why is the messages icon on my Apple Watch white instead of green?
Apple Watch Messages icon is white instead of the standard green after updating to iOS 4. It’s a version 2 watch not the new 3.
Hi
Whilst I can't say why that is the case, the following steps may help (check after each):
If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:
- Update the iOS on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
- Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Restart both your iPhone and your Apple Watch, turning both off together, then restarting your iPhone first:
Unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch:
- The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app.
- Initially choose to Restore from Backup during set up (most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions, such as Apple Pay cards, passcode).
- If the issue persists, consider instead unpairing and setting it up as a new watch.
- Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
- Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
