2 Phones, 1 Watch - Receiving Phone Calls

Just a thought (and a wonder)...

Usually two watches would be signed into two different Apple ID's. I assume that both of these watches are using the same Apple ID.

Is that how this phenomenon is occurring and would it be better to create a new Apple ID for the unpaired watch?? 🤷‍♂️

The user would then be able to turn that setting back on and be notified on his computer once again?? 🤷‍♂️

Edit: Taking it a step further... Once the unpaired watch has its own Apple ID, it could be set up on Family Sharing, yes??

Ah gee! The issue is two phones and ONE watch. I had it backwards in my mind.

So... Now I see the dilemma.

Both phones are using the same Apple ID and since both phones are active (cellular plans) you wouldn't want to manipulate the Apple ID on either.

If one phone didn't have service and was just used as a... Calculator... then creating a new Apple ID for that phone wouldn't be an issue.

Interesting 🤔

Yes I have a iphone 12 and iphone 7

Since I turned on Advanced Data Protection in iCloud I had to remove the 7 (and my old macbook pro) from my iCloud and created a new Apple ID just for them. Phone is fully functional, I just can't get to my icloud documents.

On the non paired phone check in Bluetooth settings that it is not paired to the Watch

In Settings, Phone on the non-paired iphone turn off Calls on Other Devices.

You're welcome, glad I could help. You can always ask e a more selective setting as a feature request.

An unpaired Watch is useless apart from telling the time (if you're lucky)
