Google Assistant running in background

[steveojp]

Hi there,

Just updated my Sense and I was wondering if there's a workaround. Seems that you need to have google assistant open in your background (iPhone) for it to work on your watch. Once I force close it it doesn't work on my watch until it's back in my background again. Not a huge deal if it's normal but I thought I would ask.

Thanks!

Hi @steveojp,

From my own experience, there's no workaround.  Even when the Sense had just Alexa, I would have to have the Alexa app running in the background on my phone.
