How to Enable Phone Notifications on Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 with Android

Enabling Phone Notifications on Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025

• 💡 To receive phone notifications on your Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025, ensure it is paired with your Android phone via the Galaxy Wearable application.
• 📌 After pairing, open the Galaxy Wearable app and navigate to 'watch settings', then select 'notifications'.

Granting Notification Access

• ⚠️ If permissions are not yet granted, you will see a popup; tap 'allow' to proceed.
• ⚙️ You'll be directed to a 'notification access' page (which may have a different name depending on your Android skin, like 'notification read reply and control').
• 🔍 Scroll to find the 'Galaxy Watch 7 manager' (or similar), tap the switch to enable notification access, and confirm by tapping 'allow'.

Customizing App Notifications

• 📲 Return to the notifications page in the app and select 'app notifications' to customize which apps can send alerts to your watch.
• ✅ Enabling notifications for an app means alerts will appear on both your phone and watch; disabling them means alerts will only appear on your phone.

Display and Advanced Settings

• ⌚ The 'show phone notifications on watch' option allows you to choose between 'show alerts when phone not in use' or 'show alerts even when phone in use' to control notifications while actively using your phone.
• 🔕 'Mute notifications on phone' will silence alerts on your phone while still allowing them to appear with sound and vibration on your watch.
• 💡 Advanced settings include enabling a notification indicator, choosing to 'read notifications aloud' (briefly or in detail), and automatically showing notification details.
• 🚀 The 'turn on screen saver when notifications receive' option will wake your watch screen upon receiving an alert, and 'auto turn on watch notifications for new phone apps' can automatically enable notifications for newly installed phone apps.

Testing Notifications

• 💬 After configuring settings, test by sending a message (e.g., via Discord) to your phone and verifying that the notification appears on your watch.
