IOS notification service is it just for IOS or for both?

Hi
The IOS notification service is just for tethering the IOS notifications or for Android cellphones too?
My cellphone is Android and i want to deactivate this service consuming some battery energy. Have you a solution for that.

My smartwatch is a Finow X5+ (618)

Pablo just gave out a solution. In xda d6 thread, quote"In system app look for serialportancs.apk. This is what controls the ios notification service. "
He removed it and his watch still works well.

Hi Sonia,
When I have stopped both two app named “IOS Notification Push” in Application/Running with “Settings Search”, the BT connection was broken between “Watch Helper”  on my Android smartphone and the watch (X5+).
So my conclusion is that the 2 running applications “IOS Notification Push” (running respectively “smartcardService” and “IosMsgService”) are required for android tethering too and are not just for IOS smartphones.

The hic, that after restarting my X5+ to have these applications running again, the “Watch Helper” on my smartphone is no able to make the connection with the watch!!! The Bluetooth is re-paired correctly.
