Updated app won’t reinstall on Apple Watch.

After installing iOS27 and updating Pillow app from the App Store Pillow will not reinstall from iPhone to Apple Watch. How do I reestablish the working relationship between iPhone and Watch?

Try restarting both devices. If that doesn’t work, you might try unpairing and repairing them. Or you could contact the app vendor since its not an Apple product.

The problem (maybe) is with the wathOS version. If you don’t have version 11 (and it doesn’t install on Series 4, 5, and some other watches), the Pillow app will disappear.

Problem solved. Traded up to Watch 12, deleted Pillow app, reinstalled, updated and about an hour later Pillow appeared on Watch 12. All is well now. Thanks.
