Hi,

I've always had iPhone and recently changed to Samsung (honestly, why didn't I do it sooner?)

I just need help with a couple of things if anyone knows.

Is there any way of adding my icloud emails to my device? I've tried apps and walk-throughs and can't get them to work. Ideally I want them on as I've used the same email address for 10 or so years and don't want to have to change everything.

Secondly, I can't get the notifications for my whatsapp to come through on my watch? I've followed the Samsung YouTube tutorial too.

My devices are a Z Flip 5 and a Watch 6.

Thanks!

Did you checked wearable app- notifications? You can check all of your apps what you have on your phoneScreenshot_20230820_131118_Galaxy Watch6 Manager.jpg

If you use Gmail as your email app go to settings and add account I believe.

As for WhatsApp on watch the post below is a good place to start. Let us know how you get onScreenshot_20230820_132031_Gmail~2.jpgScreenshot_20230820_132046_Gmail~2.jpgScreenshot_20230820_132041_Gmail~2.jpg

@seancurry2023    Apple uses two factor authentication by default on icloud  which makes it problematic for 3rd party apps to sign in, it is best to create an app specific password to use on Android.  sign in to your Apple Account and under the security tab  you are able to generate a password. See more information here https://www.androidcentral.com/how-set-your-icloud-email-account-android 

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

Maybe using Bluemail for the emails may work ?
I use it for AOL/Gmail and Microsoft email
