Garmin Fenix 3 Notifications not clearing

sanch0
I'm not sure if it's a recent update to the Fenix3 or something in the new Android phone (HTC 10) that I bought a few weeks ago, but I've noticed that my notifications, specifically text messages no longer clear from my watch; neither the 'dismiss' prompt on the watch itself or reading the text(s) on my phone will remove them from the notifications screen. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,
Matt

    I have the same problem. I can't seem to figure out how to clear the notifications. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S5 active.

    Has anyone recently experienced any problems with clearing notifications from a watch linked to an iPhone? (I'm using a Fenix 5S). Until a few days ago, when I cleared notifications (texts, news alerts, FB etc) they would also clear from my iPhone. For some reason this has suddenly stopped. I've tried the usual re-starting and re-syncing devices, but no luck, and nothing in iphone Notification settings or in Connect settings. Any ideas at all? Suspect this is a by product from the recent Garmin Connect and iOS updates.

    Yep. All three Garmin watches. 2022. Up to date iPhone. Up to date watches.

    You are posting to the forum of Garmin Connect Web, but it looks like you are referring to the Garmin Connect Mobile app for iOS, or am I wrong? In iOS, if the notification counter cannot be cleared from the GCM icon on the home screen, then you can try forcing the app to stop, and restarting.

    On all three watches - Fenix 3, Vivoactive 3, Vivoactive 4 - Ring notifications are not clearing on watches when cleared on iPhone 13 Pro 15.4.1.

    What is going on? It is a real pain to have to clear one by one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yep. Mobile app. RING notifications will not clear on iPhone 13 Pro 15.4.1.

    It does not seem to be related to the GCM app. I just re-tested it on my Instinct 2, and the notification clearing works both ways - when I clear a notification on the watch, it instantly disappears from the phone too, and vice versa as well. Tried with app notifications, as well as with calls. So I'd tell it is either a problem of some missing permission on your iPhone, or a device related problem - you may be better advised on the subforum dedicated to the model(s) you own.

    Probably a problem with memory full in the watch?. When you connect your watch to your PC you can see all folders like an external drive. You should delete those old notifications from there but I have no idea what folders to look in :(
