Can't get any notifications on my 925 with Android phone. No matter how I configure Garmin Connect. Web suggests downgrading to 4.1.11 where an I do this and why don't Garmin do something about this as this seems to be a major problem.

How about for getting only the last notification, instead of the last 2 or 3? I only get the last for messages and whatsapp and it's annoying. Have to get my cellphone (note10+) to view missed messages…

That's interesting, my problem is completely reverse of yours.

If I got "Hi", "where are you", "bye", my watch will receive "Hi" 3 times.

This is the fenix 6 pro. So much $$$.. barely does notifications. 4hrs of research and nothing.

Not sure I understand. If you get the last notification, then you get all of them, or don't you? Every notification is the last, when it arrives. If you go then to the Notification widget screen on your Fenix, it should list multiple notifications.

No, not all.
When you receive the message "Hello" and then a new one with "How are you", then the watch displays only the message "How are you". You can not scroll through the other messages (from the same chat app).
That´s not a global issue. It´s depending on the app.

I'm getting all the application that I have selected through the application but one. For some reason the app TheScore will come through my phone and show but won't show on my watch. Every other application that I have selected and want comes through the watch????? Not sure the reason, I've uninstalled and installed back etc?????

Does it show up in the standard notification bar of Android, or does it use some popup window? Garmin Connect will only forward notifications using the standard Android API for notifications, so anything not made with its help, won't be shown on the watch. You also need to make sure notifications are enabled for that app in the Notification settings of Garmin Connect Mobile.

Yes it shows up both at the top this this S that's for the app I'm referring too and it comes up with the rest of the information when you expand it????

And is theScore app enabled in GC Mobile Menu » Settings » Notifications » App Notifications?
