Q: Pictures are missing on all Friends

My Apple Watch does not show picture images for any of the contacts listed in the Friends button on the watch. In the Watch app on my iPhone 5s iOS8.3 it does not show pictures for the Friends in my list either. My contacts all have pictures for those listed as favorites but they aren't showing on the Watch or the iPhone Watch app. Is there some way to make them show?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3, paired with Apple Watch

A:

I had the same problem and just fixed it (perhaps temporarily) by removing those contacts from the watch friends circle in the watch app and re-adding them.

    Same thing here. None of these "fixes" seem to fix it. I am also only getting a very small subset of my contacts on the watch at all. it seems syncing is a problem.  Sorry but for 750 dollarsI don't expect these kinds of bugs

    I had this error.... Not sure what cause it but I went into the watch companion app  then went to general and hit the reset sync data button. It resolved it for me

    I'm new to the Watch, but already have this problem. I tried two things from here:

     

    1) Removed and re-added Friends.

     

    2) Hit Reset Sync Data on iPhone Watch app.

     

    Neither step restored my Friend photos. Any ideas?

    Hi

     

    Try restarting both devices:

     

    Restart Apple Watch: Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; Drag the slider to turn off completely; Afterwards, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.

     

    Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears; Drag the slider to turn your iPhone off; When it has finished turning off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

    I tried that, restarting both devices, and also tried restarting after deleting Friends and adding back, but photos still don't show. I'm completely baffled.

    I tried absolutely everything I could find on the Internet and without success, finally just gave up. Now, this morning, a couple of weeks later, now the photos mysteriously reappeared. Go figure!
