Edit text message reply

I have fenix 5x and there is an option to use text replies, there is no option to edit them. Can we expect this feature in closest version?
  • Fenix 5 series firmware update just rolling with canned message reply feature but still no coresponding GCM update (to edit text of canned messages). :-(
  • Yes, exactly, 5x plus have it in GCM and 5x does not, what a pitty.

    Why are there so many bugs with Garmin firmware.

    According to this we should be able to edit replies but I can't find it either.

    I have a 5x plus and it doesn't have it...I can send canned replies from the watch but there's nothing on GCM to customize text message replies. I am pretty sure it was there when I was setting up the watch but it's not now.

    I had a Vivoactive 3 prior to swapping it for a Fenix 5, same connect app and login, the edit feature simply vanished once the F5 was synced and I expected it would return once messaging replies were ported to the F5 but nothing showing as yet.
  • I updated garmin connect to newest version from August 23rd hoping it would containmenufor editing text replies and it still does not contain that feature.
  • I recently bought a Fenix 5X and thought I saw a menu option to edit the can message responses. I went to see about adding a new response yesterday and it is missing.

    Apparently this is a feature exclusive to the Fenix 5X Plus (even list in the detailed specs for the 5X Plus, not the 5X). The menus in GCM are quite different for the 5X Plus.

    I have a Fenix 5 plus and using GCM 4.10 which I've given full permissions to on my Android phone. I'm able to edit the response list in GCM but on the watch, when I select reply, it just opens the message on my phone. It's doesn't list the canned messages and the only other options are to dismiss or block. Was there something special you guys had to do to send the texts from your watch?
  • It's strange, normally you should have the option to reply and then be able to chose one of predefined replies. WhsW we want here is the option to edit predefined messages.
    In your case you should be able to see at least predefined messages. Try to restart watch, upgrade watch software, whatever.
