The South Korean company confirmed at CES 2017 that iOS support for some of its smartwatches would be available soon, but it did not offer a specific date.īut that's no longer needed since Samsung has just announced that iOS compatibility for its Gear wearables is now fully enabled on a wide range of devices. Now that you have the Fit 2 and your phone talking to one another and playing nice, take a second and update the apps that are currently installed on the Gear.Rumors about Samsung bringing iOS support to its smartwatch lineup emerged a few months ago when an iOS version of Samsung Gear Manager leaked online. One thing to watch for is the lack of the Gear app automatically activating the default SMS application on your device find it in the list and check its box. Just before you finish the setup process, you'll need to go through the list of installed apps on your phone and check the box next to each one you want the Gear app to push alerts to your wrist. Once gain, you'll need to install additional apps and services but instead of having to manually install each one your phone will handle the process on its own. With the Gear app installed or updated, launch it and follow the prompts. Even if the Gear app is installed, odds are there will be a pending update. To begin, you'll need to open the Galaxy Apps app on your phone and install the Samsung Gear app if it's not already installed. The process for setting up a Samsung product on a Samsung device is a bit more streamlined than a competing Android phone. It's annoying having to bounce between the Play store and the Gear app to finish the setup process, but there's not much we can do about it. These apps are required for the Fit 2 to interact and work properly with your device. You can install the apps ahead of time to speed up the setup process. During the process you'll see a few different prompts asking you to install three total apps in addition to the Samsung Gear app: S Health, Samsung Accessory Service and Gear Fit 2 Plugin. With the app installed, follow the prompts to connect your phone and the Fit 2 via Bluetooth.
The first thing you'll need to do is install the Samsung Gear app from the Play store. The Gear Fit 2 will work with any Android device running Android 4.4 and above.
