Weather complications missing in Watch app on iPhone

Weather Complications missing in Watch App on iOS 26.1, iPhone 12


The 26.1 upgrades to my wife’s iPhone 12 and Apple Watch 8 completely changed the complications. When trying to edit these in the Watch App the Weather complications were missing. After checking settings against similar problems and comparing against my iPhone 12 and Apple Watch 6 (both at 26.1), the problem can be summarised vis:-




1) When trying to add the Weather complication to a watch face without this, “Weather” does not show up in the list of complications. 

2) When trying to edit an existing weather complication, it shows in the list as “Off”.

3) Both of the above apply to existing watch faces and new faces downloaded from the gallery.

4) A downloaded watch face that includes a weather complication can be uploaded to the watch and the complication will work.

5) The weather complication can be added and changed by editing on the watch.

6) My devices have no such issue.

Does her phone still have Apple's weather app installed?

In iPhone, Watch app, My Watch tab, is Weather app also installed on her watch?

Quite often existing faces do not work well, in fact I would be tempted to unpair then set the watch up again as a New Watch (no backup) which will wipe faces and alarms but clear out gremlins..

Still using Apple Weather but have deleted, rebooted, and reinstalled prior to posting. Have therefore unpaired keeping the data plan and set up as new watch ignoring backups. Situation is now worse as weather complications On new downloaded watch faces no longer work at all. Also, when editing these in watch app on iPhone, Weather no longer shows as a category and is now off/ off instead of weather/ off.
