Add Bounce Friends as Contacts for Messaging in the Garmin Jr. App

Messages can be sent from one user of a Bounce™ smartwatch to another as long as they are set up as contacts for each other through the Garmin Jr.™ app. 

Step 1: Add a Connection

Any other Bounce user you want to add as a contact will also need their family to be a connection within your Garmin Jr. app. You can find steps to add a family connection in: Add or Remove Connections in the Garmin Jr. App


Step 2: Add Contact

You can add contacts to your child's Bounce by following the steps below. 

  1. Open the Garmin Jr. app.

  2. Select Home.

  3. Select the child you are wanting to add the contact to.

  4. Select Settings.

  5. Select Contacts.

  6. Select the 'White plus icon in blue circle' next to the desired contact.

    • If you want to remove a contact select the 'white minus icon in red circle' next to the desired contact.

  7. Select the White check mark with blue background.

Once the contact is set in your app the parent/admin of that other child's Bounce will need to follow the same steps in their Garmin Jr. app. 


Step 3: Sync Devices

Both Bounce watches will need to be synced for the new contacts to show on the watch. If the watch is not near to the paired phone it will attempt to sync over LTE or Wi-Fi.
