Why can't I send or receive texts when my phone is turned off?? I have a galaxy watch 6 classic and a fold 5. I a cannot send or receive texts messages when my phone is turned off. I have tried Samsung messaging app and Google Messaging app. Either works. I have had older model watches 3, 4 and 5. All LTE through At&t. They all worked fine in this situation. So I don't understand why Samsung would take this option away for for it's latest devices!!! They need to fix this ASAP!!!
Do any of you turn mobile data off on the watch? Even though text is not, technically, data feed driven, it may need the mobile data on for the texts to com/go through. I haven't tested that theory yet, because I don't get/send many texts independent of being connected to my phone, and the one person who messages me the most uses FB messenger, not text.
