Stocks app removes watchList (Bug)

Noticed today, the stocks app on the iphone looks buggy. The watchlist had about 25-30stocks and i see randomly only the 10-12 stocks in the list. How do i get back my watchlist ?

Tried resetting phone and look for any new SW updates.


iPhone XS

SOLVED !!

I worked with Apple support team and finally got a resolution.


The stocks app is set up to sync with iCloud on both your iPhone and iPad. (usually)

This setting can be found under Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Stocks.


If it’s turned ON for both devices, you’ll want to "delete" the Stocks app from your iPhone, then restart your device and download it again from the App Store afterwards.


Once Stocks is reinstalled, ensure that the option to "sync" with iCloud is turned ON,

this brings back your original watchlist back on the Stock app on your phone.


SOLVED !!!

The same exact problem showed up on my iPhone XS Max today. I am running the latest iOS update and suspect the bug was introduced then. My stock App list of stock is also synced to my iPad which is also running the latest iOS. My iPad list looks fine. The stock list is now showing just 1 stock, which is a stock I added not that long ago and my Widget stock list is still fine. This is clearly a bug, which I hope Apple fixes soon and provides a work around till then.
