Watch contact names not showing for me in messages. Rebooted both devices.

Open the watch app on your phone, scroll to settings-reset-reset sync. My contacts were back after doing this

It worked! Thanks!

Contact is now syncing to my Apple watch with this update. Yes!

Same here. And tried deleting profile like others suggested from beta 2. And still not working.

My iPhone 7+ has been updating since 10:30 am. Sigh... If I hold the power button, it tells me that it will restart when the update is finished, so I guess it's still alive. <g> Thank goodness it isn't my primary phone,

Installing now. Hoping the watch contacts fixes

It has been fixed in this release!

I had this issue too! Took 2 hours to finish loading update.

Mines still not fixed. I wonder what’s going on. Restarted watch and iPhone.

I’ve also tried this and my reset sync data isn’t resetting should I try unpairing and repair it? I just don’t wanna screw up the cellular data plan.

After doing the reset sync you will not notice if it reset or not because it doesn’t do or show anything on the watch screen. Did you check your messages on the watch after doing the reset sync? I went into my messages and my contacts were there.

 

[wetermommy]

I unpaired and repaired and it works!

Woohoo!!! Contact names sync on Apple Watch are working again!

I'm seriously considering going with the iOS 12 beta (Dev or Public) because the battery life on the Official iOS 11.4.1 is less than desirable. Just curious who's using the Beta 12 and official Apple Watch OS (4.3.2) on the original series Apple Watch and what problems if any has occurred besides the now fixed contact issues?

None. The only one was the contact issue which is now fixed.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Just curious Garz, you're using an "original series" Apple Watch with iOS 12 (beta) on your iPhone?

I have a series 2 Apple Watch

I had this issue too! Took 2 hours to finish loading update.

I was finally able to force a restart. It finished the installation after that. All is well now.

 

[camaroz1985]

Had it on my backup SE since the public betas came out. I think I'm going to pull the trigger and jump in on my daily driver X now.

My Apple News widget doesn’t work in beta 3. It just says, “Read Stories in Apple News.” It doesn’t show the headlines. Anyone else?
