Q: Screen Curtain

Hi

Try one of the following methods for turning off VoiceOver and Screen Curtain:

• On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > turn off VoiceOver.

• If your watch is not locked: press and hold the Digital Crown until Siri starts listening (confirmed via a haptic pulse) > release the Digital Crown and tell Siri "turn off VoiceOver" > keep your wrist raised until you feel another pulse to confirm that your instruction has been accepted > Siri will then turn off VoiceOver and Screen Curtain.

• If the Accessibility Shortcut has been enabled and configured for VoiceOver, turn off VoiceOver and Screen Curtain by pressing the Digital Crown (the round button on the side of your watch) three times in a row.

If you are unable to turn off VoiceOver via the previous steps, then follow this process:

• Place your watch on the charger, with power connected.
• Press and hold the Side button for around 3-4 seconds.
• Although Screen Curtain is preventing you from seeing it, the active screen is now this:

• Press firmly on the screen in the area where the Power Off slider is located, then lift your finger off.
• The active (but still hidden) screen is now this:

• Tap once in the area where "Erase all content and settings" is located to select that option, then double-tap twice on the screen to select it.
• Your watch will now be erased, following which you can pair it with your iPhone again (choose to Restore from Backup if offered the option):
  • Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
