How to connect and sync Apple Watch to iPad?

If you don't have an iPhone with you, but have already purchased a smartwatch, don't despair. No, you don't have to use them all the way as a replacement for mechanical ones, unless, of course, you have an iPad. In fact, connecting to it is no different from connecting to an iPhone, because they are similar.

The whole peculiarity is that Steve Jobs' company had previously foreseen all possible situations, and, as it turned out, you can connect the iWatch to another gadget from Apple.

What should I do if I need to unpair my iWatch from my iPhone or iPad and then renew it?

If it suddenly happens that you mistakenly or intentionally break the connection between your smartwatch and another “carrying” Apple device, you shouldn’t be upset. All parameters entered and specified by you, in general, all information will be saved in iCloud. In case of re-pairing, and if you need the old settings, you need to select "Restore backup". Afterwards everything will resume.

Two ways to sync Apple Watch with iOS devices

1. Auto. What could be easier than pointing the camera at a smartwatch? Point your smartphone camera at the watch within the yellow frame. This simple action automatically synchronizes your smart device and your Apple device.
2. Manual. Tap the “i” symbol on your watch (located at the bottom right) to start synchronizing. The display will show serial number devices. Take in iPhone hands(or iPad) and click on “Pair Apple Watch Manually”. After this you need to enter .

Instead of a conclusion

It's obvious that you can connect iWatch not only to iPhone, but also to other devices from Apple, for example, iPad. To do this, you just need to synchronize the two devices. All functions and situations are provided by the manufacturer, which makes smart watches widely used in modern society. And the rhetorical question, well, should not arise.

This article will talk about how you can connect an Android watch to an iPhone. Finally, this has become possible, and you don’t even have to jailbreak your Apple smartphone.

The first to do this was a programmer under the nickname Mohammad AG: in confirmation, he published a video where it is clearly visible that notifications from the iPhone are perfectly transmitted to the wonderful “smart” watch. Unfortunately, the craftsman never released his application for synchronization, which other programmers successfully coped with, thanks to which any owner of both a smartphone and a tablet from Apple without special problems will be able to connect an Android smartwatch to his gadget.

It is noteworthy that for the first connection you will still have to use a phone based on operating system from Google. This is where you will first need to connect your watch. As an example, the Sony SmartWatch 3 was linked to Xperia smartphones Z3. After this you will need to install it on your smartphone free application Aerlink, which will instantly appear in the main menu of the smartwatch.

For the next manipulation you will need to use already an iPhone. You need to download a small utility called BLE Utility from the app store and run it. Next, take the watch and open the previously downloaded Aerlink program on it and try to search for devices. While the watch is searching for a smartphone, on the iPhone we go to the Peripheral tab.

Now the devices are guaranteed to find each other, you just need to enter the connection code without errors. This is how a working connection between iOS and Android Wear is done.

Possibilities

What can a smart watch do when paired with an Apple gadget? Any notifications work just great. When you swipe any of them, the notification will instantly disappear on your smartphone. Music control does not raise any questions: both volume control and rewind work. Of course, accepting and rejecting calls also works great, with the dialer look on the watch being designed in a style very reminiscent of iOS.

Flaws

Not without a fly in the ointment. For example, the watch always shows that some error occurred when connecting to an Android smartphone. Also, the Internet does not work, therefore, voice Google management not available. It is not possible to reply to an incoming message using voice, and long text cannot be expanded.

But the utility provides opportunities previously unavailable to iOS users. In addition, thanks to the utility, the watch works with both iOS and Android devices, and battery consumption remains at the same level. This method with an Android watch is suitable for those who, for some reason, do not like the recently released ones or want to have a round “smart” watch at their disposal.

The devices are gradually being distributed to users and therefore it’s time to discuss setting up the watch and synchronizing it with the iPhone.

The first step is to turn on the device. To do this, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. After this, a menu will appear from which you can select a language.

Then a window will appear in which you will be prompted to launch the Apple Watch application on your iPhone (it is automatically installed when you update the firmware to iOS versions 8.2).
Once the application is open, click the button Start Pairing— a specific animation will appear on the screen.

At the same time, after launching on your iPhone programs Apple Watch, also click in it Start Pairing.
Next, there are two possible synchronization methods - automatic using the camera and manual. In order to use the first method, you must send iPhone camera on so that the watch display is within the yellow square on the smartphone screen. In this case, the devices are automatically synchronized.

In order to take advantage manually you need to click on the symbol “ i» in the lower right corner of the display. The identification number of your gadget will appear on the screen. You should click on the menu in the application on your smartphone Pair Apple Watch Manually and manually enter the watch number.
After this, synchronization will be completed.

