WhatsApp watch 6 Notifications

[GuzziBoy]

Hi, I've looked through existing comments but can't find a solution. 

I've got the watch 6 Bluetooth. Wireless Connected and also Bluetooth connected. But the WhatsApp notifications are not getting to my watch. I've turned on notifications on the watch and the phone in the wear app. It used to work just can't figure out why it's stopped. I've tested message app from my tablet (sim card) to my phone and it shows up as orange dot as usual. But not whatsapp. Any ideas please, am I missing something. Cheers.

I had the same issue a while back, and it seems to be after an update of the app. I noticed my notification was turned off, although it was turned on previously, and WhatsApp notifications came through. I know you've said WhatsApp notifications are on, please double check and check the notifications settings on the pickle Wear app, too. Also, remember that if your phone is on, do not disturb, that would sync to the watch.
Finally you could uninstall the app from the watch and start afresh. That should do it.

Hi thanks for the info. I've checked what you suggested. See the pics attached. I think I'll try uninstall and install on the watch. I just don't understand why, it used to work perfectly OK. Let's see what happens when I do the uninstall.

Well I've done what you said and uninstalled and the installed whatsapp on my watch. Low and behold it seems to work. At least on the first test. Let's see what happens through the day. Thanks again for your input, I'll confirm later if it keeps working. Cheers.

Bizarre, isn't it. The notifications were turned on but clearly something causing a blip. I'm glad it's working now. Hopefully, it should stay that way.

I'm retired now but worked for HP computing for most of my working life. So yeah totally agree, I'm surrounded by Samsung tech and still love it. I even bought the Samsung TV last yr. As I say my wife thinks I'm losing it when I have them all talking to each other haha.

Ah, nice! That's my next purchase, a Samsung TV! Same here, I love Samsung tech, and we're getting a more integrated ecosystem, which I love.
Haha, she will be blown away with all the fancy tech and capabilities!
