Apple Boosts Galaxy Watch Pairing & Notifications for EU iPhones
- •Apple will simplify Galaxy Watch pairing with iPhones in the EU via iOS 26.3, driven by the Digital Markets Act.
- •New 'proximity pairing' allows one-tap connection for third-party wearables, similar to AirPods.
- •Galaxy Watches will receive full iPhone notifications, including the ability to reply or react.
- •Notifications are a toggle; only one connected device (Apple Watch or third-party) gets them at a time.
- •Developers can test now; features will be fully available to EU citizens in 2026. Not available outside EU.
Why It Matters: EU users gain more choice and easier third-party wearable integration with iPhones due to DMA.
