text message notifications not coming through after iOS 13 update

Former Member

Just updated my software to iOS 13.0 and now my FR635 will not alert me of text notifications. When I receive a text my FR635 does not buzz or even show that I have a notification. When I receive notifications from other apps (twitter, groupme, etc) my FR635 will not buzz but with show them on my notifications widget. The only thing my FR635 will do still is buzz for incoming calls. 

I saw other people with similar problems and tried going to settings -> notifications -> connect -> show previews -> always, but this did nothing for me. I still do not get notifications for texts at all or any vibrations for all other notifications (besides phone calls). I have phone notification alerts set to vibration for both during an activity and not during an activity through the Garmin app.

    1. Experiencing the same notification issue on my Instinct after my IOS 13 update on September 19th, 2019. Is this a Garmin software issue or an IOS issue?

    I’m also having the same issue with SMS notifications on my Fenix5x. All other notifications are working (phone calls, voicemails, Skype & WhatsApp messages, etc). SMS was working prior to upgrading to IOS13. Tried the same resources mentioned above with no luck. Also tried deleting and re-adding my device from the Connect app.

    Still searching for a solution. Hopefully Garmin are monitoring this forum and offer up some solution or software update to fix this issue.

  • On the phone, settings/bluetooth/(your watch)/share system notifications, try toggle that off/on

    I have a Fenix 3HR and I’m having the same issues. It even notifies me that I’m making an outgoing call.

    I have the Fenix 3hr and I’m having the same issue. No notifications or even status showing I have messages. Crazy thing is now it vibrates and notifies me of outgoing calls. I’ve contacted garmin and made them aware of issue. Hopefully it’s resolved soon.

    I am also having this problem with my fenix 5s. I get all notifications except texts. Hope there is a solution soon. I’ve tried adjusting pretty much every setting within messages and the garmin app with no luck.
