Facebook Messenger on Garmin Watches

Rymon 7 months ago

I figure out how able to receive the facebook messenger messages or replies from the person using the Garmin Watch. You just have to go to your phone settings and on the "APPS" menu look for the "(Facebook) Messenger" and allow all the permissions especially the "Nearby Devices". Hope it helps to your gadgets after doing this.

I had the same problem with another phone and another garmin. It's not the s23 or the fenix 7x's fault.
The latest versions of facebook messenger are to blame. I installed a version that was released…

Tried this with my google Pixel 5 and Fenix 7 Pro and still unable to send replies to Facebook messenger. I am receiving alerts, and my watch tells me the response was sent, but it actually doesnt get sent

That's happened to me before but when I turned on all permissions it works with me. Try to restart and do it again, make sure watch is connected to phone and also on Garmin App make sure all permissions are "On".

Yep phone has been restarted, both the Facebook Messenger app and the Garmin app have all permissions allowed.

I will get the alert, I will reply on the watch, the watch confirms the message is sent, but nothing is actually sent to app facebook messenger app

Same issue at me with both my Garmin product ( fenix 7x pro and Edge 1040). I tried cross verification and this problem not appear with viber or Whatsapp messenger. Only the Facebook messenger have some security settings in plus or bug or something....

Same problem with my new Epix pro gen 2. Coming from a Galaxy watch this is very anoying. This should just work with a watch this expensive.
