Da Fit notifications not working? Restore watch alerts
If calls, messages, or app notifications are not showing on your Da Fit smartwatch, confirm the watch connection, allow notification access on the phone, enable each alert in Da Fit, and check Do Not Disturb and background settings.

Core checklist
Check the four layers that control watch notifications
1. Confirm the watch is connected
Open Da Fit and confirm the Device page shows the watch as connected. If it is disconnected, follow the official connection fix before changing notification settings.
2. Allow phone notification access
On Android, open Settings, search for Notification access, and allow Da Fit. Also allow notifications, Nearby Devices, and background activity for Da Fit. On iPhone, open Settings > Notifications and Settings > Bluetooth, then confirm Da Fit has permission.
3. Enable alerts inside Da Fit
Open Da Fit, choose the connected device, and open Notifications or Message Push. Turn on calls, SMS, and only the apps whose alerts you want on the watch.
4. Check Do Not Disturb and background limits
Turn off Do Not Disturb or focus modes on both the phone and watch while testing. Android users should disable battery optimization for Da Fit so the phone does not stop notification forwarding when the screen is off.
Specific symptoms
Why only some alerts are missing
Calls work, but messages do not
Call Bluetooth and app notifications use different permissions. Keep the watch connected in Da Fit, then check Notification access and the individual SMS or messaging-app switch.
One messaging app never appears
Confirm that the app is selected in Da Fit and allowed to show notifications on the phone. Muted conversations, an open chat window, or an app-specific focus setting may prevent a new phone notification from being created.
Notifications stop when the screen turns off
This usually points to background restrictions. Set Da Fit battery use to Unrestricted, allow autostart when available, and lock Da Fit in recent apps. Follow the phone background permission guide.
Old notifications remain on the watch
Open the watch notification list and clear messages if the model supports it. Removing a notification on the watch does not necessarily delete the original message from the phone.
Support report
What to send if alerts still fail
Collect a useful test result
Include the phone model and operating-system version, watch model, Da Fit version, affected app name, and whether the alert appears in the phone notification panel. A short screen recording of the phone settings can help support identify the missing permission.
