TL;DR Samsung is working on improved connectivity notifications for Galaxy Ring.
A new notification will let users know how long their ring has been disconnected. An existing notification that alerts users their ring is disconnected will be updated to include the battery charge percentage at the time of disconnection.
Code for these changes is present in the Galaxy Ring Manager app, but we’re not sure when to expect the changes to go live.
Samsung’s Galaxy Ring uses notifications on your phone to keep you up to speed about its battery and connectivity — for example, alerts when battery charge gets down to 15 percent or when connection with the ring has been lost. Today, we’ve seen evidence that those notifications will soon be a little smarter, ideally helping users avoid missing out on tracked health data.
Poking around the latest version of the Galaxy Ring Manager app, we found strings that outline a couple improvements to the Galaxy Ring’s connectivity notifications. First up, the notification sent when a Galaxy Ring is disconnected is getting more useful with the addition of the ring’s battery life at the time the connection was lost, helping users suss out what exactly happened — whether the ring’s battery was drained, or the ring was left behind, or connectivity issues stopped a charged ring from syncing when it still should have.

As you can see in the strings below, these notifications will also remind users to keep their rings charged and avoid letting the battery drain completely to “keep your ring healthy.”
