notifications bug after 26.00 update

I do not experience that with my iPhone so I assume it does not affect everyone. Have you tried to reset your watch and start from scratch?

Now I'm convinced that this is my last smartwatch that I buy from Garmin. I'd rather buy something else next time, from someone who knows how to do a software.

If I'll be releasing hotfixes like that in my job, I'd get fired.

By the way, for various reasons I enabled notifications privacy, so the gesture is needed to show notification text. The issue affects this as well - for 1 out of 3 notifications, raising hand has no effect.

Came here to look for this issue!  Mine started in the first km of New York marathon when the 'live track started' notification appeared as full screen on my watch face and I was terrified of turning it off and losing first few kms!   Ever since then every single notification while I'm out running fills half of screen and I can't see the top fields on the face.  I have to press the up/menu button to get it off.  Sometimes when I'm not running a notification comes up with a symbol that's different to usual.  I get so many notifications while I'm out running it's annoying!

After half a year, I've come to believe that the problem won't be fixed. I can't quantify it, but it seems to be getting worse each month. Now, I can confidently say that notifications on Fenix 6 don't work at all. This, along with another unresolved elevation issue (reported by many users), raises serious doubts about considering Garmin for my next purchase.

I had this issue as well in the past, but it has gone away since. I'm still on version 26.00 on my Fenix 6 Pro, but I did update the mobile app on Android, which I believe is what fixed the issue for me.

I would reach out to Garmin - Chris after the holidays and provide them with all relevant details, which is what I did. I understand it is frustrating when an expensive device starts experiencing software bugs, especially for something that used to work just fine. I personally had both some software and a hardware issue with my Garmin devices and I do appreciate their support. The hardware issue was resolved very very smoothly for myself. I've had two software issues resolved. Granted, another one is still outstanding, but I can live with it and I'm actually happy and hopeful to see that Garmin is still working on improvements for the Fenix 6 series at.

I did it about 6 months ago. I provided all the details, answered questions in a private chat, and also sent the log from Garmin Connect. In general, I am happy with Garmin support; I have had different issues with various watches in the past, and they were always resolved. However, with this one, I am really disappointed.
