Reminders not syncing in Apple Watch and iPhone

Hello,


I am experiencing Reminders app syncing problem in my Apple Watch SE and iPhone 11. I resolved it by restarting my Apple Watch but this method is not always effective. Is there way to solve this by other means? Better if it will sync real time and I don’t need to restart my Apple Watch everytime I experience this problem.

Hi again,


Thanks for providing us with additional information and checking out that article for us! If you're still experiencing issues with Reminders syncing properly between your devices, we'd recommend unpairing and then pairing your watch to your iPhone again. During the unpair process, your iPhone will create a new backup of the data on your watch so that you may restore from it during the pairing process. To learn how to do this, follow the steps in the articles below:


Unpair and erase your Apple Watch

Set up your Apple Watch


Once you've completed these steps, use your watch as normal and see if there's still any issues occurring with Reminders.


Be well.
