Trouble installing the app?
Please see Wear OS Google Play Store issues
SETUP
1. Make sure you have main app updated to v9.43 or newer
2. Find the new “Notification Bubbles” section in phone app
3. Install this theme/plugin to both phone and watch
4. Open “Status Bubbles” on the watch
5. You will get a prompt to enable Notification Access on phone
6. The notification bubbles should appear on your watch face
I show it in a short video:
USAGE ON WATCH
► Tap any notification bubble to expand
→ “Phone+Eye” button to open on phone
→ “Block” button to blacklist app (long press)
→ “Trash” button to dismiss notification on phone+watch
→ “Mic” or “Keyboard” buttons to reply
→ Emoji buttons to send quick reply

→ Open app on phone for more settings
SETTINGS ON PHONE
► Tap on “Status bubbles” in the Wear Cloud Editor
→ Customize all colors
→ Options to override the theme colors
→ Some colors have transparency control (!)
→ Press “Apply” to see changes on the watch
→ Button to blacklist/whitelist screen
► “Funnel” icon in Wear Cloud Editor → black/whitelist directly
→ You can only blacklist apps on the watch (“Block” button)
→ Use “+” floating action button to blacklist/whitelist phrases
→ Tap a list item to edit
→ Swipe left to remove apps/phrases from the list
→ Effects of the filter changes appear on the watch right away!
BLACKLIST/WHITELIST
► Whitelisting overrides black lists.
So if you have blacklisted an app, but its notification includes a whitelisted phrase it will still show up. Also, if you blacklist and whitelist the same phrase it will still be shown.
► Phrase filters are case insensitive
► Use leading and trailing spaces cleverly!
► Wildcards might come if requested
COMPATIBILITY
The notification listener component running on the phone can have compatibility issues with notification control / rearrange systems such as Samsung Good Lock / Quick Star or similar. The option “Reorder notifications by last update” in QuickStar in particular is known to interfere with my Notification Icons app [thank you to u/gamefan5 for the info].
