A little help.
A stronger connection.

1. Install the WatchBridge apps intended for your release on your iPhone and supported Wear OS watch.
2. Turn on Bluetooth on both devices and keep them close together.
3. Open WatchBridge on the watch. In Settings, open Phone connection and enable the connection options shown.
4. Open WatchBridge on your iPhone and follow its watch setup instructions. Confirm any matching pairing code on both devices and approve your phone on the watch if asked.
5. Allow the permissions for the features you want, including notification sharing when your iPhone asks.

Account linking is a separate step. Scan the watch’s account code inside the WatchBridge iPhone app and confirm that both verification codes match.

WatchBridge does not replace the watch manufacturer’s initial setup. Some watches need their supported Android setup process before WatchBridge can be installed.

1. Bring the devices close together and check that Bluetooth is on.
2. Open WatchBridge on both devices. On the watch, check Settings → Phone connection for the affected connection and choose its reconnect action.
3. On iPhone, check WatchBridge’s Bluetooth permission in Settings. On the watch, check its Nearby devices permission.
4. Keep WatchBridge’s phone connection enabled. The app is designed to keep the connection independent of the watch screen.
5. If needed, restart WatchBridge, then restart the devices when no call is in progress.

Do not reset your watch or remove the Bluetooth pairing as a first step. If reconnection keeps failing, contact us with the time it happened and the message shown.

No. With the phone connection enabled, WatchBridge is designed to keep working when the watch screen sleeps. Ordinary Bluetooth interruptions should recover automatically within the app’s retry limits.

Range, permissions and system background restrictions can still interrupt a connection. If it needs attention, open WatchBridge and check Phone connection. Repeatedly pressing Start Advertising should not be part of normal use.

The account-linking code is for the WatchBridge iPhone app, not a website link. Use WatchBridge’s account-linking scanner. Keep both apps open while linking, compare the verification codes and confirm on the watch only if they match.

The code is short-lived. If it expires, request a new one. If the app says linking is unavailable, check that you’re signed in and contact support rather than repeatedly resetting or pairing your watch.

1. Check that Notifications & music is connected in the watch’s Phone connection settings. A connected iPhone companion app alone does not confirm notification sharing is ready.
2. On iPhone, open Settings → Bluetooth, tap the information button beside the watch and enable Share System Notifications if the option is shown.
3. Check that the message app is allowed to show notifications in iPhone Notification Center. Available content depends on your iPhone notification and preview settings.
4. In WatchBridge, check that the app is not blocked in Notification settings.
5. Ask someone to send a fresh test message. Check notification history on the watch as well as the alert.

If notifications have stopped after an idle period, reconnect Notifications & music once and tell support when the interruption happened.

Check the watch’s Do Not Disturb, Bedtime and notification settings, then check WatchBridge quiet hours and vibration preferences. The watch’s own system settings can silence alerts even when a message is received.

Test with a new message. An entry already in history does not prove a new sound or vibration was delivered.

Notification buttons depend on the actions your iPhone makes available. WatchBridge does not support arbitrary text replies to SMS, iMessage or WhatsApp from the watch.

Call actions and audio availability vary by device and the iPhone’s current notification. An available action does not guarantee that call audio can use the watch’s speaker. Do not rely on WatchBridge as your only way to receive or handle urgent calls.

Your iPhone can publish separate incoming-call and missed-call alerts for the same call. They may appear as separate history entries. Check each entry’s category and time.

If an active-call alert remains after the call has ended, allow a short time for the iPhone update. If it persists, reconnect notifications and contact support with the alert category and approximate time, without sending the caller’s personal details.

1. Start a song in your music app on the iPhone and confirm that it is actually playing.
2. On the watch, check that Notifications & music is connected, then open Music.
3. Try Play/Pause or Next and check the actual result on your iPhone.
4. If the track stays stale, use Phone connection to reconnect Notifications & music.

Music apps differ in the information and controls they share. Missing artwork alone does not mean the connection is broken. WatchBridge can show a placeholder when artwork is unavailable.

On supported watches, an automatic music indicator can appear while the iPhone is playing. Tap it to open WatchBridge Music. Its appearance depends on the watch’s system software and watch face.

You can also add the WatchBridge Music Tile, or choose its complication on a compatible watch face. These optional shortcuts do not replace the Music entry inside WatchBridge.

YouTube Music and other compatible iPhone media apps can share track information and controls. The controls available depend on the player and its current playback session.

Start playback on the iPhone first. If one app does not provide a particular control or artwork, WatchBridge cannot add information the player does not supply.

Open Account in the WatchBridge iPhone app. Choose Create Account with email and password, or Sign in with Apple when offered. If you use email, complete the verification email and return to the app.

Use the same sign-in method for your existing account. Never share your password, verification codes or account-linking QR code with support.

WatchBridge is launching as a free application. You do not need to start a trial or buy access for the free release. Secure account linking and Bluetooth permission checks still protect your connection.

If an earlier test build shows trial wording or a purchase requirement, contact support with its version number. Do not make a payment to troubleshoot a connection.

1. Open the Account section in the WatchBridge iPhone app and choose Delete account.
2. Read the confirmation carefully. Confirm with your current password or the same Apple sign-in method used for the account.
3. Wait for the app to report deletion. If it reports that cleanup is pending, follow its guidance or contact support before creating a replacement account.

Uninstalling the app or signing out does not delete your cloud account. Account deletion does not factory-reset the watch or automatically erase separately stored local data, Apple Health records or Photos. Manage those separately in the app or the relevant system settings.

If you cannot access the app or your account, email charmedfrancis@gmail.com for help. We may need to verify account ownership; never email your password or sign-in codes.

Not necessarily. A brand name alone does not establish compatibility. Bluetooth capabilities, system version, background behaviour, speakers and sensors vary. See the compatibility information below before choosing a watch.

Allow the health permissions requested for the measurements you want, and wear the watch securely for heart rate. A watch only shows measurements its supported sensors and health services provide. Some readings are delayed or unavailable.

WatchBridge does not assume access to historical Fitbit data or sleep records. Health sharing is optional. For any unexpected reading, check the watch’s fit and the sensor’s own guidance; WatchBridge is not a medical device.

The remote is designed for the WatchBridge camera experience on your iPhone. Open that camera screen in the compatible iPhone app first. It does not promise remote control of Apple’s built-in Camera app.

Check permissions, bring the devices together, reopen the apps and reconnect the affected feature. Note your watch model, iPhone model, app versions and approximate time of the issue.

A screenshot of the error can help, but hide names, messages, health values, email addresses and account codes. Do not erase the watch or remove its pairing unless support walks you through a necessary recovery.
