Apple Watch not syncing old texts
Got an Apple Watch for my son for Christmas. It’s a series 2 and he’s using an IPhone XR. The watch will not sync his old text messages. Any ideas?

Good day, Sabrinacalfe.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. As I understand it, your son is unable to sync messages to his new Apple Watch. I know that having access to your messages is important, so I’m happy to lend a hand.
To start, can you confirm that the Apple Watch was set up using these steps? Set up your Apple Watch.
If so, please answer the following questions.
- Which watchOS and iOS version is your son using?
- Do any messages sync?
- Does your son use iCloud for messages?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Cheers!
