On my Series 2 with WatchOS 4, I'm having a strange problem with Snapchat notifications. When I initially receive a notification, the Snapchat icon is replaced with the default app icon.
However, it looks normal in the notification center.
I've already done a hard reset on both my watch and my phone. Is anyone else having this problem?
Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 4
Hi
Some other users have reported experiencing the same issue with Snapchat notifications.
If updating to the latest version of the app (released on 23 September, with bug fixes) does not resolve the issue, then you may wish to let the developer know about the issue affecting their app:

For future reference, note that Apple advises that you should not force restart either your Apple Watch or your iPhone unless that device is unresponsive and cannot be restarted normally.
More information:
It has since become apparent that many other users are experiencing the same issue with various apps.
One user has reported that unpairing and re-pairing their Apple Watch resolved the issue:
Otherwise, I suggest that you let Apple know that you are also experiencing the issue:
Apple advises that the issue of app icons not appearing in notifications on Apple Watch is addressed under iOS 11.1, released today.
watchOS 4.1 has also been released.
Follow the instructions here to update your iPhone and Apple Watch, starting with your iPhone and beginning by making a backup of your iPhone:
I am having this exact same issue and is ******* me off. I have an Apple Watch Series 3 with Watch OS 4. When I first received the watch it was working fine it just suddenly stopped working. Snapchat was updated on 30th of September and problem still persists.
Hi Jon,
This isn't nearly sufficient an answer, although we appreciate your help. This is happening with so many apps that this is not a specific app problem. Either Apple has made an error, or they've changed something that developers aren't ready for, which is still an Apple error.
Apple needs to push an update to fix this in addition to their other outstanding issues before they proceed to create new features.
Any updates?
I am experiencing this with several of my apps.
Apple Watch Series 2 - watchOS 4.0
Same issue here occurring with multiple apps (IFTTT, Twitter, etc.). Running iOS 11.0.2, watchOS 4.0, Apple Watch Series 2.
Same problem on my Series 2. Seems to be with all non-apple apps. Drives me crazy. Hope they release an update soon.
