causing the summary notification (*nnn new messages*) to be bridged.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to workaround this problem.
Some smartwatches do not display notifications with non-[ASCII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII) characters,
in which can you can enable the option *ASCII text only* in the display settings tab page.
Ongoing notifications shouldn't be bridged, but some companion apps bridge all notifications.
This results in the "monitoring" status bar notification to be bridged.
The workaround is to disable this notification, see [this FAQ](#faq2).

<p>FairEmail fetches a message in two steps:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Fetch message headers</li>
<li>Fetch message text and attachments</li>
</ol>
<p>Directly after the first step new messages will be notified. However, only until after the second step the message text will be available. FairEmail updates existing notifications with a preview of the message text, but unfortunately wearable notifications cannot be updated.</p>
<p>Since there is no guarantee that a message text will always be fetched directly after a message header, it is not possible to guarantee that a new message notification with a preview text will always be sent to a wearable.</p>
<p>If you think this is good enough, you can enable the notification option <em>Only send notifications with a message preview to wearables</em> and if this does not work, you can try to enable the notification option <em>Show notifications with a preview text only</em>. Note that this applies to wearables not showing a preview text too, even when the Android Wear app says the notification has been sent (bridged).</p>
<p>If you want to have the full message text sent to your wearable, you can enable the notification option <em>Preview all text</em>. Note that some wearables are known to crash with this option enabled.</p>
<p>If you use a Samsung wearable with the Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) app, you might need to enable notifications for FairEmail when the setting <em>Notifications</em>, <em>Apps installed in the future</em> is turned off in this app.</p>
