I think there are more issues also, not only being forced to have the app opened in order to receive notifications. There another things that should be easily handled. For example:
- I’m receiving a notification when I’m receiving a WhatsApp message on a muted channel. If I have the channel muted, why on earth should I receive a notification??? It’s really stupid.
- After checking the notification in the phone, I still need to go to the watch and remove the notification. That’s also really bad. The watch should know that this notification doesn’t exists anymore in the mobile and remove it!!
Another thing I would like to mention is why there isn’t any swimming activity in the Watch?? There are super strange sports but not swimming when the watch is water resistant, why??
Really this watch and its software is really far away of being a beta version.
