Pairing process stalled. Can’t reset
Pairing Apple Watch to new iPhone. Process stalled. Can’t reset. Seems frozen
Question marked as
Have you tried a forced restart?
If it seems like the pairing process has stalled — for example, the pairing animation remains on the screen for several minutes — resetting your Apple Watch might help:
- Press and hold the Digital Crown while your Apple Watch is in pairing mode.
- Tap Reset when it appears on your watch.
- After your watch resets, you can pair again.
