Sort of. I didn't see this covered before so I thought I would share it. I installed Google Messenger on my Samsung Galaxy S5 and made it the default messaging app. I had a friend text me to see if I was able to reply to a Google Messenger notification from my Gear S. I was able to do it. I clicked on the notification, then clicked the 3 dots at the bottom right of the message, then, reply with sms.
You will see a list of quick reply phrases, but, if you click the keyboard icon on the top right, you can type out a message and send it.
Viber also works with quick reply from notification on the watch.. I guess it is related to the application compatibility with android wear which was recently added..

Hi!
Can we deactivate sms and sound notifications of the samsung app?
I am going to use handcent sms so I dont want that but I cant see how do it.
Go into the samsung sms app, menu > settings > right to the bottom untick notifications.
thanks law!!
The only annoyance I'm finding is when I read a text in my SMS app, it doesn't register as 'read' on the Samsung SMS app or the Social Hub app, so I end up with a bunch of (1) icons next to the apps.

Hi , does anyone know if Does Samsung Gear S support Whatsapp ? Meaning I can see and open Whatsapp messages from the Gear S?
U get the notifications and u can see the full msg there as I checked my self with my watch but u can't reply ... I wish it's possible to reply or even connect viber to it... also it give u notifications of all ur social apps on the phone if u r connected to it.. but if u use it as stand alone it will not as they don't have whatsapp for tizen os yet..
Hello. .. you can get notifications even if your phone at home and your watch has internet and you can view images from what'sapp
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app
Gives a official Whatsapp App and Support for the Gear S, that i can read and send Messages on the Watch?
I can't find Whatsapp for the Gear S.
It allows you to view any new Whatsapp messages received.
It will NOT show any images or media files sent through whatsapp, its text only.
Moreoever, you cannot reply to them.
Having said that - I came across an app called NOTIFICATIONS FOR GEAR S on the galaxy apps store that claims it will allow you to reply, but whenever I do type one and press send, nothing happens.
help needed

I can't remember the name, im sure it s in the playstore. Look for gear s apps and keep scrolling down even when the gear specific apps stop as the r other random gear apps further down the list.
You can reply to whatsapp msgs through the gear s . Press the 3 dots bottom corner and thers a option to quick reply or top right ther is a keyboard tab to type ur own reply
How can i reply. Which app i use to reply on whatsapp
?
First off, lover my Gear S. Just awesome. There is one aching functionality missing for me though: is there any way to delete an email using the native app on the Gear and have it delete that email on the phone? I'm going with a workaround right now using Gear Notification Extender and that helps a lot, but I'd like to have a manageable inbox without scrolling though the messages as notifications, per se. Has anyone got this working using the native Gear email? Thanks in advance for the help.
+1 ..... delete notification implies double work to clear even the message, Android wear has both the "mark as read" and "delete" option
I was on the fence of getting a Gear S because I primarily use hangouts (SMS integrated) as my primary messaging platform. I was aware I'd be able to receive messages on my watch, but not be able to respond. However upon getting my watch and setting it up. I got a hangouts message, swiped to the left, clicked the three dots.. To my surprise I had the option to REPLY or DISMISS. Replying works fantastic with either the preset messages, keyboard, or voice input, and SENDS THE MESSAGE OVER DATA! ( Not even SMS.) This is absolutely fantastic. I figured I'd post this here because I was looking tirelessly for concrete evidence on this before making my purchase and was unable to find any. It's also worth nothing, that if i dismiss the message from my phone, I lose the ability to reply to it from my watch.
I'm not using Gear S Notification extender app either, it's working natively.

Yes, viber and whatsapp work as well.. The only con would be that you can't initiate a new message from the watch like messages.. Also in viber notification, it allows to reply only the first time you see it.. Next time it shows only dismiss option..
I've noticed that i can ONLY reply if i have Android Wear installed also. I don't even have to open it, just have it installed. If I remove it, I lose the functionality to reply.
Good to know! I was using Gear Notification Extender (got my Gear S Thursday) but didn't like how it labeled everything as GNE. I look forward to using this. Now if I could just get the Gear S to last me a full 24 hours...
Great! Thanks for posting this. Some Google apps play nice with Samsung features.

Thanks for this info. I installed Andriod Wear and now I have the reply functionality for hangouts which I did not have prior to doing so.
