Same here, updated this morning, iPhone 13 on 15.3, watch series 6 on 8.4, passes on phone not syncing to watch, but deleting pass on watch wipes it from both

[–]aba792000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is in watchOS 8.4, no doubt. My AW got updated automatically overnight, but the paired iphone is still on iOS 10.2.1 and the issue is there.

Me too. In my country, Chile, we have no official vaccination app to show our COVID-19 QR in Wallet, so I was updating this using a third party app. This pass is showing normally in the iPhone but not in the Apple Watch‘s Wallet. I believe as many of you said before it’s a bug either from iOS 15.3 or watchOS 8.4. I have an iPhone 13 Pro and a Watch Series 6,

It is watchOS 8.4 no doubt. My iphone is still on iOS 10.2.1 and the problem is there

I'm from Chile too, I use the app called "pass2u", but even other apps like Latam, Starbucks and more isn't working for me

[–]David_Jonathan0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I used Pass2U for my gym membership QR code and it won't sync to my Apple watch.

[–]didiboySE 40mm Nike+ Silver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Starbucks Chile app doesn’t let you add your cards to wallet anymore! I sent an email and they told me they might bring the feature back on a future update. In the meanwhile I’m using Pass2U to add the card to Wallet, but like others say, it doesn’t sync to my Watch. I’m going to try the iMessage method.

[–]asouthamericandude94 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Cómo añades la tarjeta de Latam a Wallet?

[–]MrRojano97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

La aplicación hasta hace aproximádamente 2 años dejaba añadirlo, ahora ya no deja. El pase no se sincronizó con mi Watch habiendo estado en el iPhone después de restaurar, al igual que el de Starbucks

[–]Gh_Racer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me, what the heck. I’m using CovidPass.eu for my Italian Covid Certification, but the new certificate won’t sync.

iPhone 12 iOS 15.3 Watch SE WatchOS 8.4.1

Someone opened a thread on the Apple discussion forums about the same issue:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253615580

fantastic…. thanks

[–]AlkiviadispSE 44mm Space Gray Aluminum 5 points6 points  (5 children)

The new update 8.4.2 solved the problem with the sync with wallet passes. After the update I restarted both iPhone and watch and it worked.

[–]Fox10de 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree watchOS 8.4.2 fixed the WatchWalletSyncBug 😀

I also do this way:

1.Update Watch 2. I also restart iPhone After the Watch Update and wait some Moments after that the cards were updated

New Cards now also were updated to watch direct after I add them to iPhone Wallet

[–]magebarf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Similar approach as you; Updated my Series 3 without touching the iOS update.

After Watch upgrade done I waited and tried seeing if it did sync, no result.

Rebooted the iPhone, went back in, and noticed still no sync. Tried removing two expired tickets, did not reflect to the Watch.

Five minutes later I check back in, and things are updated nicely!

So, bottom line, give it some time to commence syncing after the 8.4.2 update. It may or may not require a reboot of the iPhone, but at least with the older Apple Watches it still takes a few minutes before everything is back up and running and syncing as it should.

[–]Fox10de 0 points1 point  (2 children)

In addition, has anyone tried the iOS update 15.3.1 also and will the Wallet also work with both updates?

actual I just updated the Watch and the iPhone has 15.3

[–]AlkiviadispSE 44mm Space Gray Aluminum 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes I have updated both iPhone and watch to the latest firmware. Everything works fine

[–]Fox10de 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I tried update iPhone and Wallet Sync is still is working 👍

[–]Decent_Ant5460 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good to see this is clearly a wider issue and not just me

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding my voice - I’m seeing the issue too with iOS 15.3 and watchOS 8.4/8.4.1

[–]turrball 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone here has the new watchOS 8.5 beta? Could you please test if the issue has been resolved? Many thanks!

[–]MrRojano97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, recently restored iPhone and Apple Watch and now I don't have any ticket/pass/card in my Apple Watch but in my iPhone is all ok.

iOS 15.3 (iPhone XS Max) / watchOS 8.4 (Apple Watch Series 6)

[–]magebarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding another data point.

iPhone 12 and Apple Watch Series 3.

No coupons/membership cards added on the iPhone have successfully been synced to the Apple Watch since I updated to 8.4 and 15.3.

Interestingly enough, removing a card from the iPhone does not seem to sync to the Watch either, but removing a card that exists on both devices on the Watch successfully syncs to the iPhone.

So, Watch -> iPhone propagates changes successfully, while the other direction has no effect.

[–]Jenason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad I finally found out that it‘s not just me. I have reset my watch 5 times already trying to fix this. Hopefully they’ll come with a fix soon.

[–]Old_Panda3632 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding my voice over here. I am from india and previously before the 8.4 update the movie tickets would perfectly sync with apple watch ( series 4 ) from my iphone ( xr ) . This is definitely an issue overwide. Didnt thought this was a very much widespread issue. Hope apple fixes it soon .

[–]Decent_Ant5460 1 point2 points  (10 children)

Same here. Just updated this morning and can’t get my parkrun pass on my watch.

I’m also getting rogue phantom vibrations every now and again. Have you had these?

