How can I correct name on Apple Watch after upgrading my iPhone? My iwatch8 changed my name to now use the first person listed on my contacts since activating my new iphone16 pro . I have double checked the name under I watch profile and also the health app. They both show my correct name, and have not changed when transferring my information from my old phone to my new phone. What would be the steps to correct this? I see this issue has been going on for a few years per previous threads? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Kj1016, On your iPhone iWatch App open it and scroll down to Contacts and click. Then if your iPhone Contacts displays your name the way you want check on Mirror my iPhone.
