I tried resetting both my phone and watch, and re-installing the app from playstore but it results to no avail.

It bothers me as when I use other apps in my phone, the app keeps opening randomly and shows blank white screen. This slows down my phone. It bothers me as when I open cameras, the camera video recording stop because the galaxy watch 4 manager app automatically opens in the background.

Please make an update regarding this problem because I'm so tired of it re-opening.

I wonder if the app needs a certain permission? Check the app info page to see.

The app allows all permission, so I think it would not be the cause of the problem. Currently, it is still opening randomly and shows blank screen for a second and go back.

Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand your concern with your Galaxy watch 4 manager plug-in popping up randomly on your device and I would be happy to look into this further for you. Just to clarify, did you restore both devices from back up after resetting?

Yes, I use SmartSwitch app for restoring my files and data after resetting.

Also, for the record, the reason for resetting my watch and re-installing the plug-in and manager is because of the watch4 manager app opening randomly and shows blank white screen. So this problem is happening before and still happening currently.

"Yes, I use SmartSwitch app for restoring my files and data after resetting."

I would like to ask if you can look into it. It is annoying that it keeps opening until now.

Thank you for that information. I would recommend resetting your watch and uninstalling the wearables app and the watch plug-in app. Then try to set up your watch without restoring from back up to allow us to rule out any third party software that may be interfering with the function of the watch app.

I tried to re-install the wearable app and watch plug-in once again, reset the watch without back up, and it still happens. Here is a proof that everything was setup without restoring from back up (SmartSwitch) and the manager app keeps opening as of this reply.
