Message management on your HUAWEI watch

Enabling message notifications

1. Open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, touch Notifications, and toggle on Notifications.
2. In the app list below, turn on the switches for the apps you wish to receive notifications from.

On the Notifications screen, the APPS section shows the apps for which push notifications are available.

Push notifications settings

Open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, and touch Notifications. On this screen, you can enable Smart notifications or Mute notifications when using phone depending on your phone model.

• HUAWEI phones: When Smart notifications is enabled, the phone will intelligently select which device to notify based on phone usage. When you're using your phone, notifications will be muted on your watch. It'll still receive the notifications, but it won't vibrate or ring. When you aren't using your phone but keeping your watch on your wrist, you will be notified of messages via your watch and your phone won't vibrate or ring. Smart notifications is disabled by default.
• Android phones: When Mute notifications when using phone is enabled, notifications will be muted on your watch if you're using your phone. The watch won't vibrate or ring. Mute notifications when using phone is disabled by default.

 

• The Smart notifications and Mute notifications when using phone features are not available when the watch is paired with an iPhone.
• These settings are only available on certain wearable models.

Viewing unread messages

When being worn, your watch will vibrate to notify you of new messages pushed from the status bar of your phone.

Unread messages will be kept on your watch. To view them, swipe up on the watch home screen to enter the message center.

Automatic screen-on for incoming messages (when the device is worn) works only on certain watch/band models. To check if your device supports the feature, go to Settings > Notifications and toggle on Wake screen if it's available. If you can't find such a switch, you can view messages by raising your wrist or pressing the button to wake the screen.

Replying to SMS messages

 

• This feature is only available on certain product models.
• This feature is unavailable when your watch is paired with an iPhone.
• Quick SMS replies only work with the SIM card that has received the SMS message.

To reply to a new SMS message or a message from WhatsApp, Messenger, or Telegram on your watch, you can use quick replies or emoticons. Supported message types are subject to actual use.

Customizing quick SMS replies

 

• If there is no Quick replies card, it indicates that your watch does not support this feature.
• This feature is unavailable when your watch is paired with an iPhone.

You can customize a quick reply as follows:

1. Once your watch is linked with Huawei Health, open the app, navigate to the device details screen, and touch the Quick replies card.
2. You can touch Add reply to add a new one, touch an existing reply to edit it, or touch next to a reply to delete it.

Deleting messages

• On the device's message center, swipe left on a message that you wish to delete, and touch to delete it.
• Touch at the bottom of the message list to clear all messages.

 

• Messages that you've read on your phone will be automatically cleared from the message list on your watch. On the other hand, messages that you've read on your watch will still be kept in the message list on your watch, and you'll need to touch the deletion icon to remove it.
• Certain watch models do not support the deletion of an individual message.
