Unpair phone from Apple Watch in family sharing

Someone paired an Apple Watch to my iPhone without my permission so they could spy and steal from me. How do I reverse this

Try this steps


  1. Keep your Apple Watch and iPhone close together as you unpair them.
  2. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  3. Go to the My Watch tab and tap All Watches.
  4. Tap the info button  next to the watch that you want to unpair. 
  5. Tap Unpair Apple Watch.
  6. Tap Unpair [your Apple Watch name].
  7. For GPS + Cellular models, choose whether to keep or remove your cellular plan. 
    • If you want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, keep your plan. 
    • If you don't want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, remove your plan. If you aren't going to pair with a different watch or iPhone, you might need to contact your carrier to cancel your cellular subscription. 
  1. Type your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock, then tap Unpair. 



And if you think someone added a watch to your phone without your permissions, please change your Apple ID password and your devices passcode, as those might be compromised
