I have a iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 15 and it will not pair to my Apple Watch series 7. All the articles I find say it is compatible. I have tried via camer and manual input and restarted both devises with Bluetooth and wifi on with no luck.

What do I need to do to connect it?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Hello dagen81,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with pairing your Apple Watch to your iPhone.


1 . First, go through and ensure everything is set up as described here: Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone - Apple Support


2 . Restart both devices, and try again:


Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Restart your Apple Watch


3 . If you still have issues, please try the troubleshooting in the article: "Trouble pairing?


4 . It may be beneficial to try and pair it with a family members device to isolate the issue. If it pairs to their iPhone, you know the watch works. Unpair and erase it, and then try to your device again.


5 . If it also doesn't pair with another iPhone, then you may want to call in or have the Apple Watch checked by a hardware technician. This article talks about pricing and can help you set up a service request: Apple Watch Service and Repair - Apple Support


6 . This article will help you prepare for service, remember to only send in the watch, nothing else: Get your Apple Watch ready for service - Apple Support


Thanks.
