I just got the marshmallow update this afternoon. I noticed after the update, there was no messenger app in the watch's app list. After rebooting my phone and watch, and re-syncing apps to the watch, it still isn't there. Does anyone know why the messenger app is gone and/or how to bring it back?

I use Textra as my SMS app. On 4.4.4 Kit Kat, my AT&T Note 4 displayed contact pics pulled from Facebook in Textra. Yesterday, I updated, then factory reset the phone, then reinstalled all of my apps. Now Textra will not show any contact pictures, just their initials. The pis do come up in the contacts app and the Messages app.
I know that there was an issue with 3rd party apps having difficulty using facebook photos. But I thought that was an old issue. On Kit Kat, with no root or extra apps, Textra worked fine on my Note 4.
Have I missed a setting somewhere?

There were some strange problems with contact pictures not syncing on the nexus 5 and 6 on 5.0.1. The 5.1 update fixed these.
Not sure if this is the same problem, but thought i'd mention.
I use Textra as well and my Facebook contact photos show up just fine. You might have to relink your contacts or sync again in the Facebook app

FIXED!
I uninstalled Textra; and then reinstalled it. It is now working perfectly with all of the contact pics now showing.
Last night, I set up FB after using Textra. So I guess that was the problem. Good to know in case anyone else runs in to the problem.
Hi,
I updated to Marshmallow over the air on AT&T and everything works great other than the contacts.
If I try to add a contact using the phone app or the contacts stand alone app (which opens the phone dialer app anyways), then it crashes and I get the "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped" message.
I have rebooted several times and even see if I need to update anything on PlayStore, but I have everything up to date.
Any ideas on how to fix this? this is very limiting and makes the phone unreliable.
Thanks
fixed the problem with a full reset.
Has anyone experienced problems with some notifications? Just recently I stopped receiving push notifications for both Hangouts and Whatsapp? My messages only appear when I enter the app. I've even cleared the app data for Hangouts, uninstalled, reinstalled, and it solved the problem but only temporarily. I can't determine if it's a phone, marshmallow, or app issue. This is my first time on marshmallow and I've never experienced this before coming from KitKat on my HTC M8.
I've had the same issue since updating the OS software last week. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I'm not receiving push notifications for any apps anymore. All settings are turned on to receive them. I've even downloaded an app to push the notifications and it doesn't work.
Are you sure DND mode is not active?
Absolutely positive.
I managed to fix it through a whatsapp forum about not receiving push notification for that particular app. Hopefully this helps the OP.
When I got my phone I restricted background data on google services because it used 10gb of data within a 10 minute period of turning on my phone, mostly coming from that. For the first 2 months I was still getting push notifications for all my apps, but with the most recent OS update something must have changed it so the settings were no longer compatible.
So I re-enabled background data on google services and it started to work.
See if that helps. If not, I'm stuck on ideas.
Good luck an let us know how you go.

Since today I am not receiving notifications on my watch for new emails I am receiving from either of my gmail (work) or K9 mail (personal) accounts. Things worked fine yesterday and earlier this morning. I did notice that the Android Wear app was updated. Also I went in to Android Wear and looked at the Block app notifications section and both gmail and K9 mail are listed with the reason of "Blocked by enterprise policy"
Is anyone else seeing this? Not sure if someone in my work organization changed something or if it is related to the recent Wear update (Nov 10, 2016)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Devon
Try delete the Watch in Wear, delete Wear and new install. Happens to me with whatsapp on a Wear update. This solved it.
Thanks for the reply. I went to watch, unpaired from phone, factory reset. On phone, went to android wear, forgot the watch. Uninstalled wear. Re-installed wear. Paired with watch. Still having issues. I am actually not getting any notifications (email, text, etc.) on my watch. Things were working just fine until the wear app updated yesterday.

This is interesting. I am having the same issue only with a Moto 360 2nd gen watch since the Android Wear update. I came here cause I was going to trade the Moto in for the Huawei since that's who makes my phone. My updates worked this morning until about noon and now they don't again.
So, with the recent update to Wear OS on my mobile phone I have found that I wasn't receiving notifications any more. I figured it was something to do with app referencing to the old Android wear instead of the newer Wear OS app on my phone. I reset my phone/watch and from that point it all went horribly wrong. I could no longer transfer apps to my watch (Strava, Keep, Spotify, etc) and notifications would not appear on my device.
THE FIX
1) Remove the Wear OS app from your phone and download Android Wear from UpToDown.com.
2) Download the most recently archived version (2.7.0.177669439) and install it (Enable Unknown sources in settings).
3) Open the Play Store app and go to "My Apps and Games" and find the "Wear OS" app update and open the app store page. Select the triple dot menu from the top right of the screen and uncheck "Enable auto-update".
4) Pair your phone and watch again, giving some time for all apps to sync and reinstall.
I've only just completed this myself and so far everything is starting to come back up on my watch like before. You may need to go into settings and tell the app to resync all apps to watch again, but hopefully this has fixed any issues people are having of late like I have been.
Happy trails!
Did you get constant FC messages?

I wasn't getting any notifications on my watch. So I tried wiping my watch and setting it up again and found it would never sync apps back to the watch. So I rolled back to using Android wear which immediately fixed the issue of the apps not syncing. A positive side effect of doing so allowed me to get notifications again.
I did that and now I have notifications but apps don't syncing. During parring it hangs on ninth app and goes to the main screen. Resync all apps don't work
Same problem here, fresh install and my watch is missing almost all installed apps : keep is present bu not working, google map is missing, ...
Thanks worked for me....not using lates release seem to fix the issue
Doesn´t work for me. Android Wear app FC on XZ1 Compact.
