WearRelay: iPhone to Wear OS

Want iPhone notifications on your Wear OS watch? WearRelay is designed to bring supported iPhone alerts to compatible watches over Bluetooth, using Apple's Notification Center Service (ANCS).

WearRelay focuses on the notification link, with setup and connection controls right on the watch.

**What you can do**

• Choose an iPhone with the watch's system device picker.
• See supported alerts with details made available by iOS.
• Check whether the relay is connecting, ready, or needs attention.
• Start or stop the relay and review Bluetooth and notification permissions.
• Use connection diagnostics and a real-notification test to troubleshoot setup.

**Compatibility and limitations**

WearRelay offers limited third-party notification support. It does not replace your watch's usual phone setup or provide full iPhone integration. It does not handle phone calls, message replies, media controls, or health syncing.

You need a compatible Wear OS watch with Bluetooth Low Energy and support for system companion-device setup. Keep your iPhone nearby with Bluetooth enabled. Which alerts appear depends on iOS, your watch, notification settings, and the Bluetooth connection. Watch notification permission is required to display relayed alerts.

WearRelay's core design uses a direct Bluetooth connection without an iPhone companion app, account, or cloud notification relay.
