 I do not want my watch to get smart notifications, and I will not grant these permissions. 
 Is there any way to stop this constant badgering</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 22 Jan 2021 20:51:58 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software/mobile-apps-web/f/garmin-connect-mobile-andriod/231858/how-to-stop-connect-app-from-asking-for-permissions-for-smart-notifications" /><item><title>RE: How to stop connect app from asking for permissions for smart notifications?</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/thread/1201051?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jan 2021 20:51:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:d970e32a-28b8-42ec-83a6-aa6af8ed78d2</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;thanks for this tip. it was driving me nuts as well. had everything off but didn&amp;#39;t know about this android trip. hat tip for sure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to stop connect app from asking for permissions for smart notifications?</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/thread/1098524?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2020 20:34:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:1ee9811a-7f77-43ad-84ce-ad2df6b60fec</guid><dc:creator>5624162</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;That would be the reason, I have a Note 4 with Android 6.

&lt;p&gt;Turning off notifications it is then, but thanks for the help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to stop connect app from asking for permissions for smart notifications?</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/thread/1098515?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2020 20:23:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:017426e2-2b84-4580-bf87-259647ddc4a4</guid><dc:creator>trux</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I am on Android 10, but as far as I remember, I could do it already on Android 9, too.

&lt;p&gt;Long-tap the GC icon, select &lt;strong&gt;App Info&lt;/strong&gt;, then &lt;strong&gt;Notifications&lt;/strong&gt;, and disable the option &lt;strong&gt;Acess Required&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That did the trick for me - no more notifications about unavailable permissions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to stop connect app from asking for permissions for smart notifications?</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/thread/1098400?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2020 16:07:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:42286238-08ce-4117-bddc-e95f5f59f16c</guid><dc:creator>5624162</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="https://forums.garmin.com/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/2/Screenshot_5F00_2020_2D00_07_2D00_03_2D00_17_2D00_56_2D00_31.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Translation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Permission required&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For receiving smart notifications for incoming calls, missed calls and voicemail, Garmin Connect require telephone permissions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to stop connect app from asking for permissions for smart notifications?</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/thread/1098360?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2020 14:54:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:aad6a2f4-9fcd-4345-92a9-98e2c527df7d</guid><dc:creator>trux</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Could you post a screenshot of the exact warning you get?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to stop connect app from asking for permissions for smart notifications?</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/thread/1098342?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2020 14:33:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:62ed0a59-8ed9-4085-84d7-e7d54e7b1616</guid><dc:creator>5624162</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I tried that, took only a few minutes until the next notification popped up.
