Dual SIM WatchOS 9 - no badge to distinguish which cellular line is called Hi, When I receive calls on my iPhone with DUAL SIM a little badge (in my case "P" for private and "B" for business) is shown that tells me which cellular line is called. Until WatchOS 9 this badge was shown on the Apple Watch as well... Since my upgrade on WatchOS 9 (and even with my upgrade to the Series 8) this badge is not shown. The Apple Watch Guide says the following: How Apple Watch receives calls when using multiple cellular plans When Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone: You can receive calls from both lines. Your watch shows a badge that tells you which cellular line you received a notification from—H for Home, and W for Work, for example. If you respond to a call, your watch automatically responds from the line that received the call. I already reset my Apple Watch and set it up as a new watch. I resetted my phone settings as well but nothing changed iPhone 11 Pro iOS 16.1 / Apple Watch Series 8 WatchOs 9.1 Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello wallyally,

We understand that you're having some texting trouble with your Apple Watch. Could you provide us some more details as to what you're seeing? This can include behavior, errors, and the nature of the text (such as iMessage or SMS, if they include pictures, to certain contacts or all, etc).

In the meantime, there's some general information below on using texts on the Apple Watch.
