Is there a way to downgrade from WatchOS 6?

Loaded WatchOS 6 and not able to pair with iPhone. Is there a way to downgrade from WatchOS 6?


Thanks

You can't downgrade watchOS 6 beta to watchOS 5. The only is by installing betas of watchOS 6 until the release. The only other option would be to try to arrange a Genius appointment to see if they will downgrade it, but this can take a while. You will need iOS 13 on your device to pair to watchOS 6.

It is not true. I have ios 13 on my iPhone and still can not pair apple watch with beta 6...

He didn;t say that IOS 13 gurantees your Watch will pair - only that you need IOS 13 for it to stand a chance

No. There never has been,sorry to say. It comes up every time there's a new WatchOSrelease and, although Apple warns against updating to betas on your only device, we're oftem tempted.


These release are meant for developers who need a Watch with OS 6. on it to test there apps. Those of us who just want to experiement need tp be really careful. Especially with early betas which are often very buggy.


I stopped doing early betas after OS 3 when I had all kinds of issues.


A Genius bar visit is your only. chance, I'm afraid

Hi from Belorussia. You need to set you phone into english language with USA region, than restart. Charge you watch until full and then do a factory reset: hold down both roll and a key for 10 sec. After welcome screen select “i”, then select english language and USA region. Type “start paring” than select “i”. On the screen you will see the unique number of your watch. On the iphone open watch app and select “start pairing”, than type manual and select you iwatch from the list. Wait for a code on you iwatch, than type it into phone. Set up as new. Best regards.

Did this work for you?

This works!!! Thank you!

Hello,this metod work if Iphone is on ios 12.3.1???Or only ios 13 beta?

Just tried it and it only works if you're on iOS 13 beta

When downgrading my Watch from 6 beta to 5 do I need to unpair the watch before following your procedure?


Thanks.

this work!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are the best !!!!! thanks my friend!!!!!! have a nice day .... good mornig from greece !!!!🙂

For me it doesnt work. It stucks on the iphone at "verifying apple watch software"...

Hi, i update my Iphone XS MAX to ios13 beta 6, and now cant pair may watch, its startint pair and then unpairing, what i can do it, please help

I have the same issue currently. I did a hard reset of the watch and still no luck. I think I will try to find an iphone running iOS 12 and use that to update the watch to beta 6 and maybe that will allow me to pair with my phone running beta 6. Apple says you can't pair a watch running anything earlier than beta 2 on iOS beta 6 :/


Anyone else with solutions?

I am having the same problem!! If you find out anything else could you please let me know. Thanks!!

My watch is like beta 2 or lower... I haven’t been good at updating it lately, or even at all lol. Is there a way to update a phone to an iOS 13 beta lower than beta 6?? I have an extra iPhone on hand and can update it do a beta lower than 6.. is so could you please lmk?? Thank you!

Same issue here, my Apple Watch (S3) stop working after the last iOS 13 beta release (iPhone X). Now I'm in the loop of Pairing and then suddenly the Unpairing screen appears.


I've been trying almost everything. Hard reset on my watch. Recovery on my iPhone X. Delete the Apple watch from the iCloud account, etc. I don't know what else to do.

Same problem... change the region is not working for me...

Yes, if you contact apple and tell them you're having issues they will send you a box to mail it back in and flash it back to the original watch version thats not beta. Keep in mind the first time i called them they said they couldnt do anything, the second time I called them back they escalated it and that person had the authority to have the watch repaired.

Apple will send you a box to send it back in and they'll put the watch OS5 back on it if you insist. I had to call twice but the second time they escalated it and it was approved to be fixed.

same here, any solutions :<

Contact Apple support either through phone call or chat. Personally, I preferred chat.
