Charge 6 not sending notifications for Google messages only... Other apps No Issues

Just switched from ATT default messages to google messages and google messages isn't sending notifications to my charge 6. My wife has a versa 3 and that stopped with text notifications when she switched to google messages as well. Any help is appreciated. We both rebooted the phone and the Fitbit. Haven't had any other issues.

I have Verizon and was forced to leave their default messages+ to Google messages and my wife and I are having the exact same issue. Sad considering fitbit is a Google product.

We said the exact same thing! How can we be the only ones? Couldn't find anything about it either... Very weird

Yeah it is weird. I mean we still get the notifications on our watch and can reply etc.  However the vibration function is completely bugged. It will not vibrate my watch when i get a text message through Google messages as long as i use rcs chats. If i downgrade my chats to regular sms chats my watch will vibrate and act as normal, but i can't get read receipts or even know if a message i sent actually sent unless i use rcs chats. So i have to pick which is more important. However, even on sms chats, my wife's watch will not vibrate even though our settings are identical. We have android phones which are also owned by Google so basically my Google watch doesn't play well with my Google phone when i use Google messages! How ridiculous is that? Lol

My Charge 6 is doing this too (or not doing in this case). Started a couple days ago. I also noticed that sometimes when I get a text, my phone will play the sound and vibrate but will cut those notifications short and hide the notification as if dismissed by something. I think the issues are related.

Yeah sadly I have done all that and it still does not work. I get the messages but my watch just will not vibrate when they are received if i am using rcs chats.   sms and mms do but i can't get delivery receipts or see text messages delivery progress that way. So i have to pick what i want to work and what i don't. It's very disappointing.
