Google Assistant on Galaxy Watch is useless when trying to send text messages or calls, when you say "hey Google, send a message to [contact]" the following appears. How can I fix this? I am able to send messages from my phone, by asking Google the same prompt.

One thing I just found out recently with Tellus every time I get a phone call and answer it on my watch, warm messages. You get billed a dollar for every time you answer it. Because it's considered a call forwarding, so be prepared that the price that you pay per month is going up. That's a hidden cost that telus doesn't tell you about

Hi Nabeel000,

The issue is likely caused by Google Assistant not having the required permissions on your Galaxy Watch to access personal results such as messages or contacts. Here's how you can fix it:

Open Google Assistant Settings on Your Watch: Swipe up on your watch face to open the app drawer. Open the Google Assistant app.

Grant Permission for Personal Results: Tap the three-dot menu (or Settings icon) in the Google Assistant app. Look for an option like Personalization or Personal Results. Enable Personal Results for Google Assistant.

Ensure Permissions Are Enabled: On your phone, open the Galaxy Wearable app. Go to Watch Settings > Apps > Google Assistant. Make sure permissions for Contacts, SMS, Microphone, and Phone are granted.

Sync Google Account with Watch: Open the Google Assistant app on your phone. Ensure your Google account is properly synced and has the same permissions for the watch.

Restart your Galaxy Watch and the paired phone to ensure the changes take effect.

Try saying, "Hey Google, send a message to [contact]." It should now work without prompting for additional permissions.

If the problem persists after these steps, resetting Google Assistant on the watch and setting it up again might help.

Thank you.
