Q: Tweets not loading, Messenger not loading

Hi

In respect of Messenger (by Facebook), try the following steps, which have reportedly worked for others:

• On your watch, attempt to open the Messenger app (which will only show as loading);
• Immediately afterwards, on your iPhone, in the Messenger app, go to: Settings > Apple Watch > change any quick reply;
• Check the status of the app on your watch.

Otherwise, first try Apple's suggested steps, trying to open affected third-party apps after each:

• Place your Apple Watch on its charger, connected to power - and also connect your iPhone to power.
• On your iPhone: open the Music app and start playing any song (through your iPhone speakers is fine).
• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > scroll down and tap on the name of any app that won't open > turn off the setting for Show App on Apple Watch > pause for a few moments > turn it back on.

If that does not resolve the issue, Apple next suggests unpairing and re-pairing your watch:

• The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app.
• Choose to Restore from Backup during set up. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
• Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
• Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If the issue persists, the following steps may help. Try to open affected third-party apps after each:

• On your iPhone, go to: Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage > In the Storage section, tap on Manage Storage > Music > Edit (upper-right corner) > delete All Songs.
• Back up your iPhone to iCloud (do not reset your iPhone afterwards, just make the backup):
  • How to back up your devices using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
• Next back up (but do not Sync) your iPhone to iTunes, selecting the option to "Encrypt iPhone backup" (again, do not reset your iPhone afterwards, just make the backup):
  • How to back up your devices using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
• Try opening an affected app again.
• Music can be added back to your iPhone again after trying these steps.

Other steps that may help:

• Check for and install any available update for the Twitter app on your iPhone:
  • In the App Store app, tap on the Updates tab to view available updates.

• Remove and reinstall the Twitter app on your watch:
  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, to go: My Watch > Twitter (scroll down the list) > turn off Show App on Apple Watch > pause for a few moments > turn it back on again.

.. I'm still unable to get Twitter to load tweets.

You may find that the latest update for Twitter (version 6.56, released on 21 June) resolves this issue.

Should you encounter any issues when trying to install or use it, try the following steps:

• On your iPhone: update the Twitter app (via the Updates tab in the App Store app).
• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Twitter > turn off Show App on Apple Watch > allow a short while for the app to be removed from your watch.
• On your iPhone: close all open apps by double-clicking the Home button and then swiping up on each app preview.
• Restart your iPhone and Apple Watch:
  • Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first.
  • Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Twitter:
  • Turn on Show App on Apple Watch > allow time for the app to install.
  • If desired, also turn on Show in Glances.
