Notifications and messages on your HUAWEI band

Enabling the Notifications feature

1. Open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, tap Notifications, and toggle on Notifications.
2. In the app list below, toggle 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

To receive notifications on the wearable based on the phone usage status, open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, tap Notifications, and configure the notification settings.

• HUAWEI phones: Toggle on Mute notifications when using phone.

  Notifications will be muted on your band while you are using your phone. The band will still receive the notification, but it won't vibrate.

  When you aren't using your phone and wearing your band, you will be notified of messages via your band and your phone won't vibrate.

• Other Android phones: Once Mute notifications when using phone (disabled by default) is enabled, notifications will be muted on your band while you are using your phone. The band will still receive the notification, but it won't vibrate.

 

• The Smart notifications or Mute notifications when using phone feature is not available when the wearable is paired with an iPhone.
• These settings are only available on certain bands.

Viewing and deleting unread messages

1. When being worn, your wearable device will vibrate to notify you of new messages pushed from the status bar of your phone.
2. Unread messages will be kept on your band. To view them, swipe up on the device home screen to enter the message center.
3. To delete a message, do as follows:
   • Swipe left on a message that you wish to delete, and tap to delete it.
   • Tap at the bottom of the message list to clear all messages.

 

• Automatic screen-on for incoming messages (when the device is worn) works only on certain wearable 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.
• Messages that you've read on your phone will be automatically cleared from the message list on your wearable. On the other hand, messages that you've read on your wearable will still be kept in the message list on your wearable, and you'll need to tap the Deletion icon to remove them.
• Certain wearable models do not support the deletion of an individual message.

Replying to SMS messages

1. To reply to a new SMS message or a message from WhatsApp, Messenger, or Telegram on your band, you can use quick replies or emoticons. Supported message types are subject to actual use.
2. To customize quick replies, open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, and tap Quick replies.
3. You can tap Add reply to add a reply, tap an existing reply to edit it, or tap next to a reply to delete it.

 

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