If your iPhone runs on the newest iOS version, iOS 13, you must activate “Share system notifications” on the iPhone before you can get notified of new messages on your smartwatch. This applies to all iPhone devices running iOS 13, regardless of the year and model.

Enabling this feature on iPhone is to comply with the latest Apple privacy policy on iOS 13. So, whether you use the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active2, or Galaxy Watch3 because the connected device is an iPhone running iOS 13, you must enable this feature to fix the issue.

You will find the “Share system notifications” feature via Settings ==> Bluetooth ==> My Devices ==> Tap on the smartwatch ==> Toggle the settings on.

2. Ensure Messages Notifications Are Not Disabled

This fix also applies to iPhone users. You must check your message notifications settings. If message notifications are disabled, of course, you can’t get new notifications on your smartwatch. To check for this, open the Galaxy Watch app ==> on the Home tab ==> tap Notifications ==> then go to Blocked notifications ==> check if Messages appear on the list.

If the Messages app is on the block list, tap the remove (minus) icon next to it to disable the block. After this is done, most definitely, with “Share System Notifications” enabled on the iPhone, you will always receive new notifications on your smartwatch.

3. Grant Notification Access (Android OS)

First of all, ensure the Watch is not in Airplane, and also ensure it’s within connection range with your phone, then check if you’d like the Disconnected icon on your Watch’s screen. If the Watch is disconnected, connect it back, but if it’s connected, maybe you should manually disconnect it and re-connect using a Bluetooth connection.
