Apple watch news refresh

The watch news refresh or updating happens very infrequently and randomly. It might update in 3 days or 2 weeks and you never know when. The same happens with CNN. I've restarted my phone and watch, reset, reinstalled the apps. Nothing seems to fix it. I have an iphone 12 and Apple watch 6 and both indicate software up to date. 15.1 on the phone. I didn't have this issue back in the ios 14'ish versions.

Hello DanGagner,


We see that you need help with the News app on your Apple Watch.


To get started, is you’re Apple Watch connected to Wi-Fi and to your iPhone? If your Apple Watch isn't connected or paired with your iPhone & Connect your Apple Watch to Wi-Fi


On your iPhone, if you open Settings > News, is Background App Refresh enabled? Switch apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Do you have Low Power Mode enabled on your iPhone? Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone


We hope that helps.
