iOS Gears Everything About ios
If you get a new Apple Watch or iPhone, you’ll want to unpair and reset your old one.
There are also lots of other reasons you may need to reset your Apple Watch. Perhaps you’re having a software problem you think a restore may fix. Regardless of the reason, unpairing it and resetting it to factory settings is simple enough, both from your iPhone and on your Apple Watch itself.
How to unpair and reset Apple Watch with your iPhone
- Launch the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap on Apple Watch under the My Watch tab.
- Tap on Unpair Apple Watch.
- Tap on Unpair in the popup menu to confirm.
- Type in a passcode if required.
