Neither My wife nor I own, or ever have owned, an Apple Watch, but keep receiving Recover Apple Watch warning. The notifications started approximately 2 days ago. She has an iPhone 10 and I have an iPhone 8. How can I stop getting the notifications? I have checked the BT and no watches are discoverable and I have completely deleted the Apple Watch app with no affect.
iPhone 8, iOS 15

Is it a virus or malicious software if some kind? Have both phones been hacked simultaneously (seems unlikely)? Or is this a unexpected bug of the newest iOS update?
Again, update to the current iOS 15.6.1 if not already, restart both iPhones, and contact Apple Support if the messages persist.
This message has appeared a few times for a few folks over the years, though in unclear circumstances.
Apple Support might recognize the symptoms more specifically.

No Apple IDs have been shared. The iOS is up to date, and the phones have been restarted multiple times with no effect. Reference picture for full message.
Update to iOS current, restart both iPhones, and contact Apple if the messages persist.
the errant message is probably this one:
“Recover Apple Watch There is a problem with this Apple Watch that requires it to be updated or restored”
I’ll assume you are not sharing an Apple ID here, as that tends to get things snarled.
Is it a virus or malicious software if some kind? Have both phones been hacked simultaneously (seems unlikely)? Or is this a unexpected bug of the newest iOS update?
