Why is my Apple Watch Camera Remote showing a black screen?

Hello there


Ever since updating to iOS 17.4 my Camera Remote has a constant black screen.

I tried restarting both devices. Closing the Apps. Opening the apps - both ways: first on apple watch, camera on phone. Changing Cameras on the watch. Changing Photo/Video Mode. Nothing...


I know that there has been a bug with the black screen around ever since, but it is just not working at all anymore since the update. Controls on the watch within Camera Remotes are working, I just have a black screen on the watch.


Any help? This is absolutely frustrating and I am pretty mad about it, as I use it quite a lot...


Devices & OS:

Iphone 13 Pro, iOS 17.4

Apple Watch 8, watchOS 10.4
