Welcome. In front of me I have Garmin for a runner 955 and I'm going to show you how to enable the phone notifications for this watch on the iPhone
0:10
Basically if you want to receive the notifications from the iPhone. Before we start, if you want to receive the notifications from the iPhone on the watch, your watch needs to be paired with an iPhone via the Garmin Connect application
0:27
Once the devices are paired together, we can. together we can continue
0:31
And now we need to make sure that the required permissions are allowed for the Garmin Connect
0:35
application to send the notifications to our watch. To do it, let's open the settings on our iPhone
0:42
In settings, let's scroll down. Scroll down to the list of applications
0:47
And on this list, find the Garmin Connect. It's right here. Tap on it
0:55
And here, make sure that the Bluetooth option is enabled. this one
1:00
Also, you can tap on notifications and enable the allow notifications right here
1:05
Once you enable both options, go back to settings, scroll all the way up
1:11
tap on the Bluetooth option. Here, you should see the forer-runner 955-955 on the list of my devices
1:21
Next to it you should see the info icon tap on it to enter And here make sure that the share system notifications is enabled This option needs to be enabled
1:31
Once it is, you can close the settings, and now we can open the Garmin Connect application on our iPhone
1:39
In the application, we can tap on more, scroll down, tap on Garmin devices, select our 4-er-R-R-R-R-Nine 555 from the list
1:50
And here on this page, scroll down, find the option called Notifications and Alerts
1:58
Tap on it and then tap on Smart Notifications. And right here we have during an activity and general use
2:06
During activities basically when you're tracking activity or recording the activity like running, stuff like that
2:12
basically cycling and stuff like that, like I said. General use is when you're not recording the activity
2:20
basically. So all other uses besides the activity and during activities specifically for the activity
2:29
Okay, so first let's tap on during activity. And here we can customize how the notifications will
2:34
behave when you're recording the activity on your watch. And you can enable the notifications or
2:40
disable them. You can tap on calls and select what will happen if you get the notification about
2:46
calls and you can enable them or disable them You can enable the sound for it the tone or disable it or enable or disable the vibration And the same we have the for the texts
3:00
Again, we can enable or disable them, enable or disable the tone or vibration, and the apps
3:07
We can also customize it for apps. Okay, and once you're done, go back to the notifications and tap on general use
3:13
and here we have more options, basically we can enable or disable them
3:19
We can change the settings for the calls, text messages and apps, right
3:26
We can also tap on privacy, and here we can select a press start or gesture
3:35
And we have also timeout. So here we can select how quickly the notification will disappear from the screen
3:41
And you have short, medium or long. So select the duration you like
3:45
And once you're done customizing the notification settings, you can close the application
3:50
And at this point, you should be able to receive the notifications on your watch. So I'm going to send myself a message on Discord
4:00
Let me see, actually, if I have Discord on this phone. I should have
4:10
Okay. Okay So we have the Discord I going to send myself a message
4:22
For some reason, we didn't get them on our iPhone. Maybe let's try
4:29
Okay, let's try turning on the focus and turning it off. And try again
4:42
Okay, now we got it. It took a while. But as you can see, we have the notification on our iPhone and also on our watch
4:50
We can read it right here. We can remove it by tapping on the up button
4:55
We can also open the notifications menu by pressing the up or down buttons on the current watch face on the home screen
5:06
And you can scroll through the list of glances and one of them should be called notifications. Once you select it, you can press the start-slash-stop button to enter
5:14
and here you will have notifications listed, basically, the ones that you didn't read
5:19
Okay, and basically that's how you enable default notifications for this watch on the iPhone
