GALAXY WATCH 6 DOES NOT DISPLAY CALLER ID

[Snow林雪]

Hi I have just gotten the new galaxy watch 6 and I came across an issue whereby when someone called me, the caller id of that person will just display as number on my watch.

I've checked all the permission is on for all necessary apps and have reset my watch and reconnect them once again prior to this post. 

All contacts are shown in the watch app but the call log still displays number when I checked the app on my watch

I've notice this is an issue with the wear os version that we have currently with the galaxy watch.

Until today there is no known solution to resolve this issue and we can only report it as a bug.

I'm using truecaller as well and the main issue is with the contacts prefix number bro. Still waiting for them to fix the issue.

I have the same problem with my Watch 6 and S22ultra, have a friend with the same watch but his phone is a A52, he has caller ID with and without country prefix. This problem with caller ID has been known for so long, recently updated do One UI 6/Android 14 and they didn't solve the issue :(

any solution? do you resolve the problem?

I have same problem, after many tryes.. I found out to solve this bug:  you need to remove the counter code from your phone contract i.e .  +968 35576XXXXX.    +968 is my country Oman.   Try it your self.

• Hi, I Robby from Indonesia. I got a solution for this issue. Open your permission manager >> contacts then don't allow wearable apps to access your contacts (this kinda tricky, because you'll find 2 types of apps. 1 "wearable" with yellow box and watch logo, the other  one is "galaxy wearable, or galaxy watch5, or etc". With blue box "WEAR" logo on it. Don't allow the 1 with "WEAR" logo. I just try that and it works. Before this, I used another trick with separating contacts list on my different google account. I made contact list with 2 variant numbers (With +, without +) then in my samsung account I made the original number with (0). This trick make my contact has 3 variant number so the system have variant to translate into caller id. Those 2 trick all works. Cheers!

Thank you so much! Removing the permission for the WEAR app worked for me- I can see all my caller-IDs on my Watch6 now!
