Browser on Apple Watch SE just shows black screen

I have an Apple Watch SE 2nd gen with wifi and cellular, set up with Apple Watch for Your Kids. Whenever I try to open a webpage, it just shows a black screen. I have tried it with wifi, without wifi, with cellular, nothing works. Is there anything that i can do to fix this?

That could be the answer, but, I have opened a variety of websites, and they do the same thing on each. I also know that there are no Screen Time limits on the watch, or my iPad (for I have no iPhone attached to the same Apple Account, the Watch was set up on my father’s iPhone 14).


Please also note that when I ask Siri to “open apple.com”, the website will load, show a brief glimpse of the site, then the browser just closes.

Yes, it does. Try asking Siri to open a website, like “apple.com” (say “Hey, Siri, open apple.com”). Additionally, you could set up a shortcut to open a website, open a link from Messages, and most of the time, Siri will give you websites when she answers.
