Has anyone tried to utilize the galaxy app to add devices? The only connected device that IS showing as "connected device" is my Classic 8 watch. I have removed my buds 3 pro from my Bluetooth device list and tried to utilize the wearable app....and I will NEVER add a device when I do all the correct ways to add a device..It scans and doesn't find a thing..

(AM I missing something) or then only way to add a device is through the Bluetooth toggle scan?
Thanks (Im using ui 8 Android 16)

In UI 8 and beyond the Buds won't appear in the Wearable app. The settings are available in the Bluetooth settings by clicking the gear icon to the right.

First off this post belongs on the Beta forum.

In Ui8 Galaxy Buds can be accessed in settings right under your profile picture when the case is open. You can also put the buds widget on your phone. I use this all the time to switch from ambient to ANC.

You don't need the wear app for buds. Only watches and the Galaxy Ring.

Or as @LongHiker stated in Bluetooth settings.1754183457961.jpg
