Description

Stay in touch with friends and family. Enjoy the security and connectivity of global messaging with the Garmin Messenger™ app. Pair with your compatible inReach® satellite communicator for fast, easy direct messaging and interactive SOS that’s not limited to cellphone coverage areas (active satellite subscription required). The app supports group messaging as well as photo and voice messaging when paired with a compatible Garmin device (1). Automatic switching between internet, cellular, and satellite networks gives you the best connectivity and efficiency for all your messaging. When you have connectivity, the app will work seamlessly even if your inReach device is turned off. Invite your friends and family to download the app to stay connected and keep the conversation going on and off the trail. With the use of the LiveTrack™ feature, loved ones can follow your location in real time (2) and see data such as distance, time and elevation. (1) See compatible devices at garmin.com/p/893837#devices (2) When used with your compatible smartphone and the Garmin Earthmate® app or when used with your compatible inReach® technology-enabled Garmin device. Note: Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices. It is the responsibility of the user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used.

  • Can’t sign in on App

    I just got the Garmin Inreach Mini 2 and am going through the steps to set it up and activate it through the App. I updated the Inreach, paid for the subscription and am trying to connect the device to the App. The App says the device is active and I need to sign in. I go to “Sign in as owner” input my sign in info and it says “Device is already active. Sign in as owner”. It’s just stuck in this loop without any way of proceeding. Unless there is a way through this, it’s just an expensive paperweight

    Just make it easy.
  • Terrible integration across apps

    Garmin creates many apps but the integration across them is clunky and counterproductive, especially if you move residence to different countries. Messenger does not play ‘nicely’ with ‘Explore’. So frustrating.
  • Keeps Crashing

    App lags a lot and it keeps crashing. When it crashes, any time I open the app and click on a contact, the app closes. This happens a lot!

    I bought the garmin tracking device for a friend. Crazy hard to get the app. To work.
  • Accessibility failure

    Responding on behalf of a blind user who is preparing for a Kilimanjaro climb, he purchased the inReach Mini 3 for safety. The Garmin Messenger app does not expose the compose field, Send button, or Add button to VoiceOver. Messaging is impossible independently. For a device advertised as emergency communication, this is unacceptable. Accessibility is not optional in safety equipment.
  • Not Impressed

    Thought this would be a nice adder to send messages from a new Fenix 7x Pro. Little did I know you can’t see or message contacts shared from your phone unless they have the Garmin Messenger app installed. Can’t message iMessage users either. Garmin should figure a way to bridge the gap, until then this is a inferior messaging app.
