Buds 3 pro do not show in the wearable app

[userPF5RdudY1d]

Hi all,

I got the Z fold 7 and I tried to pair it with it after resetting it using a Z fold 5 (my old phone). However, the only way I can get it to pair is through Bluetooth directly by pressing the button in the buds 3 pro case and searching the bluetooth device in the phone, the app won't see it either when the buds are freshly reset or after I paired them with the phone. I tried all the troubleshooting steps I could find only: reset the buds, clear cache and data in the app, deleting and reinstalling the app and restarting the phone several times... Then I tested resetting the buds and pairing them with a galaxy tab and also with a galaxy s25 ultra directly from the wearable app with no problem so it is very likely a z fold 7 issue. Please help me solve this pearing issue.

Thank you

Yea it's in the settings menu pair them to Bluetooth go to settings right under your samsung account name the settings for buds will pop up

Yes, thanks, that is what I do but is inconvenient. However, it is a workaround until they get it fixed.

I don't think they're going to "fix it". I believe they stated in the Key Note that this was the new way forward. It's intentional system behavior for One UI 8.

It's intentional that we have to keep repairing Samsung devices to Samsung devices? My phone is up to buds3 5 because it keeps not connecting.

I'm having a similar issue with my Watch 8 and Z Fold 5, except I can't even get the watch to pair via Bluetooth.

When I select the watch in Bluetooth settings it opens the Wearable app automatically, but still doesn't show up.

In fold 7 also have same problem.

I have an 23+ and brand new buds3 pro. The wearable app does not see them. The case will not reset.

After the lastest UI update, neither pair of my Galaxy Buds show up in the Wearables app. Only my watches show, nothing else now.

Yes, that is by design. In UI 8 the Buds have their settings moved to Bluetooth settings. Click the gear to the right of the Buds name to access the settings.
