For the last 3 weeks everytime I get close to my iPad Pro (12.9 4th Gen). My phones asks me to pair an Apple Watch. After I tell it cancel its fine for a couple hours or until I walk away and come back to my iPad. Can someone help me figure out why my iPad is prompting my phone to set up an Apple Watch. Thank You.
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15
Hey there, Trammer!
Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.
We want to make sure your devices are all working as expected, including those Apple Watch prompts. To clarify, do you currently use an Apple Watch at all? Or is the iPhone prompting you to connect a device that you do not own? If you do have an Apple Watch, we would recommend that you try to erase and pair that watch again to see if this helps resolve those unexpected prompts. Here's where to start: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch
If you don't have an Apple Watch at all, we'd recommend that you update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS and see if that helps: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
We hope that this information is helpful.
Have a great day!
Hey Trammer,
It might be a good idea to double check if your iPad is using the same Apple ID as the rest of your devices. We're also wondering if you recovered an iPhone backup when you set your iPad up, by chance?
If you're still stuck then we'd recommend reaching out to Apple directly for further assistance. You can start here: Contact Apple Support
Cheers!
Karina184, I have an Apple Watch and tried today the unpairing and erasing of my Apple Watch. It was good for about 4 hours but now it is doing it again. Any other ideas?
