WhatsApp Notification Detail: Android vs. iOS on Suunto Race 2
-
Hi everyone,
I’ve been using the Suunto Race 2 paired with an Android smartphone for a while now. While I love the watch, I’m running into a bit of a frustration regarding WhatsApp notifications.
Currently, when I receive a message, the watch only shows a very limited amount of the text. It’s usually just a snippet, which often forces me to pull out my phone anyway to read the full context.
Is the notification content better on an iPhone?
Specifically for WhatsApp:
Does the Suunto Race 2 display more text/longer messages when paired with iOS? -
Does anyone here use the Suunto Race 2 with an iPhone? I’d love to hear about your experience with WhatsApp notifications—does the watch show the full message or just a short snippet like on Android?

Unfortunately I can’t answer, I am on Android with my Vertical 1 but like you I havn’t the full messages.

i am also an android user with obviously the same issue. i experienced the same with de V1. i thought it will be better with the R2. unfortunately not.

Is there any news on this topic?
Is there perhaps a improvement planned for a future update?
That would be really great! -
Why does the Suunto Race 2 instruction manual say this: “Press the crown button to dismiss the pop-up. If the message cannot be fully displayed on the screen, rotate the crown button or swipe up to view it in its entirety”?
Does reading the full message not work? -

Unfortunately, no. Only a small part of the message is displayed.
I’m sure they’re aware of the problem. I think it’s just not a high priority. -
It has been like that forever. Already complained about it more than a year ago and also asked for the possibility to read full messages in a survey they had about a year ago, but apparently they think it is ok to have something like that in 2026. It’s just embarrassing, when it is a technical standard for ages with other manufacturers
