What models are the iPhone and the watch?


My watch (Series 8 (wOS 9)) and my phone (14 Pro Max (iOS 16.2)) both ring together.


On your phone, in the Watch app, check here:

Scroll down to "Phone" and click it.

Is the watch set to "Mirror my iPhone"?


On your phone go into Settings (gear icon), > Phone. In here, is "Calls on Other Devices" off? If it's on, turn it off. It might seem backwards but after you read the description for that setting, you'll see that it's not.


Try those things and let us know if it worked ;-)
