TL;DR

Tap Test notification in Lynio. If it fails, check your connection, Bluetooth and notification settings on both devices. If that doesn't help, pair your watch again.

How to test your notifications

Go to the Notifications section in Lynio and tap Test notification. The test should be successful.

What to check if the test fails

  1. 1
    Connection: check that the Lynio home screen shows your watch as connected.
  2. 2
    Bluetooth: check that it is on for your iPhone and your watch.
  3. 3
    Lynio on your iPhone: give the permissions shown on the home screen.
  4. 4
    Lynio on your watch: give the permission there too.
  5. 5
    Pairing pop-up: your iPhone asks you to allow the connection when you pair, and you must accept. On the Lynio home screen, the card for notifications and media should show as active. If it doesn't, pair your watch again using the steps below.
  6. 6
    Bluetooth sharing: on your iPhone, open Settings > Bluetooth, tap (i) next to your watch and turn on Share System Notifications.
  7. 7
    The app's notifications: on your iPhone, open Settings > Notifications, choose the app and turn on Allow Notifications. It must be allowed on the Lock Screen and in Notification Center.
  8. 8
    Lynio settings: in Lynio, open Settings > Notifications. Check that the app is turned on and check your quiet hours.
  9. 9
    Muted apps: on your watch, open App notifications and check that the app isn't muted.
  10. 10
    Watch sound: on your watch, open Settings > Sound and check that it isn't muted.

No need to buy an Apple Watch

How to pair your watch again

  1. 1
    In Lynio on your iPhone, forget the watch.
  2. 2
    On your iPhone, open Settings > Bluetooth, tap (i) next to your watch and tap Forget This Device.
  3. 3
    On your watch, remove your iPhone from its Bluetooth devices.
  4. 4
    Pair again in Lynio.

Why are notifications silent on my Samsung watch?

  1. 1
    Remove the sticker from the back of the watch, the side that touches your wrist.
  2. 2
    Wear the watch. On most watches, the sound only plays while you are wearing it.
  3. 3
    On your watch, open Settings > Sound and check that it isn't muted.

No need to buy an Apple Watch

Use Lynio to connect your Wear OS watch (Android Watch) to your iPhone.

Quick Answers

Do I need the app on my watch to receive notifications, such as WhatsApp?

No. Your iPhone sends notifications from apps such as WhatsApp to your watch once pairing is complete.

Can I reply to notifications from my watch?

No, you can't reply from your watch at the moment. Your iPhone sends the notification to your watch so you can read it, but it doesn't let non-Apple watches send a reply through it. To reply, open the app on your iPhone.
