Garmin Express is not compatible with iPhones or other iOS devices. Garmin Express is a desktop application designed to manage and update Garmin devices, and it is not supported on mobile platforms like iOS.
The key points are:
- Garmin Express is a Windows and Mac desktop application, not a mobile app.[12]
- Garmin Express is not compatible with iPhones, iPads, or other iOS devices.[11][13]
- The main reasons cited are that Bluetooth connectivity is too slow and there is a need for a high-speed internet connection, which mobile devices may not always have.[13]
- Users are recommended to use the Garmin Connect mobile app instead to sync data and manage their Garmin devices on the go.[9][13]
- Garmin has not addressed the lack of Garmin Express support for iOS, likely because their focus is on the Garmin Connect app as the primary mobile solution for their customers.[13]
In summary, Garmin Express is a desktop application that is not compatible with iPhones or other iOS devices. Garmin users with iOS devices should rely on the Garmin Connect mobile app for device management and data syncing instead.[9][11][12][13]
