In update 15.74, it says "ability to display images within smart notifications" - what apps and images are supposed to display on the watch?

I have tried Messenger images sent to me, but they don't appear on the watch as images. Or have I misunderstood what kind of images that are supposed to be displayed?

Check you have the App selected in settings - Notifications - App notifications in Garmin Connect.

I also have Photos and Videos off in Phone permissions.

Yes, as above, tap on the screen and the image should appear. It does for me. Not sure if this is required or it would appear itself after a certain length of time but that's how WhatsApp works for me…

Touch the screen where the image would be (by the down arrow). Mine then shows the image. Shame we can't zoom at all on it though.

Can't also see images, the weird thing is that I have all notifications/rights enabled on the android system itself, but in the Connect App by telephone permissions it says, photos and videos off ? What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks ! As you can see, everything is like you said. App notifications for Whatsapp, Messenger, Connect, Connect IQ in Garmin Connect are all enabled, but I still don't get it. Do I maybe have to tap on the screen to see pictures ?
