My apple watch connected to someone elses phone when I used siri to make a call. Anyone else have this issue?

Apple Watch series 2 42mm

Current OS

My watch stays paired to my phone, I don't know how this is possible. We were both on the same wifi network, but that shouldn't have anything to do with the issue.

Should you wish to share eligible past and future purchases (iTunes music, apps, books, etc), you can still do so via Family Sharing:


The following articles provide instructions for:

The person who sets up a new Apple ID should also first unpair their watch from their iPhone and then pair it again after the iPhone has been configured to use the new Apple ID:
