Watch OS8 is not syncing contacts. When I go to messages it will show group names but not the names of the individuals in the group. It will also not show single and nothing in contacts. I have contact syncing turned on. I have don't a restore and set up as new and issue remains. Anyone else having this issue?
Watch OS8 not syncing contacts
I have the same issue. OS8 update did not synch contacts. The reset synch data button in the settings menu also does not seem to work. Favourites numbers remain, and calling numbers show when i get an incoming call, but no names, and no contacts
Unpairing and setting up as a new watch did not resolve.
I have the same problem, the contact list on the watch is empty (in the contact app) and no name is displayed when I receive a call.
I have tried multiple restores and still not working. I am going to get a test phone and see if it is a phone issue. I will update if it is related to phone.
NA
Issue is still occurring with beta 3 on both phone and watch.
I just tried a test phone with iOS 15 and the issue is still occurring.
Same problem here. I submitted through the Feedback app.
iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 15 beta 2 & 3), Watch Series 5 (watchOS 8 beta 2 & 3). Also attempted brand new installation of the watch (not an upgrade / restore).
Currently experiencing the same issue with both update and fresh install of beta 4. Feedback submitted.I even tried to manually remove the contacts app from the watch and reinstall it.
I'm having the same issue no improvement through the betas. un-pair and re-pair doesn't work. Reset sync data doesn't work. Bummer
Same problem here.. I use my watch to check texts and often times reply.. not really easy to do that anymore since I’m not sure who I’m talking to anymore. Really apple? You give us the option to rollback on iPhone ‘ iPad but not watch OS.. I wonder why, because this is a simple coding issue that can be fixed very easily but instead we are forced to deal with this garbage until HOPEFULLY they fix this bug, I spoke with apple support, sent in my feedback, still unable to rollback. Seems like apple really likes to make people shoot themselves in the foot, should have never upgraded to GarbageOS 8 , if i come up with any solutions or progress i will be sure to bump this to all of you. Godspeed
WatchOS 8 Beta 5 may have fixed this - most of my contacts are showing up now. I've just forced a reset sync for them to see if both iCloud and Exchange contacts sync correctly.
This exact problem started happening to me with iOS 15.1 Beta 1 and WatchOS 8.1 Beta 1. Have tried almost everything with no solution, yet. Any ideas?
