Vivoactive 3 notifications issue

Anyone else having issues with not getting text notifications? I have a galaxy s6 and had no problems getting text on my vivoactive hr.
I was super excited to get the vivoactive 3 since it has a reply option even if it's a preset reply. Not very happy that I rarely get one. I've checked everything as far as permissions and etc.

    Hi Guys, I've just gotten a vivo active 3. Using a Huawei P20 Pro as my android phone. I had an issue with receiving notifications, even with all my permissions on the connect app and watch set to "allow" . I found that the special permissions on my phone itself had restricted it. for this i had went to on my phone, settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > settings (small gear sign on the huawei) > special access > notification access.

    I found my garmin connect set to off on this. Once enabled it all flooded in.

    Please bare in mind this layout was for a P20 Pro, but should similiar to other android devices. And maybe a similiar method to Apple aswell.
    Thanks guys.


    Thanks Leeboy69 it also worked for me like charm on Huawei P20 Pro!

    Hi, I had the same problem and it was frustrating. Luckily I found the fix on the internet and is kind of easy to fix it.

    That worked for me, and I hope will work for you too.
