I cannot receive calls on my Apple Watch Series 6...

-I can make calls on my watch.

-I cannot receive calls on my watch. When my phone rings, nothing happens on my watch.

-I can even see missed calls on the watch!

-My watch has worked for approximately 1.5 years. This is a sudden change, out of the blue.

-I'm on Mint Mobile, but have been for a while. Again this is a random issue, that started a day or two ago.

-Software is up-to-date.

-Turned off and on.

-Did a full factory reset.

-Theater mode is NOT on.


HELP PLEASE!

Hello LEDub2020,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We want to help with your Apple Watch receiving calls. We see you've already done a bit of troubleshooting, good job so far with what you walked through. We have some questions to clarify a few details, then will walk through a few steps to help.


  • Is your Apple Watch a cellular model?
  • When you mention doing a "factory reset", was that on your iPhone or Apple Watch?
    • If it was your Apple Watch, do you mean you unpaired and erased it, then set it up again to your iPhone?
  • Is your iPhone in Lockdown Mode?


Then, check the following:

  1. Make sure your iOS is fully updated: Update your iPhone or iPad
  2. Make sure your watchOS is fully updated: Update your Apple Watch


We look forward to hearing back from you.


Take care.
