Apple Watch screenshots is not working after watchOS 11.2 update

Since the latest watch update watchOS 11.2 watch screenshots have stopped working.


I rebooted the watch and all the unrecorded screenshots came flooding back.


But the next day screenshots were not working again and this time the watch re-boot did not restore the lost screenshots nor the ability to take screenshots, Screenshots are still enabled.


Subsequent reboots of both the phone and the watch have had no effect.

I just got off the phone with Apple. The guys spoke with said it seems to be a problem with a lot of people are having and Apple is working on it. I said thanks for telling me. It’s not just me. And I told him I thought that it must be the watch update I did. And thanks to you here, I can see that’s what you think it is. Thank you.!

Well I spoke about the same issue the other day. Including mentioning that I called Apple Support and discussed it with them and they told me it’s a known issue with the recent watch update.


I wanna update you that. Yes, I am having the same problem with it and the resets are not working to see the screenshots on the phone or the watch.


Today I reset watch and phone to have screenshots sync. And even though the watch was at 68% when I turned it off, I could not turn it back on (just white numbers of time would show)


then, I tried putting it in the charger to get it to respond. Then it restarted right away and I took it out of the charger and I had 62% left.  And screenshots never showed up on my watch or my phone.
