Hey Samsung,

Your support pages and app listings make it sound like Galaxy Wearable works for everyone, but it's Android-only for Wear OS watches like my Galaxy Watch Ultra. The iOS version in the App Store is ancient—only handles up to Watch 3/Active2. No pairing, no updates, no full features for iPhone users.

This is frustrating as **bleep**. I bought a premium watch, but I'm locked out of basics because you won't build a proper iOS app. Apple even added Notification Forwarding in iOS 26—why can't you meet them halfway?

Knock it off with the ecosystem gatekeeping. Make a real Galaxy Wearable for iPhone, or at least update your docs to say 'Android required.' Tons of us are stuck—fix this.

Thanks.

@Chris4049 Sorry but Galaxy Watches using Wear OS are not compatible with iOS.

In my opinion it's not a Samsung problem. Apple could've update the Google Play wearable or whatever app, but they want you to switch. If I had an iphone i could just say the same for the Buds i guess
