MINDFULNESS / BREATHE app gone!

[Tiskers]

Hello all!

So I just noticed that the Mindfulness/Breathe app (with the light blue greenish blue "flower" icon) is gone from my watch and even gone from the App Store. I hadn't used it in a LOOOONG time, but recently I decided to try it again.

AI was no help, so I contacted Apple Support and was on the phone with them for about half an hour. She was puzzled too and had to do extra research. I was finally told that the app had been removed from the app store (and apparently also from everyone's watches!) I was also told it was NOT a native Apple app, although it sure SEEMED like one! And the Apple rep said she thought it was too!

So I'm just wondering if ANYONE still has that app on their phone or watch? Or has any other information on this craziness?! THANK YOU!

Did you use the Watch App Store? It's in there. And it's still on my Watch.

App does not show in i*OS or Mac App Stores.

The app is still on my watch. I am surprised I forgot to delete it a long time ago.

Make sure you remember to stand when you do it!

The app is called "Mindfulness" - it's still on my watch.

THANKS for the replies. OHMYWORD this is so crazy. I DO NOT have the app on my watch (see screenshots) and neither is in in the APP store! And the Apple rep said the same thing... not on her watch and not in the App Store for her! And she even literally said that she checked with her supervisor and it has been removed ... from the App Store and from all watches! 🥴 In the next message I will post what I see in the App Store...

Here's what I see in the App store: (And apparently the apple rep too!) Maybe someone can show me what they see, please? No Apple Mindfulness or Breathe app, and not in my App Library on my phone either. BTW, I have a series 4 watch running OS 10.6.2 (21U594) on an iPhone 13 running IOS 26.5. THANK YOU!

Use the App Store app on your watch

OH FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES! YES - THERE IT IS! In the most obvious place that neither I, nor the Apple rep, NOR her supervisor thought to look. And they spun a whole story around it, too: "removed from the App Store... no known reason, but probably not coming back...and has been removed from all watches!"

HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!!

Well, THANK YOU SO MUCH. And thank ALLLL of you for your replies.
