v15.19 - Can't Setup Live Event Sharing Triggers.

I'm not sure why that message pops up when you try setting it up through your device settings > Safety & Tracking. I'll create a report.

Like nord0296 mentioned, you can set it up without receiving that message from your More menu > Safety & Tracking > Live Event Sharing > etc. 

nord0296, can I send you an email to find out more about your settings not saving?

Ahh.  I was looking under the device settings for the watch Devices=>Forerunner 945 LTE=>Safety & Tracking=>Live Event Sharing.

The app controls these settings, but they are within More -> Safety & Tracking -> Live Event Sharing -> Message Options -> Message Triggers instead of looking through the My Device -> Settings -> Safety & Tracking.

Looking in the wrong spot.  Thanks.

Sure, also I think my experiences are roughly noted here https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-945-lte/275124/live-event-sharing-settings-change-randomly

I was reading through it when you shared the link.  I bought this watch primarily to have the ability to Text my wife letting her know where I am on my runs without carrying a phone.  LiveTrack works fine as long as you have GC linked to a subscriber Strava account.  There isn't a way to text directly from GC, only email using LiveTrack.  But I want to drop the Strava subscription and Live Event Sharing allows texting (why the difference?).  So that's why I'm trying to get this to work.

Adding to the confusion, the the GC Device Safety & Tracking Setting menus are different between the 945 LTE (1st screenshot) and Edge 840 (2nd screenshot).  Using Android.

You do not need your phone or a Strava subscription to send LiveTrack messages if you have an LTE subscription service with us. You will set your messages up before your event, letting your contacts know your pace or your estimated finish time, for example. You can read more details here: 

• How Do I Activate a Subscription Service on my Forerunner 945 LTE?
• Smartwatch Subscription Plan
• Garmin Connect Live Event Sharing

Let me know if that answers your question. Our device menu's vary, depending on the features. The Edge's don't have Live Event Sharing for example, which is why it's not listed.
