I unable to connect my Samsung gear s2 smart watch with iPhone 6s after update to ios 14, any suggestions please help me

I managed to connect my Samsung gear S2 to my iPhone running on ios14.3.

All you have to do is (on your gear S2) go to settings and scroll down and click on “connect to new phone”.

This will do a soft reset of the smart watch so you will probably lose your health info on your watch. You can open up the Galaxy Watch app on you iPhone and it will scan for your watch and it should show up allowing you to connect to it.

To be on the safe side make sure your Bluetooth on your iPhone doesn’t have the gear s2 already stored before doing any of this.

I had the same problem, but I found the solution that works for me.

I have a Samsung Gear S2 watch, and Iphone 11 Pro Max (iOS 14.4.2)

First, don't try to connect your Samsung Gear S2 with your iPhone through Galaxy Watch App, but try to connect it through Bluetooth on your phone. First, disconnect all other devices that are connected to your iPhone, and then search for your Samsung Gear S2.

Once it's connected, go to your Galaxy Watch App on the iPhone and connect it to the watch.

Hope this work for you too :)

My iPhone 6s Plus works after restore the iOS. And it connected again. I was switch from iPhone 6s p to iPhone 8. And connected S2 to iPhone 8. Then. I try to go back to 6s P . Then have problems for both. Then I try to connect to my wife 8 plus. It works again. But my wife doesn’t want the S2. So I try to connect back to 6s P. 8P. With S2 function( connect to new phone) Both not working. Then i connect to 5s. It works again. So I found out the S2only connect the phone never been connected it before. So I restored the 6s P and set as new phone. It back to work and connected.

I thing other smart watch is working fine with I phone. The post here is talking Samsung S2 connecting to iPhone. I did try iPhone 5. 6s P. 8. All same problems. Only working is restore ISO and set as a new phone. Do not recover the backup.

only thing I found out to get it works is restored the iPhone and set the iPhone as a new phone. But can not restore the back up. That will make it not connected again. (I did try)

Reset the S2 is not use... the problem is Apple iOS. It only allows you to connect once. So only get it work again is reset the iPhone to the new phone. Also cannot use back up files

One more thing i thought might help. My watch doesn't show as connected from within Bluetooth settings on iOS.

The only way you know it is connected is through the Samsung Galaxy Watch app.

Were you using the watch with another phone? If yes did u unpair it, and remove it from sams cloud?

Contact Samsung and ask them.

I finally broke down and found an older Android phone just to setup the watch.

I have been telling three times here.

reset iPhone to new phone.

do not use the backup.

only new phone can connect the S2.

Same issue after ios update on iPhone SE 128gb 1st edition. No issues before ios upgrade. Everyone in my office, same issue. It isn't a Samsung issue, it occurred after Apple's latest update to ios for everyone in the office except those who haven't updated iOS yet.

SE ios 14 + gear s2 dont work now

The only way to achieve it is to factory reset the phone and configure it as new device only that works. Guaranteed
