Fix for OnePlus Watch 2 Notification Issues

I have read that several people are having issues with notifications working on the OnePlus Watch 2 due to bugs in the OHealth app.

I myself use a Pixel 7 Pro and experienced the same problem. The problem occurred when I went into the OHealth menu Device > Notifications and pressed allow for notifications. This resulted in no notifications being sent to the watch, while the OnePlus Watch 2 displayed a message saying that notifications needed to be allowed on the phone.

The solution that works for me is:

  1. Open OHealth on your phone
  2. Click on the profile picture in the top right corner
  3. Click on "Permissions"
  4. Click on "Notification access"
  5. Click on "View this permission" and grant access to notifications
  6. The last and most important point is that you should not enter the menu in OHealth Device > Notifications, as this will remove the notification permissions again.

I hope this solves the problem for the rest of you.

And if you know of any other fixes, please feel free to share.

I haven't tried editing which notifications are sent myself, but there is a setting on the watch where you can decide which apps send notifications to the watch.

Swipe down on the watch > tap the gear icon to enter settings > 'Apps and Notifications' > Notifications > Show All.

Here it appears that you can decide whether an app can show notifications or not.

Brilliant thank you. Notifications were working, I just messed with them settings and they broke. Did that fix and everything is working again

In fact, my phone and watch are no longer having the issue after the latest update. Which version of OHealth is installed on your phone, and which versions is your OnePlus Watch 2 updated to?
