Apple Watch
Hello,
I followed these instructions to unpair and repair my watch from my phone but the app never returned. I have an iPhone 13 Pro on iOS version15.3.1 and a Series 2 watch on watchOS version 6.3. I’ve also tried removing and installing the app again. What I did find through the App Store is that the latest version of the Shazam app now requires Watch OS 7.0 and above. Posting this here in case it helps someone else not have to go through the unpair and repair process like I did.

Hi rareafrica,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.
We would actually advise unpairing and setting up your Apple Watch and iPhone again as described here: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch. This can resolve issues easily between the two devices, and your Apple Watch data will be safely stored on your iPhone.
"How to unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone
next to the watch that you want to unpair. 7.Tap again to confirm. You might need to enter your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock. Before erasing all content and settings on your Apple Watch, your iPhone creates a new backup of your Apple Watch. You can use the backup to restore a new Apple Watch. After your Apple Watch unpairs, you'll see the Start Pairing message.
8.Set up your Apple Watch again."
Let us know if Shazam returns.
Have a fantastic day!
You need watchOS 7.0 or later to have Shazam on your Watch.
Your Series 2 cannot update past watchOS 6.3.
thanks @MichaelB2019 , but as you can see by the replies, your method does not work — seems like apple blindsided me and all other series 2 watches. pity apple or the s/w updates didn’t mention this!!!
thanks @ckuan — all makes sense now. pity apple (or the s/w update) didn’t mention this.
I have the same issue
it’s saddening because there’s no one you can contact😢
