To get your Apple Watch out of disabled mode, follow these steps:
1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone: Make sure your iPhone is connected to the internet and open the Apple Watch app. This app allows you to manage and configure settings for your Apple Watch.
2. Tap on the “My Watch” tab: Once you have opened the Apple Watch app, navigate to the “My Watch” tab at the bottom of the screen. This tab displays all the settings and options for your Apple Watch.
3. Select the “Passcode” option: Scroll down the list of options until you find the “Passcode” section. Tap on it to access the passcode settings for your Apple Watch.
4. Tap on “Unlock with iPhone”: In the passcode settings, you will see an option called “Unlock with iPhone.” This feature allows your iPhone to unlock your Apple Watch when they are in close proximity and your iPhone is unlocked. Toggle this option on if it isn’t already.
5. Enter your Apple Watch passcode: If your Apple Watch is still disabled, you will be prompted to enter your passcode. Enter the passcode you set up for your Apple Watch. If you forgot your passcode, you can try entering it multiple times until you see the option to unlock using your iPhone.
6. Use your iPhone to unlock your Apple Watch: Once you have entered the correct passcode or enabled the option to unlock using your iPhone, you can use your iPhone to unlock your Apple Watch. Make sure your iPhone is unlocked and in close proximity to your Apple Watch. The two devices should automatically connect and unlock each other.
If the above steps are not successful in getting your Apple Watch out of disabled mode, you may need to consider resetting your Apple Watch. Please note that resetting your Apple Watch will erase all data and settings, so it’s important to have a backup if possible. Here’s how to reset your Apple Watch:
1. On your Apple Watch, press and hold the side button until the Power Off slider appears.
2. Drag the Power Off slider to the right to turn off your Apple Watch.
3. Press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.
4. Release the side button and wait for your Apple Watch to restart.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Apple Watch again, including pairing it with your iPhone.
Remember to restore from a backup if you have one available to recover your previous settings and data.
If you continue to experience issues with your Apple Watch being disabled, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your situation and help resolve any underlying issues.
