Siri thinks there is no timer app when there is.

I have used Siri on my Watch 5 to set a timer almost everyday. Starting today, Siri says “you don’t have the timer app installed.” I do, I can open the timer app from the app screen and set a timer. Why does Siri think there is no timer app installed all of a sudden? Thanks

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
