Can't open text messages on my Versa Lite

[Pinkytwo]

My text messages won't open on my versa lite.  Only option is to ignore or open..if open is selected they only open on my phone.  However if I get a Facebook message through messenger I can open and read from watch.

Hi there, @Pinkytwo. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post. 

Please note that this is an expected behavior. When I press open message on my watch, only that message closes, as it should. I pick up the phone, unlock the screen, the message is the next thing I see. If you press open, you are telling the Versa Lite to open the notification on the phone. If you aren't near the phone, don't press open. 

As a friendly reminder, please know that for text messages, name or number of the sender and the message appear. If there is a longer notifications, tap the notification to see the full message. Note that if you clear a notification from your device, the notification is removed from your phone's notification center. If you clear a notification from your phone, the notification is removed from your device.

Notifications tips:

• To delete 1 notification, tap the notification > Clear.
• To delete all notifications at once, swipe to the top of your notifications and tap Clear All.
• For longer notifications, tap the notification to see the full message.
• To exit the notifications screen, press the back button or swipe up.
• If you clear a notification from your device, the notification is removed from your phone's notification center. If you clear a notification from your phone, the notification is removed from your device.
