Apple Watch missing contacts??!

Hi

Under watchOS 3, the Friends feature (which was available under prior versions) is no longer included and there is no direct replacement for it.

When placing calls or sending new messages, contacts can instead be selected via the Phone and Messages apps or by using Siri:

• Messages: https://help.apple.com/watch/#/apd92a90f882
• Calls: https://help.apple.com/watch/#/apdc38d7a95e

The following steps may help (check after each):

Reset your sync data:

• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Reset > tap once on Reset Sync Data.
• Nothing will seem to happen, but the process will run in the background / invisibly to you, so allow some time afterwards for it to complete.

Restart both your iPhone and your watch, turning both off together, then restarting your iPhone first:

• Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
• Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Unpair and re-pair your watch:

• The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app. Choose to Restore from Backup during set up. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
• Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
• Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
