In Garmin Connect android app, in Smart notifications (I suposse its named like that in English...), Whatsapp and Gmail are both switched on, but I see no notifications in my edge 520 screen when I receive messages or mails. It seems to work only with phone calls and SMS. My phone is Samsumg Galaxy S4. Can you see whatsapp in your 520?
SMS and phone calls only - Garmin don’t think you should get WhatsApp or any other notifications - a bit random but they’ve done that to all the edge devices
The thing is that on a fenix 3 or 5 you recieve whatsapp msg .... mails... but not an the edge .... I own a edge 1000 and 1030 and on both devices it's not working!
I tried to talk to the garmin support team about that issue but they keep telling me only to check my settings and that it should work. BUT IT DOESN'T!!!!
I really think a device brand new and expensive like the garmin edge 1030 ... promoting the messaging functions as new features really should be able to handle whatsapp msg and not just sms and calls ... sry garmin!
Its not just sms and calls, I sometimes get Hangouts messages displayed on my edge 520. But like all Garmin software its spotty and half baked. I cant believe they can keep doing such a bad job in 2018.
i get whatsapp, gmail and so on on my Edge. Used it quite a lot in WhatsApp to send fast replys while riding my bike. So definitely not just sms or so (Device connected to an Android phone)
I notice that there are different opinions here, what would be the truth? I wouldn't want to upgrade form 130 and not work. I'm interested also in notifications from facebook messenger, not only whatsapp. Please help.
Too bad that garmin devices have a lot of advanced things that I don't use, and I don't have simple stuff like noifications. Good thing they put them on watches... which I'm not interested in.
