Do you, too own a Huawei smartwatch and are facing issues getting your smartphone notifications right on your wrist? Here’s a guide to help you fix notification issues for the Huawei Health app and your smartwatch.
Why Can’t I Get Notifications On Huawei Smartwatch?
It all started when Google and Huawei had a conflict that split them up in May 2019. Subsequently, Google has ensured that no Huawei application exists on the Play Store, citing data security concerns. This is why settings on your Huawei are restricted by default, which then disables the notifications on your smartwatch.
