I have a hard time understanding why we buy an "APPLE" phone and then buy a watch from a competing brand, especially since using it on an iPhone reduces the functions of the Samsung by 50%.
Cannot believe this worked…. I was getting ready to go buy an Apple Watch . Just save me a bunch of Money!!!!! Thank you!!! Worked with iPhone 14 and galaxy4.
Omg it worked🎉I was about to return the watch now and even the return was not getting accepted. And finally I found your video ..no one has found this trick ..thanks a lot ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Madam hege anta heli.. I downloaded app using android and now trying to connect to iphone but phone asking to connect to new phone reset have to be done and all data and downloaded apps gonna erase
@@yadavom734 im not entirely sure how to reply to messages but unfortunately the sync your health data function is unavailable wait for the app to update more I guess
This is so perfect! I have a galaxy watch 4 and have been thinking of getting an Apple Watch since I just got the iPhone 15promax! It will be super great if they do get the fitness stuff to work too. This definitely saved me from switching to apple watch…something I am honestly not ready for ❤
You can bypass the watch setup page. To skip the watch setup page, just tap the watch icon a few times until it tells you to hold it for 3 seconds. Then, hold it down for a few seconds until you see "Starting..." pop up. But heads up-you'll still need to sign in to your Google account later to use the Play Store. Without an Android device, you’ll only able to use the watch as a digital watch.
Hello, very nice video and well described. I just don't understand one thing. When I buy a watch, there is no google store in it. I need to have them paired with my Samsung phone first. Or can it be worked around? Thank you. Does the pressure gauge work?
It does work. Thank y'all for that. The only issue I see so far is it is a bit slow in receiving notifications and phone calls. Also I am not sure it will pair with samsung health or not. 🤠
Dude you’re like a Jedi best and I mean the Best well explained video I’ve Ever seen direct and too the point you’d make a Excellent grade school teacher kids will love you
Thank you John for the video. Well explained.MY problem is that the Galaxy 4 watch is in initial set up mode and stuck at the first screen not allowing me to go to past the Welcome screen. It says to "Get started in the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone" I am trying to get around that to get to the Play Store but cant.
Thanks for the video. I connected my iPhone to the Galaxy watch Ultra, but I still see the little phone icon on the watch's home screen. Do you know if this is something that can be turned off?
This video was very helpful, I have been trying to connect my Samsung watch with my iPhone for a very long time but I couldn’t, but it possible now because of your video thanks for helping out
Thanks for the information :) I just wanted to ask - it is possible to reply to notifications (for example: answer to whatsapp messages) from the watch when this app is installed?
I tried, and I use ecg, and I really couldn't use ECG even measure my blood pressure. There is a app on watch named Merge Watch who could let you see yours notification on android but when I tried didn't work but maybe I did something wrong. for now I brought an apple watch, you can have for now more compatibility. Sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian
Thanks I have an android phone connecting to my galaxy watch 4 normally if i get an iphone can i connect my watch to iphone through merge and still connecting it to my android ?
How did you add the Google account on the watch? I have an iPhone and I am not able to figure out anyway on how to add the Google account on the watch using the iPhone?
Et ça fonctionne ! C'est bien une Galaxy Watch 4 sur un iphone 14+. J'ai installé l'appli Galaxy Wearable sur mon Galaxy S10. J'ai réinitialisé la Galaxy Watch. J'ai installé l'appli Merge sur la montre et j'ai suivi le tuto proposé par John MT pour la connecter à l'iphone et... super. Je n'ai pas tout testé mais on reçoit les notifications, les appels, répondre aux appels. On verra pour la partie sommeil et activité cardiaque... Je vous dirai demain. Merci John MT !
Does the Samsung Health Monitor(SHM) work with iphone13 pro? Probably not, just wishful thinking. would it be possible to get ECG and or Blood pressure measument to work with just the watch alone?
Check for XDA-Dante63 Watch4, there's a long long forum thread on how to solve it. You still need a droid phone to calibrate the Blood Pressure every 3 months, but otherwise you can use the watch by itself. Do sport tracking with GPS, measure BP, etc. It just won't receive notifications or anything.
Hi there, i have managed to connect iphone & galaxy watch5 with the Merge app. Notifications now work. Thank you. I would like to know how to use the Samsung Health app to monitor my steps & sleep. The Sumsung Health app that is on my Iphone 2022SE, will not connect to my galaxy watch5. The reason i bought the watch was to monitor my health stats. Would appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.
Do you know what to do when transferring it to a new phone cause ive connecetd it and the warch says yo check the phone to conplete setup but theres nothing on the phone...
Any idea if it’s working but all the time loose connection? I need to connect it manually again. Same with iPhone and my correction headphones- every single day I need to connect it manually. iPhone 15 pro and galaxy watch sm-r800
Does it mean that this will work simultaneously while the watch is connected to an Android phone? This is great if you are someone who use Android and iPhone at the same time.
Thx mate. Been using my gear s3 for the last 6 months. The watch is still great but It’s getting a little old. Paired my watch 4 which has been sitting in its box for about 10 months. Now amazing to be able to pair the watch 4 with my iPhone. Thx again
Hi firstly to be able to get a day and a half of battery life on the galaxy watch 4. You need to turn everything off. The only things I have turned on are calls notifications and messages. Once you start turning on biorhythms on this model the battery life becomes very poor. I’m just happy that someone has designed the app merge. Now I can hook my watch 4 to my iPhone. I hope this helps you.
How did you use the google play store app without a phone i cant use it because it sais that i need to connect my samsung/android phone so how did you add a google account?
I haven’t been able to use my watch 4 for MONTHS! Just happened to run into your video! Thank you! Now I can use it again!
Is it still working?
does it work with apple pay ?

