Do I need the app open to get notifications

Just got this trackers and my notifications only work when the app is open.  How do I still get my notifications with it closed.  I’m using iPhone 

  • Hello,

    have you already set up your notification settings on your smartphone. Therefore please follow these steps:
    Settings > Notifications > Garmin Connect App > Allow Notifications
    Choose also Show Previews > Always (Default)

    Open Garmin Connect App > Settings > Messages > iOS Notifications > turn on

    Best
