Apple watch app disappeared [ New ]

[grandhero5154]

I have an iphone 8plus, apple watch series 3 and gopro hero 5 black, after setting up the watch I was amazed to see that there is a gopro app for the watch and that preview and control worked! However just now when I was about to use it I couldn't find the icon for the app anywhere. I checked the phone and it said that the gopro app for the watch is installed, I tried to remove and would try to reinstall, but then it is no longer available on the apps to be installed.

Reinstall the gopro app on the phone as well and re-paired the gopro again, still to no avail! Anyone got any suggestions, I've already restarted both the phone and watch, and made sure I was connected to the gopro as well.

Hello Everyone, 

Apple Watch no longer supports the GoPro App since its update to the latest version, v5.1 . The descriptions have already been corrected, both in the App Store and the GoPro Support articles. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Feel free to post back for any other concern or question that you might have. 

Best regards, 
Marius

Hi @grandhero5154

With the recent update, the GoPro app has been removed from the Apple Watch store.

Thanks!

Well that explains it, are there plans to bring it back, what was the reason for removing it?

I am also very interested in this. I purchased a GoPro last week with the hope of being able to control it via my Apple Watch. The day after I purchased the GoPro, the Apple Watch app dissapeared. Any chance this will be coming back?

Hi @drillz77,

Not sure if it will still be available or will come back. 

We don't have the reason yet as to why is it removed. 

But I just want to set your expectations most likely it will no longer come back. 

Regards,

This is exactly why I would never ever purchase another product from this company, they had that bug with the time display and never bothered to fix it before releasing the 7.

Funny because in the App Description Its still „available for Apple Watch“

It is still nowhere to find. So annoying. I chatted to gopro online to solve the problem. But the real problem was that a persone(specialist) who I chatted, did not recognize what the problem was. Wish this problem is solved as fast as possible. (By the way, any go pro people monitors this comuunity page?)
