Having received a number of achievement award on my Apple Watch, I am seeing a bizarre text on the flip side of the award icon. Does anyone know where this text originates. Is this a bug?
Please take a screenshot by pressing the digital crown and side button at the same time. The screenshot should show up in Photos on your iPhone, at which point you can upload it here. Then we can see what you're referring to.
What does your text say? Wonder if we are seeing the same thing
I took this from the iPhone the iWatch is "tethered" to ... I have no idea where the text "I don't have a boyfriend called by Bob i don't kissing" comes from. I'm sure it was not originally like this and I cannot find it anywhere in the setup of watch or iphone
Mine all just have "Earned by Meg on ....."
If, in the Apple Watch app on your phone, you go into General>About>Name, what does it say?
Douglas's Apple Watch
Very, very strange.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Under the Contacts section, what does it say under "My Info?" If you go to that contact in the "Contacts" app, is the strange text you see shown anywhere?
OMG yes ... in the contact card there is a new field at the top under the surname (before the company) field in which that text shows ... do I have some sort of malware / virus ?????
No, it's no sort of malware. At this point in time, malware is never really a worry on iOS. If you let others use your phone, they may have done it, or someone has access to your Apple ID and password. If the latter, you should change that password immediately at http://iforgot.apple.com.
To get rid of that text, tap the Edit button when viewing your contact, and delete the text from the "Nickname" field.
Thank you very much - great help and advise ... cheers
You are welcome. If you are concerned about the security of your Apple ID, you may wish to look into two-step verification: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support.

Not unless your phone is jailbroken. It's far more likely to be some sort of practical joke, or someone playing with your phone. Put a passcode on your phone.
Bizarre text on flip of achievement awards - anyone know how this text is populated?
