If I choose "New Message" on my F8x or Epix 2 Pro (all on newest sw), I always only get "add contacts in the Garmin Messenger app". Of course I have contacts in the Messenger app/on my M+ available. I am on iOS 2.2.1 (1182785) MESSanger app version. Is it just an user error/I am to dumb to check it or ...???
I have power cycled phone/watches, unlinked watches from Mess app and readded them. Did not help.
