NotSoBigBen Posted January 12, 2019 Share Tried to search for the previous time this was discussed but gave up after half an hour of trying! My 820 upgraded to v11 yesterday and today I received Whatsapp notifications on my device, useful for me and others who may need to know when their family or friends have a problem or need you urgently.

Skubarra Posted January 14, 2019 Share I wish they would activate that on the 520!Personally not thrilled by the idea of being notified of every bloody whatsapp while riding. Could be quite distracting when some groups get busy! I assume its inevitable that the 520 will get that functionality as well. I hope you can add some filters!

The Ouzo Posted January 14, 2019 Share I see it hasnt filtered through to the baby 130, doubt it will. But then I'm ok with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongDonkey Posted January 14, 2019 Share Is this to notify you of messages, or an alternative Livetrack?Personally if someone wants to get hold of me, call my phone. Emergency callers (wife) are instructed to phone and let it ring 3 times, hang up and call again, ring 3 times an hang up. I know its then important and will answer or call back as my phone sits in my pocket. Other callers i usually ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notification shows the number thats phoning making it easy to know when its important or not. I also tend not to hear my phone ringing half the time while cycling and my wife's default assumption when I don't answer is that I'm laying dead in a ditch. Ah the good old days when I arrive home from a long cycle, take out my phone and see 10 MC's and know all hell will break loose when I enter the house...
