Phone rings when on silent
My iPhone 11 rings when on silent when connected to my Apple Watch.
I don’t have any emergency bypasses set either.
Its very bizarre.
Can you help?

Hello Nakishaun,
It would appear that your iPhone is ringing while on silent while connected to your Apple Watch.
Does this happen when the watch is not connected?
We would start by opening the Watch app on the iPhone. Tap on Notifications > Phone and make sure "Mirror my iPhone" is selected. You can also try toggling this selection. This can reset the connection.
Test and see if it helps.
Cheers

Hello Nakishaun,
The next thing we would do is unpair the watch and then pair it again.
To unpair the watch, follow these instructions: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support The watch will be backed up to the iPhone when this is done. You can find information about what is backed up with your Apple Watch here: Back up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
As pointed out in that article, to back up Health and Fitness data, you need to use iCloud or an encrypted iTunes backup.
Once the watch is unpaired, you can pair it back to the iPhone by following these steps: Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Test it after these steps.
Have a good day.
Hi there
Thanks for the idea however it didn’t seem to work.
It never used to do this and has only been happening over the last couple of months.
Any other suggestions?
