I bought an Apple Watch and I can’t pair it with my phone because it’s asking for an account that is associated with somebody I no longer talk to. I’ve had multiple iPhones since I got the first phone that is associated with this persons account. Why Is it asking me for this account that has nothing to do with my current phone? Anybody know how to fix this?
That is what is confusing. The Apple Watch is brand new and it’s been many iPhones since the previous owners iPhone that was pasted down to me. I’ve even switched carriers.
It’s not about iPhones or carriers, the only thing that matters is the account (Apple ID). If it is locked to one account, it needs to be removed from said account or it won’t work. This also shows, that your watch is not brand new. It must’ve been used at one point, even if it was just for a short time.
