Notifications on the Gabb Watch

Your child will receive notifications on their Gabb Watch 3e for calls, texts, alarms, timers, and more.

To open a notification, tap the notification screen that pops up. Notifications display on the watch screen for as long as youโ€™ve set the screen timeout. For example, if you have the watchโ€™s screen timeout set to 60 seconds, the notification will display for 60 seconds.

If the screen turns off before the notification is opened, turn the screen back onโ€”the notification will still be on the screen.

If a notification is cleared before it is opened, your child can instead open the corresponding app (Messages, Phone, etc.) to see what they missed.

Your child can also clear notifications on their Gabb Watch. They can swipe away the notifications one by one, press the back button (top button) to dismiss them one by one, or press the power button (bottom button) to dismiss all notifications.

Apps & settings โš™๏ธ

You can customize the settings of your Gabb Watch 3e, and it comes with some pre-installed apps like an alarm, calculator, and flashlight. The Gabb Watch also comes with two games: Gabb Go and Mimic.
