Apple Watch connecting to WiFi without iPhone
If you power off your iPhone and Apple Watch and turn back on only your Apple Watch, should it connect to the WiFi it was using previously using?
I accidentally restored my iPhone and for got to disconnect my watch but it is also disconnected from the cloud?
Hmmm not sure what to say in that situation but I would imagine since you did a restore you would lose connection that’s my guess.
Hi
Yes, if the Wi-Fi network is compatible with and known to your Apple Watch. The same also applies if your iPhone is placed into Airplane Mode (which is a quicker way to check).
Whenever your Apple Watch cannot connect to the paired iPhone via Bluetooth, it will attempt, as a fallback, to connect to a trusted Wi-Fi network - this being a compatible 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network that your iPhone has connected to before whilst your Apple Watch was connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth. Apple Watch cannot connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi networks or to public networks that require logins, subscriptions or profiles.
To check whether your Apple Watch has connected to Wi-Fi, open Control Centre (when viewing the time, swipe up on the screen) and check for the Wi-Fi symbol at the upper-left of the display:
If your Apple Watch does not connect to Wi-Fi, then follow these steps:
- Firstly, ensure that your Apple Watch and iPhone are connected via Bluetooth and also that your iPhone is connected to your Wi-Fi network:
- On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Wi-Fi:
- Tap on the "i" / info icon to the right of your Wi-Fi network name > tap on Forget This Network.
- With your Apple Watch still connected via Bluetooth, reconnect your iPhone to your Wi-Fi network, being sure to check that you are connecting to a 2.4 GHz network.
- Pause for a few moments to allow the Wi-Fi information to be shared to your Apple Watch.
- On your iPhone, enable Airplane Mode:
- Check whether your Apple Watch has successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network by checking for the Wi-Fi icon at the upper-left of Control Centre (allow a short while for it to connect after losing the connection with your iPhone):
- When finished, turn off Airplane Mode on your iPhone.
- If you have not yet done so and if the feature is supported on your plan, you may also wish to enable Wi-Fi Calling on your devices:
- On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling.
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Phone.
- Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling - Apple Support
Thanks, I forgot about the 5GHz WiFi. I got onto my 2.4 and was able getting connected using your scenario and mine. Thanks again.
