Hi


If you have not yet done so, then it may help to update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest compatible software versions, starting with your iPhone:



Also install any available update for your Barclays app via the App Store > Updates on your iPhone.


If the issue with using their app with Apple Watch persists, then I suggest that you consult the developer's support resources and/or contact them for assistance.

I know; it’s a real shame they haven’t spent time making it actually work :(, could have been a great app. Still debating leaving Barclays again over it (last time was Apple Pay).


Take a look at the attachment, this is a Barclays design for version 2 of the Watch app in 2015 that was never released. Screenshot came from a app UI designer working at Barclays.

Hi Stu, I did post on here couple of days ago... but Apple removed my post, hopefully they don’t this one and it is somewhat helpful!


Barclays UK I believe are dropping support for the Apple Watch. I’ve asked them directly about this and they have said ‘With these particular devices and older operating systems, we’re no longer able to meet the extremely high standard that we set ourselves and that our customers deserve.’


The reason everyone including myself (I was on the Barclays Apple Watch Beta pilot) has had so many issues with it; is because Barclays have abandoned it...

no Apple Watch app updates in 2 years. No support for Watch OS3 or Watch OS4, No Support for multiple watches, No Support for Watch without iPhone tethered (aka Apple Watch Series 3).


Unfortunately they have dropped the ball here, if anyone wants to see how a Banking watch app should work - take a look at Tesco, Nationwide or Natwest.
