How can I add contacts to the emergency feature? I see contacts in the Contacts app on the watch, but no contacts show up to enable the emergency notifications.

Open the Galaxy wearable app and select your watch then scroll down to watch settings then scroll down to safety and emergency then click on emergency contacts and you should be able to add them

They are blank on my phone as well. But I see contacts in the Contacts app. I'm using Outlook to manage contacts if that helps. Screenshot_20230102_201450_Contacts.jpg

I do use the default Contacts app, but it syncs with Outlook.
