posting the new 6.0 update mostly because it initially broke the link to my Apple Watch app. on watch, the app disappeared from the watch face complication. though it appeared in the app bubble list, at first it said it couldn't find/communicate with phone. then it talked to phone like normal. Still couldn't get it to appear in the watch complication.
The way that I've found to restore it:
  1. uninstall the app (via watch app on phone)
  2. restart both devices
  3. reinstall the app (via watch app on phone)
  4. replace the complication to your preferred position

Mine seemed to work fine. I did open it up on my phone first. Only tried the watch after looking at your post.

I had also opened it on the phone first, exploring the refresh. Only noticed the hole in my Modular watch face this morning. After multiple restarts and exploring possible avenues to restore did I finally get it back.

Just updated the app, added it to the watch, and changed the complication. Only other step needed was to launch the app from the phone once (I guess to authenticate?). Works fine, no issues.

Exactly how I did it. And it works perfectly.

Different screens in Ford App 6.0.0 but have not seen appreciable changes in Ford App 6.0.0 vs. the prior Fordpass App 5.28.0

Attached pic is from my iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 26.0.1 … did not see any new iPhone Controls for the Ford App, still have just these 3 controls:
Lock Vehicle
Unlock Vehicle
Start Vehicle

None of those 3 controls work from my System Services pulldown on my iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 26.0.1
