Q: Contacts not showing up in messages

Hey,

 

I just got the iPhone 7 Plus (iOS 10.0.1) and I have an Apple Watch 42mm stainless steel with watch OS 3.0.

As of yesterday, when I receive text message/imessages the watch won't display the contact name, just the phone number. On my iPhone it shows up with the name, as always.

I tried restarting my watch and my iPhone but it hasn't helped. I also tried hard resets on both devices, no luck.

My wife has an iPhone 7 and an Apple Watch Sport and she has the same issue.

We did not see this issue when we still had our iPhone 6S and 6S Plus on iOS 10.

 

The battery also seems to drain much quicker the last couple of days, since getting the iPhone 7 Plus.

 

If anyone has the same issue with contacts not showing up in messages on Apple Watch and found a fix, I'd like to hear about it.

 

Thanks
