Welcome! In front of me I have Garmin Venue SQ-MUSIC and I'm gonna show you
0:10
how to enable the phone notifications for this watch on the iPhone. Before we
0:16
start, if you want to enable the phone notifications for this watch, your watch
0:22
needs to be paired with your iPhone via the Garmin Connect application. Once the
0:27
devices are paired, we need to make sure that the required permissions are allowed
0:31
for the notifications to work. So first we need to open the settings on our
0:36
iPhone. In settings we need to scroll down, find the Garmin Connect application
0:44
on the list right here, tap on it and here we need to make sure that a couple of
0:49
things are enabled. Make sure that the Bluetooth is enabled and here it's green
0:55
Then tap on notifications and here make sure that the allow notifications is
0:59
enabled. If it's not, tap on the switch to enable it. You can customize it right
1:04
here. I'm just gonna leave it as default but make sure that the notifications are
1:08
enabled. Once you're done here you can go back to settings, scroll up, tap on the
1:15
Bluetooth settings, find the Venue SQ on the list of devices, tap on the info
1:21
button next to it and here make sure that the share system notifications
1:25
option is enabled. If it's enabled you can close this and now you can open the
1:32
Garmin Connect application on your phone. In the app tap on more right here, scroll
1:41
down, tap on Garmin devices, select your Venue SQ from the list. On this page tap
1:49
on alerts, then tap on smart notifications and here we have a couple
1:57
of options. First option is during activity so basically here you can
2:01
customize the notification settings for your watch if you're recording an activity on your watch. Basically if you're recording your run or swim or
2:10
something like that. Not during activity is when you use your watch normally, you
2:14
don't record any activity and privacy option basically you can customize some
2:18
privacy settings. So let's tap on the during activity first and here we can
2:24
select show all. It will show all types of notifications, called and
2:29
texts only. It will show only calls and texts, calls only and off. Select the
2:34
option you like by tapping on it. Next we have not during an activity
2:39
Select the option you like and privacy option is basically here if you select
2:43
the action you will need to perform some action to view the notifications or
2:49
gesture if you select gesture. Okay once you're done customizing your notification
2:54
settings you should be able to receive them on your watch. So I'm just gonna
3:01
open Discord on my phone and write myself a message on Discord
3:14
As you can see I got the notification on my iPhone and on my watch also so it's
3:20
working. If you miss the notifications on your watch you can swipe up or down on
3:26
the screen after you wake up the screen of course to scroll through the list of widgets and scroll until you find the notification widget and here we have
3:34
the notifications. You can tap on them to read them, we can swipe up them and we
3:39
can clear them, dismiss them and I believe that's about it. Okay and that's
3:46
how you enable the phone notifications for this watch on the iPhone. Thank you
