Message filters on Apple Watch

[MrMars]

While on watchOS 7.0 I was able to choose message filtering directly on the watch (known and unknown) now since updating to 7.0.1 those filter options are gone. I thought that was pretty handy. It appears to be gone in the latest watchOS. Has anyone else noticed this?

It’s there is watchOS 7.1

It’s there is watchOS 7.1

Is that a developer or public beta only I assume?

I still have an option called "Viewing" at the top of the message list to change between "All Messages", "Known senders", and "Unknown senders". I'm on stock 7.0.1.

Strange that I don’t have the option and I’m also on 7.0.1.

I’m on 7.1 dev beta 2 & I don’t have it. Not sure if I had it in beta 1. I don’t really view messages too much on my watch

Do you have the “Filter Unknown Senders” option enabled in the Messages settings on your iPhone?

Yep & the only option I have at the top of the messages app on the watch is “new message”.

Okay. I’ll keep digging around the settings a bit longer to see why you are not seeing the viewing option.

Yeah it’s weird that I’m not seeing it. Thanks for looking into this, D I’ll keep looking on my end too.
