Welcome in front of me I have Garmin Epex Gen 2
0:10
and I'm going to show you how to enable and disable the phone notifications for this watch on the Android phone
0:17
Before we start, your watch needs to be paired with your phone via the Garmin Connect application
0:24
Once the devices are paired, we need to make sure that the required permissions are allowed
0:29
permissions are allowed for the Garmin Connect application. To do it, find the Garmin Connect application icon, press and hold on it
0:38
Most the menu appears, tap on the app info. And here we have category called permissions
0:44
Tap on it. And as you can see, we have only one allow. But we need to allow more of them
0:50
Basically, we need to allow permission for the calendar, call logs, contacts, phone and SMS
0:57
To do it, simply tap. on the permission you want to allow
1:01
tap on allow, and then you can go back. So let's allow the rest of them
1:10
That. So once you allow the required permissions
1:20
you have it, you can close this menu. Now we need to check if the notification access
1:27
is allowed for the garment. connect the application to do it we need to open settings let's open the settings in settings
1:34
we need to tap on apps and notifications select advanced now scroll down tap on special app access Here we need to find the option called notification access
1:53
Tap on it, find the Garment Connect application on the list. Here we have it
1:58
As you can see, it says not allowed. So let's tap on it, tap on Allow, notification access, or rather switch next to it
2:07
it then tap on allow and once it's allowed you can go back and close the settings
2:14
okay so now we have all of the required permissions allowed for the notifications to work
2:20
so we can open the Garmin Connect application open the device page for our epics gen 2 we can
2:29
tap on this icon right here to open it if you don't see this icon you can tap on this icon to
2:34
open the menu Waugh scroll down tap on and carmen devices, and you can select your epics
2:44
And here we have the device page for our epics gen 2. Now select the option called notifications and alerts
2:51
tap on smart notifications, and here we can customize our notification options
2:56
Basically, we can configure them. We have categories like general use and during the activity
3:02
General use is basically when you're not performing any activity and you're just using your watch
3:07
And during activity, of course, is when you're performing some activity and you're tracking it on your watch
3:13
First, let's tap on general use. And here to enable the notifications make sure that the status is on If it off the notifications will be disabled So that how you can enable or disable the notifications by simply tapping on the switch right here
3:31
Okay, so we enable the notifications, and here we have different types of notifications
3:35
We have calls, text, apps, privacy and timeout. So we can configure the calls, text and apps
3:43
the types of notifications. Basically, we can tap on one, and here we can enable them or disable
3:49
them we can turn on the sound for them or turn it off the sound for them and we can
3:55
turn on the vibration or turn off the vibration for them okay so let's do it for
4:00
the rest so basically we have scalls text text rather and ups and next we have privacy
4:11
option we can tap on privacy and here we have options like off press start and wrist
4:17
gesture. I believe, basically, if you select one of these options, the notifications won't
4:23
appear on the screen immediately, you will need to either press the start button or perform the
4:28
wrist gesture to make them visible. And next we have time out, basically how quickly they
4:34
disappear from the screen. And you have 30 seconds, one minute and three minutes. Select the one
4:39
you like by tapping on it simply like that. Once you've done, configuring the general use
4:46
tap on during activity and you can do the same thing for the activity options
4:52
So now we have the notifications enabled. We have the correct or other required permissions allowed
5:00
So the notifications should work So I going to pick my phone up right here and write the message on the Discord As you can see we got the notification on our phone and also we got it on our watch
5:17
If you missed the notification, you can check the notifications on your watch by waking up the screen on your watch
5:23
You can do it by pressing the light button or performing the wrist gesture
5:27
Once you wake up the screen, you can swipe downwards from the top of the screen
5:31
to open the widget menu or shortcut menu. And here you should find the notifications one
5:37
Tap on it. And here you have the notifications. You can open the notifications
5:43
You can remove them or clear them by swiping left on them like this
5:52
Okay. And to disable the notifications, like I said before, you can simply open the Garmin Connect app
5:58
Go to the device page of your FXGEN 2, notifications and alerts, smart notifications
6:06
and you can simply disable them like that by tapping on the switch
6:13
So now if I write the message on our phone, they should be disabled
6:20
As you can see they don't work. Okay, and that's how you enable and disable the phone notifications for your watch
6:28
on the Android phone. Thank you for watching. If you found this video helpful
