HI, I am having a problem with sending text replies from the I watch to just one of my contacts, all others are fine. when I receive a message from this person it is in English yet if I go to reply all the presets and any dictated text I go to send back are in Japanese? If I use the iPhone to reply it's fine and all in English? Big problem as the contact is the wife lol

Try this:


  • Lock your iPhone screen.
  • Start a Messages reply to your wife on your Apple Watch, then press the power button once on your iPhone to bring up the lock screen.
  • On the lower left of the lock screen on your iPhone, swipe up on the Message icon > this should open the conversation with your wife on your iPhone.
  • Look for a globe symbol near the space bar on your iPhone keyboard > press it and choose the English keyboard.
  • Type a few letters to confirm the keyboard choice for this conversation, then delete them.
  • Return to Messages on your watch and cancel all the way out from the current screen.
  • Test again.
