Thanks Albert, this is helpful. Two corrections from testing. Reset Location & Privacy does not appear to exist on watchOS 26.6. On the watch, Settings > General > Reset offers only Erase All Content and Settings and Reset Home Screen Layout. In the iPhone's Watch app, General > Reset offers Erase Apple Watch Content and Settings, Reset Home Screen Layout, Reset Sync Data, and Remove All Cellular Plans. No privacy reset on either surface. Screenshots attached. Deleting the app does not clear the state. I deleted the app from both the iPhone and the watch, power cycled both, and reinstalled. The iPhone worked immediately without re-prompting, and the watch continued to fail without prompting. Both devices retained their prior opt-in state across a full delete and reinstall. On deployment targets, we are on iOS 18.6 / watchOS 11.6 to keep support for existing users on older hardware, and we have not yet moved to 26. That raises a question I would like your read on: could building against a watchOS 11.6 deployment target, while running on watchOS 26.6, put the app on older App Intents behavior for phrase matching or the consent prompt? If bumping the deployment target would change this, that is useful for us to know. Thanks also for the clarification on INPreferences.siriAuthorizationStatus(). That matches what we saw, it reports authorized on the affected device, so it is not usable as a signal.
