I've enabled notifications for the Samsung Messages app in the Galaxy Watch Manager app and it is the default texting app on my Samsung S25 phone, but I can't find the actual app on The Galaxy Watch4 or 6.
It does not show in results for the Play Store search on the watch or phone. 
How to please?

@pabloman Which watch are you using? 

Google Messages can't be used on the older Tizen based watches.

You will only be able to use Google Messages on those watchs. They use the Android Wear OS.

Sorry, but it is not possible. Sorry for the typo in my previous post. I have corrected it.

If that's the case, why does Samsung Messages show in the Galaxy Watch Manager under app notification settings?

Because the app is on the phone. The notification may show but you won't be able to open the app on the watch.

I would think so too, but it doesn't show in search results.
