+### General Availability - Apple Watch companion app removed from Authenticator for iOS
+
+

+**Product capability:** Identity Security & Protection

+In the January 2023 release of Authenticator for iOS, there will be no companion app for watchOS due to it being incompatible with Authenticator security features. This means you won't be able to install or use Authenticator on Apple Watch. This change only impacts Apple Watch, so you'll still be able to use Authenticator on your other devices. For more information, see: [Common questions about the Microsoft Authenticator app](https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/common-questions-about-the-microsoft-authenticator-app-12d283d1-bcef-4875-9ae5-ac360e2945dd).
