Call history/whatsapp history on garmin watch

I have searched through many of the threads here and I cannot find an answer. I do not want phone call history to populate on my watch at all. I don't know if "notifications" are the same thing as call history, but I want neither on my watch. For clarification, on my iphone I receive regular calls and whatsapp calls. On my iphone, whatsapp phone calls populate in the phone history just the way regular calls do, i.e. if I receive or miss a whatsapp call, it will be listed in call history with all the regular phone calls. This is all fine so far because this is on my phone. I don't want this history on my watch.

The settings I have:  in the Garmin Connect app on my iphone, in Settings/Phone Permissions I have notifications off. Also, under Settings/Connected Apps, Whatsapp is NOT listed there. To be honest, I have no idea if I can even modify the Connected Apps list or if I can add/delete these myself. In any event, Whatsapp is not there. Now settings on my iphone:  under Settings/Notifications/Garmin Connect app, I have Notifications off there too.

Is this sufficient to turn off record of any incoming phone calls on my watch, either regular phone calls or whatsapp calls? 

  • I do not know what watch you own, but on mine, I can disable the phone call notifications in the device menu » Phone » Smart Notifications » General Use » Calls » Status » Off. Similarly for SMS (Text instead of Calls). Then repeat applying the same setting also in the submenu  During Activity (instead of General Use).

    Otherwise, for disabling individual apps from sending notifications to your Garmin device, read up the document How Do I Set Up Which Notifications Display on My Garmin Device?
