Facebook Messenger not showing on Fenix 6 notifications

Had an issue for ages, and just found the fix, so thought I would share it in the event it will help others. This is based around the assumption you have got notifications set to "on" within the Connect App etc. and still not receiving notifications. Will also work for emails and any other notifications you are not receiving

On your watch, go to:

1. settings -

2. Phone -

3. Smart Notifications -

4. During Activity (choose your options on what comes through i.e. Show Calls and Texts or show all etc)

5. And this is where it got me, also go to "NOT DURING ACTIVITY" and chose "Show All".....Not during activity is the majority of your day. 

Then you can go back to your Garmin Connect App - More (bottom left of your screen on Android) - Settings - Notifications - App notifications and choose what you want to come through on your watch. You will now get all notifications from the apps you chose to switch on from the connect App notification app menu

Hope this helped

    I was also super confused about how they named these options when i first got my fenix 6. They should have called it something like "Outside of activities", that would have been clearer in my opinion.

    I feel like this is going to fix something that has been driving me crazy. The only use case I'm looking for something other than texts and calls is when I want notifications about a cruise app we use when on vacation to message family and friends on the ship 

    Thanks!

    Great to hear. I did decide to write it as I knew how frustrating it was for me. I basically lived with it and then my wife bought a Garmin and was getting all the messages which prompted me to review as mine is a better and newer model than hers. Took me some time, but it felt good when I finally sorted it. Enjoy your cruises.
