Issue with pasting text from iPhone to Apple Watch

Title: "Issue with pasting text from iPhone to Apple Watch"

Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble pasting text from my iPhone to my Apple Watch when the text bar is open on my phone. Here's what's happening:

1. I tap the notification that says “Enter text on your Apple Watch using your iOS keyboard. Press to type.”

2. I try to paste the text into the field.

3. The text doesn't get pasted to the Apple Watch.

Typing the text using the iOS keyboard works as expected, but pasting text from the iPhone to the Apple Watch doesn't seem to be working. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any suggestions for how to resolve it? Thanks!

Apple Watch Series 7

Greetings yazan131,

It sounds like you are having issues pasting from your iPhone to your Apple Watch. We know how important this is for you, and you’re in the right place to find a resolution.

The first thing to try is a restart of both devices. Restarting can often fix unexpected behavior:

• Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

• Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If you are still having issues after the restart, please let us know which OS versions your iPhone and Apple Watch are running to continue working on this. We'll be here for you.

Cheers!
