can't use your
Apple Watch with multiple iPhones if you really want to, like your home and work iPhone, or yours and your significant other's iPhone. But it does mean it will take some work. In short, you'll need to pair, un-pair, and re-pair your Apple Watch every time you switch iPhones. Yeah, really. The good news is: we can walk you through it! <!--break--></p> <h2>How to switch your Apple Watch from one iPhone to another</h2> <ol><li><strong>Pair</strong> your <strong>first iPhone</strong> with your Apple Watch using the Apple Watch app. <ul><li>
How to pair your iPhone to your Apple Watch</li> </ul></li> <li>When you want to switch, <strong>un-pair</strong> your <strong>first iPhone</strong>, also using the Apple Watch app. (This will create a backup of your Apple Watch configuration and store it on your iPhone.) <ul><li>
How to un-pair your iPhone from your Apple Watch</li> </ul></li> <li><strong>Pair</strong> your <strong>second iPhone</strong> with your Apple Watch.</li> <li>When you want to switch back, <strong>un-pair</strong> your <strong>second iPhone</strong> using the Apple Watch app.</li> <li><strong>Re-pair</strong> your first iPhone, this time choosing <strong>Restore from backup</strong> to preserve as many of your settings and customizations as possible.</li> </ol><p>To continue switching between iPhones, repeat the process, un-parining and re-pairing each time</p> <p>Note: Since Apple Watch backups are stored on the iPhone, any changes you make while using your first iPhone won't carry over to your second. If you want everything to be the same each time, you'll need to repeat any app or glance installations, and redo any configuration changes, every time you switch from one to the other.</p> <p>Total pain, absolutely. That's why work arounds have the word
work in them!</p> <div class="devicebox"> <h3>
