Managing messages on your HUAWEI smart watch

Enabling message notifications

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

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.

 

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

• HUAWEI phones: Toggle on Smart notifications.

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

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

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

Viewing and deleting unread messages

1. When being worn, your wearable will vibrate to notify you of new messages pushed from the status bar of your phone.
2. Unread messages will be kept on your wearable. To view them, swipe up on the home screen to enter the message centre.
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.

 

• If you haven't activated the eSIM standalone service and your watch is disconnected from the phone, you will not be able to receive or reply to SMS messages or messages on your watch.
• 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.

Replying to SMS messages

 

• The feature is not supported when your device is paired with an iPhone.
• You can reply to SMS messages directly on your watch once the eSIM Standalone Number service is enabled.
• The quick reply feature is only supported when replying to an SMS message using the SIM card that has received the message.
• To reply to a new SMS message on your watch, you can use quick replies or emoticons. Supported message types are subject to actual use.

1. To reply to a new SMS message or a message from an app such as WhatsApp, Messenger, or Telegram on your watch, use any of the following ways:
   • You can tap the emoticon button below the message to select an emoticon for quick reply.
   • You can tap the keyboard button below the message to customise the reply content.
   • You can also swipe up on the message notification screen and select a quick reply.
2. To customise 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.
