Folks, is it just mine only or any or some of you have this issue too?

1. Starbucks app does not appear on my Watch8
2. Touch n Go also not appearing
3. These 2 apps are not even in the App Store in my Watch when searched for.

Any input on the above is appreciated.

Not all apps are supported in WatchOS.
eWallets aren't supported at the moment, so we are left with only ApplePay for supported banks.

Thanks for responding. Yes, I know not all apps are supported by WatchOS. But after watching a YouTube video with a Starbucks icon on an Apple Watch and scouring the sites, apparently the Starbucks app could be installed. But it could possibly be in the States only, I don’t know. Our TnG eWallet app then is probably not compatible yet.

Using Apple Pay with your watch is not recommended. There was once I used and I tapped it too close to the device causing a scratch. Not a big scratch but a scratch is a scratch. Painful

Just curious.

How did you scratch your watch face when it’s one flat surface on another? Then, a SP or a case would eradicate the problem, no? Or we just have to be vigilant/careful when using the watch to do such transactions. If I were to recommend people not to use, it would be due to security concerns which we cannot help.

i find the range for apple pay on apple watch quite good, the terminal can detect with a gap of 1-2cm. No need to place the watch directly on the payment terminal (ala T&G cards) from my experience so far.

Most of the time, yes. But some terminals, you need to be a little closer. Like I said earlier, just be careful when doing it, that’s all.

This issue baffles me. Therefore I hope some folks can help me out.

For mails I have set it to mirror my phone. However, I don’t get notification on my Watch. But when I set it to Custom, ticking notifications for all, they then work.

Shouldn’t mirroring my phone gets notifications of incoming mails? Am I missing something?

TQ.

Me too don’t get notifications when set to mirror iPhone. But I just let it be.

I suppose that’s how Apple intends it to be.
