I’m trying to pair my iPhone 14 with my Apple Watch Ultra using the camera and I get a message that says iPhone needs to upgrade to iOS 16.6 I verified my iPhone is up-to-date with iOS 16.6 I tried to pair it manually and after thinking for a while I get a message that says “unpairing”. I turned off the watch and phone and try it again, but got the same result.
iPhone 7, iOS 15

2. Tap the "i" buttonnext to the watch that you want to unpair, then tap Unpair Apple Watch.
3. Tap again to confirm, then wait for the watch to unpair.
