Random phone calls

My watch randomly dials a number in my contacts. Middle of night if I’m wearing it or during day too

iPhone XR, iOS 16

Hi Kathymig,


If you haven't done so yet, restart your iPhone and Apple Watch. Although simple, this step can correct some unexpected issues. If the issue persists after restarting, it's a good idea to make sure your devices are running the latest OS version, as this can help with overall performance: Apple security updates.


If you need more help, reply with the answers to these questions:

  • Does your Apple Watch call the same contact every time this happens?
  • Do you recall anything significant taking place before this behavior started? For example, was a new app or update installed?
  • Is the contact being called from the built-in Phone app, or a different app?


Cheers.
