Gear s3 Fb Messenger and WhatsApp calls problem!

[Don1515]

I have a BT version of Gear s3 (Classic) and i connected it with my phone Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017).I can answer regular phone calls from my watch and speak from it! But can you answer and speak from your watch if the calls are from Fb Messenger and WhatsApp ? To me there is only a notification Missed call from Fb Messenger calls on my watch,and ,,Check your phone'' from WhatsApp. I use Messenger and WhatsApp calls more than regular phone calls so for me this is a problem ... any advice ? Sorry for my English

I don't believe it is possible to use your watch for any phone calls that use a third party app like messenger or whatsapp. It will only work with the stock phone app.

It's somewhat limited usage for third-party apps that you have on the phone. Some of my apps, it's only gets notifications, but any other actions, it requires you use your phone for those actions.
