did receive it on the watch. For some reason it didn't appear on the screen, but when we open the notifications menu, we
3:39
have the notification. Let's clear it and try again. I'm going to type a message
3:53
Let's close this. Okay. And open the notifications
4:03
For some reason it doesn't show you on the screen. You have no indication that the notifications arrived, but you get them right here
4:11
Maybe because the Do Not Disturb mode is enabled on the phone. No, it's not. Weird
4:18
Anyway, as you can see, the watch is receiving the notifications from your phone. Okay
4:26
And that's how you enable the phone notifications for this device on the Android phone
