Blank screen

I have apple watch 8, my screen went completely blank. It only vibrates when I press the lower side button, but does not respond to anything else.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

Idea! 💡


What happens if you press and hold BOTH the Digital Crown AND the side button for 10-20 seconds?

This action causes a Forced Restart. Maybe that's all it needs and the screen will start working again when it reboots!!

That would be sweet, right??

Give that a try and let us know what happens 😉
