Answered by DTS Engineer in 795594022

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing connectivity issues between your iPhone and Apple Watch after installing iOS 18 beta. Please provide as much information as possible, such as what version of iOS you have installed on your phone and if you have updated your watch as well, to what version.

Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check for Software Updates: Make sure that both your iPhone and Apple Watch are running the latest versions of the iOS 18 beta. Sometimes, an update can resolve minor connectivity glitches.
Force Quit Companion App: On your iPhone, open the App Switcher by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and flicking up on the Companion App. Then, reopen it.
Unpair and Re-pair Apple Watch: Go to your iPhone’s Settings > Bluetooth. Tap the ‘i’ next to your Apple Watch, then follow the prompts to unpair. After that, go through the pairing process again.
Reset Network Settings on iPhone: As a last resort, try resetting your iPhone’s network settings. But be cautious as this will delete all Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular data settings, etc. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Check iCloud Sync: Make sure that your iCloud sync is enabled for Apple Watch. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Apple Watch and ensure that iCloud Backup and other relevant apps are syncing.

If none of these steps work, it might be a more specialized issue or you found a bug. Please submit a complete bug report regarding this issue using Feedback Assistant (https://feedbackassistant.apple.com).
