Getting calls on both Watch & iPhone:

Getting calls on both Watch & iPhone:

Previously, when getting a call on my iPhone I would simultaneously get a notice on my Apple Watch -- which included an option to Decline or Accept.

Lately I have lost this capacity -- which was so eminently convenient!

Now the call is only registered on my iPhone -- subsequently the watch will notify me that a call had been received (too late and no option to accept/decline).

How can I restore that original situation of simultaneity?

TIA, I really liked that option to deal with robocalls!!!!

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

Have you tried rebooting both the phone and your watch?

Also, make sure your watch is unlocked.

Re-starting the Apple Watch solved my problem.

My previous 2 posts were unclear: I took pic of my watch to see if the image showed correctly that Bluetooth & Wi-Fi were properly turned ON on my Watch.

When I then saw your final post, I just waited to see if my problem were solved.

It was not, so I first rebooted the Watch and that restored the function I was missing.

So much fun to zap those robocalls!
