In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of the Galaxy Watch 4 not working with Huawei devices. In between this Huawei and Google fiasco, it was the users who came out as the ultimate. Since the OEM was no longer allowed to use the Google Mobile Services, users were left with no choice but to bid adieu to all the Google apps and services. While there exist quite a few workarounds through which you might be able to welcome back the Google apps, but they either require interaction with untrusted third-party apps or Huawei ends up patching these exploits.
Moreover, its consequences weren’t only felt in the smartphone domain, even the smartwatch that houses the Android-based OS has to face this wrath. In this regard, the latest watch from Samsung comes with WearOS 3 which is based on Android. While it was something to cheer about for the entire tech community, unfortunately, the same cannot be said with Huawei device owners. There were high skeptics that the watch might not even get paired with the device, and the fear indeed came true.
Many Huawei device owners have voiced their concern that the Galaxy Watch 4 is not working with their smartphones. Well, they aren’t even able to initiate the pairing process in the first place. Whenever they are trying to do so, they are instead being greeted with the following error message- ‘This watch isn’t supported on this phone’. If you are also in the same boat, then fret not. In this guide, we will make you aware of a nifty workaround that will help you resolve this issue [using only the official apps!].
