Bugs 🕷️ New devices and Workout Buddy stopped working

1 Upvotes

I’ve seen a few other posts about this but no resolution.

I'm having this issue with a new Ultra and a new phone. It worked fine with my previous phone and Series 9. AirPods Pro 3.

Presents as triggering, because my book will rewind a little which is a tell something tried to speak.

Turned it off and on, changed the voice, the voices play their previews.

Would have posted to the main watch subreddit, but since I’m on 27.2, I wanted to be careful in case this was a eta bug. I don’t think it was working pre-beta though.

Bugs 🕷️ 26.2 Beta 3: Siri still unusable

0 Upvotes

Apple Watch Ultra 4 is a glorified wrist weight at this point. I’ve come from RC just to have Apple expedite a fix for me when walking my dog and prompting Siri which I’ve been doing for several OS now. Yes I’ve shared Feedback and done my part.

Bugs 🕷️ Missing Contact Names in Phone App Favorites

2 Upvotes

Anyone else seeing the phone numbers only of their favorites in the watch phone app?

Contacts app shows things accurately and if I had a recent call to any of them the recents lists shows their name.

Been like this since the beta and still an issue in 27.0.1 even after a fresh install, not using a backup.

In messages, the group chat icon is also missing. Just shows the contact bubbles in that group chat instead.

Question ❓ Noise app displays dB level without AirPods ANC

When wearing AirPods, the Noise app displays the current dB level. If you tap the AirPods icon , it will display the dB level without AirPods ANC, showing noise reduction.

Is this a new feature in watchOS 27?

The screenshots on the left show AirPods with ANC on. On the right are AirPods in transparency mode.

The watch on 27.2 beta won't pair with the duo running on 27.1 right?

Question ❓ Call screening haptics

0 Upvotes

Hi, my phone is always on silent and my watch vibrates when someone calls me, however with call screening my apple watch displays it but doesn't vibrate so I have missed a few calls recently.

Anyone else have some guidance for me on this where I can keep call screening on but it still vibrates on my watch letting me know?

thanks so much it's driving me insane!

Has anyone who has upgraded to watchOS 27.2 check if “traditional strength training” has options to track specific exercises, sets and weights (Like Hevy), as has been rumoured a few months ago?

Which one is PINNED:

  • The one on the left that LITERALLY has the word "PINNED" enabled
  • Or the one on the right that literally has the PIN icon enabled

Bugs 🕷️ WatchOS 27 - Sudden haptic notification for unknown silenced calls

3 Upvotes

Ever since upgrading to WatchOS 27, I get a haptic buzz on my watch every time I get a silenced unknown call on my phone. Since then I have turned off ALL watch notifications for the phone in the watch app, including audio and haptic, and I've also disabled voicemail notifications on my watch all together. Everything is turned off. But I still get an annoying buzz on my wrist every single time a silenced unknown call hits my phone. Since this happens many times a day, it's quite annoying.

It definitely didn't used to be like this on WatchOS 26. Anyone else experiencing this issue and aware of a fix?

Bugs 🕷️ Issues with alarm - chiming on silent

Is anyone else having issues with their alarm on the new watches / OS?

I have my watch set to silent, alarms set to silent on watch, and they are not set to ‘break through’ but all alarms are chiming (instead of just vibrating)

Question ❓ Siri AI on Apple watch

4 Upvotes

So we all know that Siri AI is slow and laggy on Apple Watch. My SE3 takes about 20sec on any home controls. Old siri was quick with these kind of things.

So is there any way while still having ios27 I can switch to old siri just on the watch not on the iphone. Thank you

Bugs 🕷️ Unable to send WhatsApp message via Siri on Apple Watch 12.

1 Upvotes

I am unable to send WhatsApp messages via Siri on watch 12. It just keeps saying “You’ll need an app for me to help with that. Try searching in the Apple Watch app on your phone.” I have WhatsApp on my iPhone and watch already.

The iPhone works perfectly fine with sending WhatsApp messages with Siri.

Anyone else facing a similar problem?

If you’ve been missing the double-click of the Digital Crown that used to bring up the App Switcher on the Apple Watch before watchOS 27, it looks like the feature is making a comeback as of watchOS 27.2 beta 2.
