I am trying to pair my samsung watch to my iphone13 through the WearOS app as instructed. (previously connected to my iphoneXR) During pairing it tell me to dicconect the watch from bluetooth.
When i use the widget to look at bluetooth connections items it lists my samsung watch (that i am trying to pair) and will not let me hold and disconnect. But when i open bluetooth through settings it is not listed.
Has anybody else had issues with bluetooth?
iPhone 13, iOS 15
That sounds like a Samsung issue, so Samsung support is where you should go.
If it isn’t listed in Settings/Bluetooth on your new phone it is not paired with the new phone. What it probably is telling you is to unpair it from your XR. If you can’t do that you will have to restore the watch to its factory settings (and lose any content on it).

I tried to restore it. Whats strange is that when i pull down on my iphone and hold down the bluetooth button its showing there as connected. When I go through settings its not listed as connected to bluetooth. So my iphone is showing its connected through the widget but not through settings.
That’s entirely possible. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is a BT profile that connects directly between a device and an app, bypassing the requirement to pair with the phone. It is commonly used either for very short range connections such as a medical device (blood pressure cuff, Ouraring, etc) to its app, and also for initial setup of a device that will be paired later to the phone. Many Wyze (wyze.com) devices use BLE for initial setup of the device; you first connect the device to the app, which then “manages” the rest of the setup to the phone.
When i'm in the app trying to connect it tells me to discconnect bluetooth and then starts the whole problem all over again.
I've tried resetting netword settings, rebooting, I think the next suggestions was to downgrade my ios to set the watch up.
It wants you to disconnect Bluetooth from the OLD phone; the watch is still connected to the old phone. And if you can’t do that you need to reset the watch to factory settings.
And you can’t downgrade iOS. Downgrading is not supported by Apple.
