For the past 4 or 5 days now, I've had issues with the Messages app on my watch (Series 5 GPS, watchOS 9.4, paired to an iPhone XS on 16.4.1) which manifests in a few different ways.
The first is that Messages notifications usually don't work. I will sometimes get a haptic or a sound notification, but if I then glance at the watch, I'll usually see it re-springing, which takes 5-15 seconds, and then dumps me back to the watch face.
The next and most observable/repeatable symptom is that I can open the Messages app, but tapping through to any conversation will only show it for a second, and then quit back to the app launcher. I can scroll the conversation list just fine, and even delete conversations, but trying to view one is what causes the crash.
Finally, the last symptom I've seen is that trying to reply to an Activity notification will fail, and just return to the notification list.
I've done all the troubleshooting here I can think of, starting with reboots of phone and watch, then doing a reset and restore of the watch, and finally this morning unpairing the watch and setting it up new. No change. I've also enabled/disabled iMessages on my phone, as well as put the watch in to full airplane mode (BT and WiFi off) and the issue still occurs.
I'm pretty much out of things to try at this point, so I've filled FB12135643 which has full sysdiagnoses from my phone and watch attached.
Does anyone have any other ideas of things to try, short of a full phone restore (which I might eventually do, but am trying to avoid right now)?