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 0 points1 point  (9 children)

yes I have had them I begin to think that it is the fault of version 8.4 but I find it strange that I do not see other complaints about it I think it is a bug of watchOS 8.4

[–]Decent_Ant5460 2 points3 points  (7 children)

Yeah, weird right. I just spoke to apple support on the phone and unpaired and repaired my watch and now all of my non credit card passes aren’t syncing

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

As you may have noticed, it was useless to do a Restore of the Apple Watch but when Apple does not know what to tell you it always makes a restore I think it's a bug we have to wait for it to be fixed but I don't think it will be a short term thing info

[–]Decent_Ant5460 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It’s weird there aren’t other reports. I had a follow up call with another technician and tried wiping the watch and treating it as new, which didn’t resolve it. Although I haven’t had any phantom haptics in a while.

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only get ghost vibrations when you try to add some tickets to your wallet

[–]magebarf 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Good word of warning.

I was considering doing the nuclear approach, unpairing and repairing again, but if it's already documented to have no, and even worse results, no point in doing so...

As a middle ground I was thinking of testing the "Reset sync data" to see if that would get things running again.

[–]Decent_Ant5460 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Ooh interesting. Let us know how you get on

[–]magebarf 2 points3 points  (1 child)

False hope... The "Reset sync data" does not seem to affect the Wallet at all from what I could see.

I did find it a bit odd that there's not even a confirmation prompt when pushing the button. But maybe it does not really remove anything, other than the "queued" changes yet to be transferred to the watch, meaning it's not really a destructive operation...

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys read the first post you find Temporary Fix

[–]aba792000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is watchOS 8.4 no doubt. I updated my watch to watchOS 8.4 without updating the iphone first (so iphone still on 15.2.1) and I see the issue.

[–]magebarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got off the phone with the Apple support where the issue was escalated somewhere beyond the support agent manning the phone;

It's a known issue on Apple's end, and is currently ongoing investigation/troubleshooting. No ETA could be given for a fix as they are still in the analysis phase.

General recommendation for now was; Keep your eyes open for iOS/WatchOS updates. If any becomes available, make sure to apply it.

[–]edward3600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was just me. I’m glad this is more widespread than I originally thought. Will be submitting a bug report to Apple. Hope y’all be doing the same.

[–]luisnabais 1 point2 points  (2 children)

This is happening to me as well, in Portugal. iPhone 12 with iOS 15.3 and Apple Watch 6 with watchOS 8.4.

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

bro…. read first post…. temporaney fix

[–]luisnabais 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did. And it's not a temporary fix, it's a workaround. I just left here more data for someone to compare to it's own situation.

[–]Cruncher_13Apple Watch Ultra 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I am so happy I found this post. I thought I am alone with this issue.

All my Passes I added to my iPhone are not syncing with my watch anymore. I hope they fix this with an Update soon.

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Read the my first post if you want a solution

[–]Cruncher_13Apple Watch Ultra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it. Thanks. I still hope they fix it officially soon.

[–]Decent_Ant5460 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Great idea on the workaround. For some reason iMessages aren’t syncing on my watch (not sure if this has always been the case as I mainly use WhatsApp), but I got around it by emailing the pass to myself. Good work on whoever found this!!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iMessage has never synced properly on the watch, it only shows the last 30 days of message history

[–]Fox10de 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start the iMessage Konversation from the Watch to your own Number and answer than from your iPhone. Than the Sync will Start correct. Had the Same here.

[–]marswarrior462Apple Watch Ultra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I only have my debit card on my watch and nothing else

[–]Fox10de 1 point2 points  (2 children)

There is an new Update Release for Watch OS to 8.4.1. Hope the „Watch wallet Bug“ will ne fixes.

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

no solved DAMN

[–]Cruncher_13Apple Watch Ultra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also for me. Not solved after the update. Maybe an iOS Update is needed to. We will see.

I am curious if this Issue exists with iOS 15.4 Beta.

[–]NoAcanthocephala4741 1 point2 points  (1 child)

15.4 beta has the same problem

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can you install watchOS 8.5 beta?

[–]braders620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also getting this issue, tried unpairing and repairing. But now I don’t have any apart form my ApplePay card added during setup

[–]Which_Ad_5778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iWatch 6 (watchOS 8.4.1) with iPhone 13 PRO (iOS 15.3): can not sync Wallet.

Same iWatch 6 (watchOS 8.4.1) with iPhone 11 (iOS 15.3): the wallet syncs perfectly.

There must be something rotten in the state of Denmark...

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys can someone try the new iOS beta of watchOS

[–]Nervous_Hedgehog_325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temporary fix:

From Wallet app on your iPhone share pass/ticket/qr through iMessage to yourself.

On Apple Watch go to Message app and add pass/ticket/qr directly from watch.

It works!

[–]umeshusawa 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Had this problem today as well, iOS 15.3.1 and watchOS 8.4.2. I was able to add via the iMessage or mail workaround but hope it gets fixed soon

[–]7h31ll3g4l[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro last update fixed 😀

[–]MysteriousStress3810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’ve submitted this to apple support about 3 weeks ago, also thinking it was just me, and after a long process of letting them into my phone by a profile, sending screen videos and stuff like that. They’ve just come up with the latest update IOS 15.3.1 for IPhone and 8.4.2 for apple watch. Everything works perfectly now 👍

[–]_Heziode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

Few month after, the problem is still here…

  • WatchOS: 9.0
  • iOS: 16.2.0

It's unbelievable that Apple has not fixed the problem since then.

In the mean time, the temporary fix by aero.108 still work. A temporary fix that is not so… temporary 😅

[–]jamilhaddadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure how you guys managed to use the temp fix, but there is no place to share the card from the wallet iPhone app to any other app. Can someone screenshot the interface that has the share button?
