Upgraded to WatchOS 5 and installed Podcast on the iPhone again. However, I could not find any trace of the Podcast app on the watch! I have some podcasts downloaded on the phone, and let the watch sit on the charger for around 1-2 hour. However, I could not find the app on the watch. Did I miss anything?
Got a tip for us?

I upgraded to WatchOS 5 last night, and the podcast app is in the array of apps shown when you push the digital crown (Same with Walkie Talkie). It was on the edge, so look carefully. You can also see the little purple microphone icon when you open the Watch app on your phone and tap App Layout.
After restarting my watch I get a "hollow" podcast app. Nothing happens when I tap it.

Given that it's been like that for several hours, can you clarify just how patient I need to be?
Sorry, mate, I don't know. Looks like others are having a similar issue.
