watchOS 6 can't share activities with watchOS 5

Hi,

I installed beta1 and last week beta 2 on my apple watch series 4 and now it is not possible anymore to add friends with watchos 5 for acitivity sharing. Competitions are not working as well. You get a message that the OS of the opponent is too old.

I understand that apple may think that everyone will be on watchos 6 when it is released, but with coupling watchOS 6 to an iPhone which needs iOS13, people with an iPhone 6 and an Apple watch series 4 are suddenly left out.


In beta 1 everything worked fine and I really hope that Apple makes watchOS 6 and the companion iOS app compatible with iOS 12 and iOS 13.

Do you guys think this is a bug? Activity sharing for friends which I already had in my list is still working. Competitions invitations don't appear on their watch.

Hi I am having the same issue, if I invite someone they show up and then disappear again..

Same issue here on Beta 3. Only impacts adding new shares. I have not tried competitions yet.
