Default message replies

[mollyc]

I am new to Apple Watch. On my phone I have altered some of the default replies for messages for quick responses. On the phone it allows me to drag them into a specific order, but that order is not translating to the watch. Every other setting I have done through the phone gets transferred. Is there something I am missing?

I have an AW3 (cellular only) and am on iOS 11.

Disable smart replies.

Disable smart replies.

Oh. Well that is not something I would have tried, but thank you! Seems counterintuitive but it works!

Lol I know. I just got my watch last week and it took me a bit to figure out that it needed to be turned off.

The smart replies work contextually I think so if someone says “Hi!” Via text the watch will show you the smart reply like “Hey!” But if you prefer to use a custom reply like “What’s good” the watch isn’t going to know that’s the reply you want.
