- What exactly occurs when you do try adjusting the volume for your iPhone from your watch? The more details you provide, the better we'll understand what's happening.
- You mentioned updating your watch recently, but the latest version for your model is watchOS 9.5. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to update: Update your Apple Watch
- If you're using a compatible iPhone model, the latest version is iOS 16.5. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then update: Update your iPhone or iPad
