Want to view and manage your Gmail notifications on your Galaxy Watch? Here is how to do it.
Gmail notifications are disabled by default when you pair your Samsung Galaxy Watch with your phone. Also, Gmail doesn’t have a standalone app for WearOS. For these reasons, you will not be able to receive or reply to your emails from your watch.
If you want to access Gmail from your Galaxy Watch, you need to modify the app notification settings from within the Galaxy Wearable app. This is how you do it.
How to enable Gmail notifications in the Galaxy Wearable app
You must have Galaxy Wearable installed on your phone to seamlessly sync your Galaxy Watch with your phone. Follow these steps to start receiving Gmail notifications on your watch:
- Launch Galaxy Wearable and tap Clock settings.
- Tap notifications And go to app notifications.
- To locate gmail from the list of available apps and turn on their notifications.
- You can now start receiving email notifications on your watch.
