Is it possible to receive WhatsApp messages on your Garmin?

1803108 — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 10:48:50 GMT

Is it possible to receive a push message on a Garmin Fenix 8 when you receive a WhatsApp message on the connected iPhone 12?

And if so, how?

I tried a lot, but nothing works.

Thank you. I think I have to learn to live without the messages :)

RE: Purchased watch face was suddenly deinstalled and I have to purchase it again!

Mingui — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 15:21:55 GMT

It happened to me with two watch faces: one was from Garmin. Support washes their hands of it and tells me to contact the developer; the developer tells me that Garmin handles payment management and billing, so I’m stuck in an absurd loop.

Purchased watch face was suddenly deinstalled and I have to purchase it again!

jwunderwaldt — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 10:47:33 GMT

Hello,

I purchased the watch face Garmin All Stars – tactix 8 Delta 010-D2265-30 for my tactix 7 AMOLED.

After two days the watch face was deinstalled (dont know why???). Now I should purchase it again to install it.

Please help!

Thank you!

Connect IQ will not pair with my Edge 520.

Moultoneer — Fri, 22 May 2026 13:39:37 GMT

Connect IQ will not pair with my Edge 520 even though this Edge is paired with Garmin Connect. When I try add the device to Connect IQ, it sends me back to Connect, where the Edge is already paired. But Connect IQ seems not to recognise that the Edge is paired in Connect.

I've been going round in circles with this. And yes, I've deleted both apps from my phone and re-installed them, and re-paired the Edge 520. It's made no difference.

Has any one been able to get the dexcom app to work?

4544779 — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 20:08:14 GMT

Ive spent the last few days trying to get this dexcom app to work.. Any one have any tips? I did build my own to read from the dexcom site but figured the actual app may have more features.

Coach Greg plan isn't recognizing my benchmark run.

4846272 — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:52:50 GMT

I just started a coach plan with coach Greg today along with my running partner. We both the did benchmark run - my watch says it is completed and to sync for the rest of the week's workouts but after syncing Garmin coach plan is still saying that I need to the benchmark run since it isn't counting my run towards the plan. My running partner is having the same issues. what can we do to have it count towards the plan? I've tried some of the tips I've sen such as changing the category to training or fitness as well as changing the run's name to benchmark run as well as pausing the plan or rescheduling the run to today in hopes it'll properly sync and still the run isn't being counted towards the plan.

Garmin Coach Workout Completed and Not Counted Towards Coach Greg Plan.

8313068 — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 14:45:34 GMT

This is beyond frustrating, I started a coach plan with Coach Greg this Thursday. I went out and did the Benchmark Run, I went to Workouts right on my Forerunner 965 watch and selected the workout for the day, I completed the workout, received all my stats back and score. Synced it to my Garmin Connect app and it did not count the run as a workout and still has me scheduled to do the same run again, I don't want to do the same run, I want to move on and continue the program.

The fact that I cannot simply go into the app and manually force it to recognize this as a scheduled workout is absolutely ridiculous. The fact that I cannot do this on the website is beyond ridiculous. There is no option to make it recognize this was a completed scheduled workout.

I can't even go onto the next workout until this is completed, so I'm now forced to waste another day and do the same workout again? What kind of rudimentary technology is this?

I've seen tons of complaints with the happening. We spend a lot of money on a product that doesn't work! FIX THIS!

I would recommend reaching out to WhatsApp to see if they have additional troubleshooting regarding this.

Hi there, can you please confirm the make and software version of the iPhone that you are using with the watch?

Garmin Connect App not opening

1951666 — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 03:27:32 GMT

My previous garmin watch broke so I didn't use the Connect app for around 3 months. I have now bought a new Garmin watch but when I open my Connect App to load my new watch, it won't load or open - the running symbol just continues to run. I have closed the app, deleted the app, redownloaded it, tried turning my phone off and on but it will not open so I am unable to wear my new watch.

Has anyone had this happen to them and what was your solution if I have tried all of the following?

Cheers

I try connecting trought both apps, garmin doesnt show myfitnesspal app on phone and when i connect trought myfitnesspal and garmin homepage, nothing happens.

RE: Why my garmin connect doesnt connect to myfitnesspal?

6671021 — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 08:11:11 GMT

I have had the same issue. It has now been resolved by disconnecting from the Garmin connect app through the myfitnesspal app and then reconnecting to the Garmin Connect app.

Thank you. Even when the WhatsApp app on my phone is running in the background, the messages still don't appear on my watch as a push message. Only when I open the Whatsapp app on my watch it shows a preview of the message. But when receiving a new message, the watch doesn't vibrate or shows a notification. Any idea why this doesn't work?

I'm having the same problem. The Connect app will not open. I've tried clearing the cache, restarting my phone, and redownloading the app. I have the most recent version. Makes me feel dumb for spending so much money on this watch.

RE: Does anyone know what watch faces these are? Also are they available on forerunner 165?

4870762 — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 15:26:14 GMT

Those watch faces look great! If they're from the Garmin Connect IQ Store, availability depends on whether the developer supports the Forerunner 165. The 165 is compatible with Connect IQ watch faces, but not every face is available on every Garmin model due to hardware or API differences. If you know the name of the watch face or can share a screenshot, it's much easier to identify it and confirm compatibility. As an alternative, popular faces like Simple 2 FE, Glance, and SHN EDO all work well on the Forerunner 165 and offer similar clean, data-rich layouts.
