Voice Recorder Companion
Sending files from one device to other sometimes needs more attention. Both devices must be connected by Bluetooth or Wifi in order to see each other. Usually it works great but sometimes not. The guide below should help you to find solution in case any connection troubles.
Transfer audio files by Wear Engine
I chose tab Wear Engine on my phone and try to send recording file by option 'Send by WE’ on my watch but nothing happens. What is wrong?
Wear Engine works only for watch paired with phone by HUAWEI Health app. This app you have to install to configure your new watch. WE is part of HMS services. WE uses Bluetooth to send messages and files. You must turn on Bluetooth before start.
