Can’t control iPhone’s volume with the Digital Crown.

Hi,


Since I updated to iOS 15 and Watch OS 8 I can’t control iPhone’s volume from Apple Watch.


iPhone 12 Pro Max

Watch Series 6


Forced reset on both devices already.


I can see the app running on iPhone but can’t control the volume.


Any clue?

Hi gustavo bravetti ,


Thanks for the update.


Let's go ahead and unpair the Apple Watch from the iPhone, restart both of them and pair the Apple Watch again: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch

Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone

If the issue persists, Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support




Take care.
