Two iPhones, two apple watches, one mac account.

Hi, my wife and I have an iPhone each on one iCloud account. This was no problem until we got two apple watches. Now if i get a call my wife's apple watch rings! I assume that another account is needed but not sure how to proceed.

Hi


It is normal for Apple Watch and iPhone to both ring for incoming calls.


How notifications behave depends on the status of your devices and your settings. With Wrist Detection enabled, in order to bring notifications to your attention as soon as possible:


  • If your iPhone is unlocked, then you will receive notification alerts on your iPhone instead of on your Apple Watch.
  • If your iPhone is locked or asleep and your Apple Watch is unlocked (regardless of whether the watch display is asleep or awake) and on your wrist, you will receive notification alerts on your watch.
  • If your Apple Watch is locked or has Do Not Disturb enabled, then notifications will go to your iPhone.
  • Alerts for incoming phone calls are delivered to both devices.
