Android for work apps notifications on watch

I recently installed Android for work apps on my Pixel 2 device. The android for work apps are not being offered in the smart notifications list in the Garmin Connect app. Is there a way to include the work segregated apps in the list so that I can receive notifications on my Forerunner 645?

I have the same issue...any answer to this situation, everyday we are more users facing this and a solution for a 800 EUR smartwatch should be in place...will appreciate if you can consider this in your next update.

I have the same issue with a chat app, Symphony, that is a work profile installed app on android. It would be lovely if the work profile apps show up in the App Notifications list in Garmin Connect. Please & Thank You!

Make sure you enabled the application in Garmin Connect Mobile notification settings. If it is on, try rebooting the phone. More tips for troubleshooting notifications are available here:

To explain it simple. The Android for Work Apps DO NOT show up in Garming Connect settings, so they are not visible for smart notifications within Garmin Connect.

I had a Samsung Galaxy Watch before and no issues at all, so it is a Garmin fix needed

Try reading the tips in the links, I bet there is a hint that will help. Did you for example verify also the notification & permission settings of the Android for Work App? On some OS versions the app may need a special permission to send notifications when the phone is locked, but there are many more tweaks available - as I wrote, just go through all the tips I posted, there is load of them.

I will do, but as I said. The apps generate notifications in the phone with no issues, the previous watch no issues, Garmin issues. Garmin Connect settings for smart notifications all apps selected, nothing in the watch is shown (obviously in the phone I do have the notifications, only they are not pushed to the Garmin Device).

I understood, but believe me, there are indeed countless of different factors and parameters playing a role, so when you are attaching a new device, depending on your exact configuration, settings, and OS build, some adjustments may need to be done on one or both sides. It is not necessarily Garmin to be blamed, even if you wrote it previously worked with a Samsung watch.
