Wallet & Apple Pay unavailable on Apple Watch

Just found myself unable to access the Apple Wallet on my watch.

Double-clicked the side button and nothing appeared.


Thought this would get fixed so I promptly updated to Watch OS 11.0 from 10.6.1

Didn't work.


So I rebooted my watch. Rebooted my phone. Nope.

Unpaired and paired again.

Wallet app initially showed up while the other apps were loading/downloading, only to then disappear.


Unpaired again, then paired as brand new watch. No loading from any backups.

Wallet app is still missing.


Watch details:

watchOS version: 11.0

model: Watch Series 7 (GPS)

capacity: 32GB

available: 23.35 GB


Wallet & Apple Pay settings was set to ✔️ Mirror my iPhone.


Searching for 'Apple Wallet' on the watch's App Store has shown that I have the app, but tapping Open doesn't prompt anything.

Yes, I've had my cards set up.


And no, I have not changed country or region.


I did however, change phones. But I hadn't any issues with pairing my watch to my new phone, and Apple Pay did work for a couple of days before it stopped. :(

[SOLVED]


It seems that Wallet was disabled. I genuinely have no clue how that happened as I was still able to access Apple Wallet on my phone, so I've just enabled it and the app now shows up on my Apple Watch.


Apple Pay and Wallet is now working as intended.


iPhone:

Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps & Features > Wallet [enable]


Thank you so much for the assistance!
