Hi


Facebook does not currently offer an Apple Watch app, so it cannot be added to your Apple Watch.


However, you can still receive notification alerts on your watch when the Facebook app is installed on your Phone:


  • On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Notifications > Facebook > check that Allow Notifications is enabled and that Show in Notification Centre is also turned on.
  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Notifications > scroll down to Facebook - check that the setting is turned on.

Note also that how notifications behave depends on the status of your devices and your settings. With Wrist Detection enabled, in order to bring notifications to your attention as soon as possible:


  • If your iPhone is unlocked, you will receive notifications on your iPhone instead of on your watch.
  • If your iPhone is locked or asleep and your watch is unlocked (regardless of whether the watch screen is asleep or awake) and on your wrist, you will receive notifications on your watch.
  • If your watch is locked or has Do Not Disturb enabled, notifications will go to your iPhone.
