Complications broken in 26.0.2

[kitenski]

Anyone else seeing this? Just tried to change some watch complications and all the ones I’ve used for years aren’t even showing in my list! Apple weather just shows off! This is on the iPhone app, I can select weather from the watch without an issue.

Any watch face that has complications has loads of the standard complications set to off !

Rebooted both phone and watch.

This happened when I first did the watchOS 26 upgrade, but either force-closing, restarting the watch and iPhone, and/or waiting a few hours - I did all of these - fixed it. For what it's worth, this also happened with watchOS 11 / iOS 18.

Same problem here. Rebooted both phone and watch. Still not working.

I'm not seeing any weather complications (and others) at all using the iOS 26 Watch App. I can set them on the watch. Re-paired. Nothing. More than half the complications are missing on the Watch App. Strange

Support had me do a force restart of the watch and phone. Then UN-pair the watch. After the watch restarted from tihis, re-pair it. Set it up as a NEW Watch. Go through all the setup. Then wait on the apps to download.

After all that, it was working perfectly.

Same here since iOS26 and no change in 26.0.1.
I will wait for 26.1 and then contact support, if it isnt working again.

Support said the key is to setup as a new Watch......not from a backup.

As it works on the watch itself, i will wait not having to do this twice.
Apple IMHO can't seriously recommend to millions of watch users to complete reset their watch because watchOS26 is crap.

repairing & setting up as new has fixed it for me, PITA resetting the watch up as new but it's probably not a bad thing to do overall!

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks Apple is doing it intentionally to drive adoption of the smart stack. Even when everything is working as designed, the smart stack widgets update every time they're accessed while the complications update every 15 minutes. Or whenever Haley's Comet comes around, I haven't quite figured out which.

I lost my patience and unpaired the watch, then paired it again as a new watch.
That worked - thanks! SIM is still active.
It took me an hour to restore all my customized watchfaces and there are still a few bugs in the app like missing translations for complications.

Had a similar issue - not all complications showing up and issues with sync https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...dar-does.2467120/?post=34183324#post-34183324

In the end, I had to unpair and start from scratch as backups did not work either.
