In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of work profile notifications not working on Galaxy Watch 4/5. The smartwatch from the South Korean giant is among the most popular players in this market. However, since it is an offering from Samsung, the latter has made sure that some features remain exclusive to Samsung devices. In this regard, we recently talked about the DND sync functionality [and how you could enable it on non-Samsung devices].
And now, we are witnessing another such exclusivity that needs to be addressed at the earliest. If you have added any app to your work profile, then the Galaxy Wearable app will not show notifications from those apps on your Watch 4/5. if you own a Samsung device, then you could easily get a hold of such work profile notifications from Settings > Notifications > “Most recent on phone or watch”.
However, for non-Samsung devices, there’s no native way of getting this job done. As a result of which, users end up missing some important notifications from Gmail, Calendars, Teams, Slacks, and the like. With that said, there does exist a nifty method through which you could easily get these work profile notifications on any Android device. So without further ado, let’s check out how this could be carried out.
Fix Galaxy Watch 4/5 Work Profile Notifications not working
- Download and install the WorkNotifier app from the Play Store [Source Code: GitHub].
- Then launch it and tap Yes in the Notification Listener Service pop-up.
- Now select WorkNotifier, enable the toggle next to Allow Notification Access, and tap Allow.

As of now, the app is still in its early stage and has some useful yet basic features missing. Primary among them is its inability to recognize the apps installed on the device, thereby forcing us to take a longer route to copy that app’s URL via Play Store. Anyways, it does seem to be doing its main job without any issues. With that said, if you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments.
