Optimized battery charging does not work

Just thought I’d add to this because after 2 years of trying to figure out how to get this to work I think there is 1 important step that I’ve stumbled upon that No one has mentioned.

So yes you do have to have location services on yadda,yards but even with all that on it’s never worked for me. I update every single time there is an update to my phone and it still doesn’t work.

2 nights ago I just happened to put my watch on charge at the same time as my phone (normally I put the watch on charge shortly after getting home after work). Battery life in both phone and watch was approximately 60% remaining.

Woke about an hour later and grabbed my phone and noticed the watch was only charged to 80% along with the phone. Next day I checked the watches graph and sure enough it worked. It’s happened 2 nights in a row since I’ve deployed the same strategy.

So is that it? You literally just need to charge them both at the same time? If so why is this not documented everywhere. I’ll post again when I go back to my normal routine of putting the watch on charge when I get home and comment but very weird.

Thanks for posting this, I have tried to get this to work on my S4 without any success. Even after the Significant Locations setting turned on.

I don't think these features ever worked for me. either on the phone or the watch. Never got a notification about that feature. Phone and watch get's charged at around the same time almost everyday of the week
