Apple Watch Not Showing/Rendering Websites
Hello!
Recently, I've started using an Apple Watch and noticed that the website features of it do not work. I've done a little bit of research of my own (as well as some browsing on the Internet) to figure out at least somewhat why it is, but here's my best guess:
- It is not that the page doesn't load, but rather that the page does not get told to render/is rendered incorrectly (you can deduce this because the page has an accurate scroll length).
- It is not a hardware side issue; it is only a software bug that comes with newer Apple updates (this bug is even seen on older watch models).
- Upon trying to use some kind of workaround (for example, launching direct HTML code from a shortcut [shown below]), you would then get an error message, which I have shown below.* Also, when you exit the webpage after searching it from Siri, it shows you what should have been loaded (see below).
*I'm not entirely sure if that error message is related to the rendering bug. It might have just been an issue with the process.
In Summary
It's not a hardware bug, but rather, just a need for a website rendering fix or some new Apple Watch data features. The issue is mainly just rendering-based and the tools to render it are probably already there, so we just need your help.
How to help...?
Currently, I haven't found a fix yet, so it's all up to you. The best way you guys could help would be to upvote this or say "I have the same issue" to help get more attention about this bug to Apple's developers. Also, if you find the solution, post it as a reply! Have a good one :)

PS: I used Apple Watch Mirroring to get video/images of my watch, that's why it might look a little weird.