Great!! I will do exactly as you say. One question: Can I see in my iPhone stuff like daily steps, heart rate and so on?
Can you use google Assistant on your watch with the merge app? Like does it also allow for internet connection?
Just what I needed! Awesome! Works for me on Galaxy Watch 4 with iPhone 13 Pro.

Did you try the fitness apps? Let me know I wanna switch to iphone 15
But how can i upload merge for watch if I cant even log in account in play store
Exactly… it’s so annoying.
This looks awesome. I have a question though, what happens to the watch's connection with the primary Android phone that it was originally setup with?
Is it possible to connect it to Galxy Watch app on Iphone? I really like this app and I need it
Hi John, Can I connect an Iphone to the watch without any other android phone connected to it? This would be great help thanks!😀

How u connect it to iPhone?!

No only read notifications
Can I view my exercise stats on iPhone and watch 4 too.
Can I use everything on watch, even I don't have a android phone like bio impedance, ecg, heart rate?
Have you found out?
yes you can
I tried, and I use ecg, and I really couldn't use ECG even measure my blood pressure. There is a app on watch named Merge Watch who could let you see yours notification on android but when I tried didn't work but maybe I did something wrong. for now I brought an apple watch, you can have for now more compatibility. Sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian

Great share bro. It worked. Although i had to run around the settings, but in the end, I can get notifications. Great job
Superb! Super clear and easy to follow.
Does it _replace_ the connection to your android phone with iphone connection or can you have both at the same time?
Can you still use the health app to record workouts and upload them to Strava? That's all I really care about.
Did you figure this out? Thanks!
@@aleksandars9254 nope haven't tried it yet didn't buy an iPhone because of the unknown

This app requires a subscription to work. Like this comment so people don't waste their time like I did
Does it work for the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic?
yes
Does it work for galaxy watch 6?
Thanks a lot man, it actually worked!
Does this allow apps from google wear? Or is this watch independent enough on wi fi?

Does this work with the wifi version of a galaxy 4 classic

Currently you still need an Android phone (not necessarily Samsung) at least once for the initial setup. They're working on an alternative though