Next, in the iPhone application, click on the button Set Up Apple Watch and in the window that opens, select which wrist you will wear the watch on.
Next, a standard window will appear in which you should indicate that you agree to all the company’s terms and conditions.
After this, a screen will appear with a field in which you must enter the password for your Apple ID.
The next window will provide information about your device's location services. You cannot refuse to use it, so click on the button OK and move on to the next step.
Next, a message appears stating that you can use the Siri virtual assistant on your watch to write messages and make calls. Click again OK.
In the next window you will be asked if you agree to send (in automatic mode) Apple bug information for improvement. Choose any answer option and move on.
Now you have the opportunity to create a password for your watch. This function necessary in order to protect data if the gadget is lost or stolen. The system will prompt you for a password every time you put the watch on your wrist.
Creating a password is an optional step, but if you decide to add one, then click Create a Passcode. You should then enter the code twice on your watch.

Thanks to the password you will be able to unlock from your iPhone. When you enter the password on your smartphone, the watch will automatically unlock (if you have it on your wrist). If the watch is not with you, you will have to enter a password each time in order to use the data on it. If you agree to these terms, then click Yes and move on to the next step. It is important to know that you can refuse to use a password at any time by changing this item in the settings.

Next, you can install the versions of the watch application already installed on your smartphone. You can also postpone this step until later.
And finally, the last setting item is synchronization with iCloud. Photos, calendars, notes can now be viewed on your watch. In addition, your Email accounts that you use on your iPhone are synchronized. This stage may take some time.
The setup and synchronization is completed and the device is ready for use.

The Apple Watch is a device that is designed to work side by side with the iPhone. This is an iPhone accessory, they have a very close relationship. That's why Apple setup Watch looks, in many ways, like a rig peripheral device or package software on your computer. But in this case, you are "installing an accessory" for your iPhone. After pairing them, all the necessary applications will also be installed.

Pairing a smartwatch and an iPhone is a fairly simple process, but it does take some time; be prepared to spend at least 20 minutes. Also, make sure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on on your iPhone, as the Apple Watch needs Bluetooth to connect to your iPhone. Lastly, you must have an iPhone 5 or later; the Apple Watch does not work with other phones.

Step 1: Connect Charger to the clock.
Apple Watch comes fully charged, but to ensure safety, simply plug in the included charger and secure the magnetic end to the back of Apple Watch.

Step 2: Turn on your Apple Watch.
You can press the side button for 1-2 seconds and you will see the Apple logo. You will be prompted to select a language. Click on the one you need and continue working.

Step 3: Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
Your watch will now show a message asking you to open the Apple Watch app that came pre-installed on your iPhone a few weeks earlier (if you've already updated to iOS 8.2 or later). Do this and you should now be able to start the connection process.

Step 4: Point your iPhone camera at the Apple Watch screen.
Just do what the app asks: try it, it should work and pairing will happen automatically. When everything works out, you will see an animated point cloud that will show the success of the process. If this fails, you can pair the devices manually: click on the "i" on the Apple Watch display and you will see the name of the Apple Watch device listed. In the iPhone app, select your Apple Watch device name as soon as it appears. The watch will then give you a six-digit code that you can enter into the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. It's a bit like activating the Apple TV app.

Step 5: Agree to all terms and create a password.
You will be asked to accept the license terms, Siri, diagnostics, and approve verifying your device using iCloud. These are not options - they are required. You will also be asked to create a password. It can be four digits or more in length. This will protect you if the watch is removed from your wrist.

Step 6: Decide if you want your Apple Watch to be unlocked by your iPhone.
This question will be asked in a pop-up window on the Apple Watch. Basically, this means that while your watch is on your wrist and paired with your iPhone, you won't have to enter a passcode. Say "Yes" (you can change your mind later).

Step 7: Wait for the synchronization to complete.
Apple Watch will run through all your apps and download those that are supported by the watch (iPhone apps "contain" Apple Watch apps if they're optimized for the watch). An indicator in the form of a filling circle around the Apple logo shows the synchronization process. This may take 10 minutes or more, so put your iPhone nearby and plug it into the charger, just like your watch, and you can go and have some tea.

Step 8: Voila!

Step 9: If necessary, you can cancel pairing and try again.
If you ever unpair your watch from your iPhone, it will destroy your data and repeat as if it were a clean install. You'll then have to set up your Apple Watch again. The good news is that iPhone saves a local backup automatically, so you can restore everything from the database. This will save your settings, custom watch faces, and a few other things, but will remove your Apple Pay data for security purposes.
