Since last week or longer can't remember, my Galaxy Watch has stopped vibrating for incoming text messages when using the Samsung Messages app on my Galaxy Z Fold 5. All notification and vibration settings are correctly enabled on both the watch and phone. I have rebooted both watch and phone. Iโve also tested with a brand-new watchโsame issue thinking my watch was brocken (wasted my money I guess). However, when I switch to Google Messages as the default SMS app, notifications and vibrations work perfectly. This suggests the problem lies with Samsung Messages and how it syncs with the watch. I like the layout and feel of Samsung Messages and hate the Google Messages. Anyone know what to do?? I also cleared catch and data on Samsung Messages still not working. Everything is up to date on both devices.
I am having the same issue. It started a few months ago with my Galaxy 6 watch. I just purchased the Galaxy 8 thinking it was an issue with 6, but still the same problem. Tech support was no help at all. I'm hoping they correct this soon.
I just switched over to T-mobile from At&t and now the Samsung messages doesn't alert my phone with a ring or vibrate? But the Google messages works, I don't think changing to different carrier would affect this, it seems it is a common issue with samsung messaging now! A resolution yet?
@Bub75 It could be as simple as the notifications for Samsung Messages are turned off in the Notification settings while the notifications for Google Messages are not.
I have completed the entire gambit of troubleshooting and also spoke with samsung support with no solution. I really think it is a samsung messaging issue.
