6 digit number not showing for manual pairing
I'm not getting the 6 digit number when manually pairing.
Apple Watch
Hi Stan
Before starting the manual pairing process, you may first need to reset your watch:
- On your watch, go to the Home screen (via a single press on the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.
You may then be able to follow the standard pairing process (via the pairing animation).
Otherwise, in order to continue pairing your watch manually, follow these steps:
- Wear Apple Watch on your wrist and choose a language.
- Separately on each device, tap on Start Pairing (on your iPhone, do this within the Watch app).
- Tap Pair Apple Watch Manually on your iPhone.
- Tap the info icon "i" on your Apple Watch (it will be shown now). Your device's name should be displayed on the watch face.
- On your iPhone, tap the device name matching that shown on your Apple Watch face.
- A six-digit code will be displayed on your Apple Watch. Enter that code on your iPhone to pair the two devices.
- Then follow the remaining steps as prompted to Set Up.
