Enable ONLY phone calls notifications on Iphone

Former Member over 4 years ago

I am very interested in the instinct but I need to know if we can, on iphone (ios 13) enable ONLY phone calls notifications and ignore the rest, without the need of disabling the "Notification Center" alert setting for every app on the iPhone settings. In other words, I need my notifications as they are on my phone (I do not want to change my iphone settings, as explained here) but receive ONLY phone calls on the watch. Is that possible?

I do not know about the iPhone version of GC Mobile, but on GC Mobile Android it is easy - enter the GCM Menu » Settings » Notifications » App Notifications, and select there only those apps that you want to allow sending notifications to your Instinct.

Thanks for the answer!

on Android I know this is doable because Android is more flexible, but iOS is a very closed system. For instance, you cannot fine-grain your notifications per-app inside the GC app, you need do to do it enabling or disabling the “notification center” setting for each app. I do not want to do that, and that’s why I would need some feedback from an ios user . In any case thanks again!

It is possible on iOS. Go to devices(in the phone app), click on the device - sounds and alerts - smart notifications and there you can set it to all or calls only.
