Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 10.1.1
Today, my Apple Watch is showing "Happy birthday!" as the top reply suggestion when I scroll down to pick a reply to a text message. I have a customized list of "default replies" and "Happy birthday!" is not on the list. I also have "smart replies" disabled.
It does not appear to be related to a contact's birthday... it is happening on all message threads, even those for which I have not created a contact.
I tried power cycling the watch and it still does it. I tried adjusting the "default replies" to sort of jog it back to having the normal list, and my changes did take effect, but "Happy birthday!" is still listed at the top.
Anyone else ever seen something like this? I'm at a loss so I guess I'll just see if it goes away tomorrow, before going through the process to reset the watch...
