A Wear OS iPhone Bluetooth bridge for everyday use

Notifications, your way

Receive new iPhone notifications, updates and removals. Filter apps and categories, group messages, hide previews and set quiet hours.

Music on your wrist

Use the watch’s system player for track information, play/pause, next/previous and relative volume. Audio stays on your iPhone or selected headphones.

Local by design

One watch APK uses Apple Notification Center Service (ANCS) and Apple Media Service (AMS). No Internet permission, analytics or persistent message history.

Full setup and troubleshooting guide

Galaxy Watch iOS notifications: questions answered

Does Galaxy Watch6 work with iPhone?

WeakBridge notification mirroring and music controls have been tested on Galaxy Watch6 SM-R930 with iPhone 13 / iOS 26.0. The watch must already be configured; this is not full Galaxy Wearable support on iOS.

Do I need an app on the iPhone?

No. WeakBridge is installed only on the watch. The iPhone provides its built-in ANCS and AMS Bluetooth services. No account or cloud relay is required.

Which watches are supported?

The APK requires Wear OS with Android 13 / API 33 or later. Galaxy Watch6 is the confirmed test device. Other watch models, firmware and music apps need separate testing.

Can I reply to messages or take calls with audio?

The bridge exposes actions supplied by iOS for each notification. It does not add arbitrary text replies, voice-call audio, music streaming or health synchronization.

Will it drain my battery?

There is no continuous scan, periodic keepalive or permanent wake lock. Recovery attempts are bounded. Battery savings have not been quantified in comparable long-term measurements. See the BLE power design and repeatable measurement method.
