Question Google Messages keeps notifying me "Device pairing your messages are available on the device you paired."

Google Messages keeps notifying me "Device pairing your messages are available on the device you paired."

I searched the web and saw plenty of suggestions on disabling notifications in various ways ("web" notifications, etc) but none of those work for me.

If I disable "web" notifications I no longer get the red star over the app title in the Windows Chrome browser tab where I have Messages opened. I rely on that to let me know I received a text when working on the computer. All other ways to disable notifications result in not knowing I received a text.

This is really annoying. It can occur many times per hour. Surely there must be a way to make it stop without disabling notifications that I do rely on.

I also often get this notification, but I guess I'm not as annoyed about it as you are. Have you tried disabling notifications for "Background Tasks" or "Other", in the other category of notification settings for the Messages App?

I don't know what version of Android others are using but I've dug through every possible area of notifications settings including for the Messages app and even the "web" notifications setting that's hard to find and, as I said, none of it helped other than things that end up disabling the notifications I do need.

This is a ridiculous bug if you ask me. And yes it's extremely annoying. I'm running three businesses and need notifications to be at least resonably efficient, and I would like the ability to disable useless ones let alone useless ones that seem to pop up as often as every five or ten mintues for half an hour or an hour at times like this one does for reasons I can't fathom.

There is probably no way to stop it. Hopefully they'll provide a way to control it in a subsequent OS update.

Meanwhile, I'd be thrilled if someone can help me find a way.

I should perhaps point out that I recently added a smartwatch to my phone's Bluetooth pairing. Oh, wait -- it didn't pair with normal Bluetooth pairing but rather some direct method with the Zepp app they had me download, then a QR code scan to link the watch and the phone.

I don't "think" this is what's causing the notification to keep popping up so much since it never was that much of an issue before but maybe the watch is reminding me of it often even though it's only there on the phone in the notifications section one time. Still, there has to be a way to stop it, and nothing about the watch seems to give me that kind of granular control over this one notification without disabling a lot of other notifications I do want to see.

It's an Amazfit Bip 6. Again, the phone is a Samsung S24 Ultra, running the most current Android version. On Verizon.

Thanks!

It seems the notification appears on the phone's notifications tray every time I go to the Messages tab in my Chrome browser in my Windows computer -- which is darned often. There's no setting there that I can find that will enable me to stop this. The only option even close is "Get alerts for new messages" and obviously I need that on.

Kinda nuts getting a notification on the phone and thus also on the watch every time I go to the Messages tab in the browser. It's not like I've closed Messages and opened it again. I'm simply clicking to see the tab again.

Any idea how to go to a Chrome or Messages forum to ask for ideas and at least put in a request for an update?
