Next, choose from the list of languages that<em> Siri<\/em> understands.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Troubleshooting_Siri\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Troubleshooting Siri<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If the\u00a0<em>Hey Siri\u00a0<\/em>function is not working properly, for instance if <em>Siri<\/em> responds,\u00a0<em>Sorry, I\u2019m having trouble connecting to the network<\/em>, or <em>Try again in a little while<\/em>,\u00a0or if <em>Siri<\/em> isn\u2019t available, doesn\u2019t understand you, or doesn\u2019t respond to questions, you can try these steps.

To do this, tap\u00a0<em>Settings &gt; Siri<\/em>. Your Apple Watch mirrors your iPhone, so you don\u2019t need to check your watch.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">On your Apple Watch, see if\u00a0<em>Hey Siri\u00a0<\/em>is turned on. Tap\u00a0<em>Settings &gt; General &gt; Siri<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Restart your Apple Watch.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">On your iPhone, go to\u00a0<em>Settings &gt; Siri<\/em>\u00a0and turn off <em>Siri<\/em>, then turn it on again.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">See if the microphone on your Apple Watch is blocked. For example, if your watch has a protective case, remove it and see if the problem has been solved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Checking_the_Internet_Connection_on_Your_Apple_Watch\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Checking the Internet Connection on Your Apple Watch<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To enjoy every feature on your Apple Watch, you need to turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your paired iPhone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, swipe up on your iPhone to open\u00a0the <em>Control Center<\/em>. Then make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Your Apple Watch uses both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to communicate with your paired iPhone, switching between connections as needed:<\/p>\n<p>Your Apple Watch uses Bluetooth when your paired iPhone is near. In this case, the device\u2019s battery conserves power. If Bluetooth isn\u2019t available, your Apple Watch will try to use Wi-Fi, if a compatible Wi-Fi is available and your iPhone isn\u2019t in Bluetooth range.<\/p>\n<p>Your Apple Watch is compatible with Wi-Fi and can connect to a Wi-Fi network if these conditions exist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If your iPhone, while connected to your paired Apple Watch with\u00a0Bluetooth, has connected to the network before.<\/li>\n<li>If the Wi-Fi network is 802.11b\/g\/n 2.4GHz. (That means that, for\u00a0example, your Apple Watch will not connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi or public networks that require logins, subscriptions, or profiles). Note that when your Apple Watch connects to a compatible Wi-Fi network instead of your iPhone connection,\u00a0a green cloud\u00a0icon appears in the\u00a0<em>Control Center<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How to check the connection between your Apple Watch and iPhone:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In fact, there are two ways to check the connection between your Apple Watch and iPhone. If you see a red\u00a0<em>Disconnected<\/em>\u00a0icon on the watch face, you don\u2019t have a connection. You should swipe up on the watch face to open the\u00a0<em>Control Center<\/em>, which shows if your devices are connected. You can also tap the iPhone icon. If connected, your iPhone should make a \u201cping\u201d sound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To restart your Apple Watch:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Press and hold the side button until you see the\u00a0<em>Power Off\u00a0<\/em>slider.<\/li>\n<li>Drag the slider to turn off your device.<\/li>\n<li>After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the <em>Apple<\/em> logo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Links\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>Links<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The perfect way to recycle your old Apple Watch.\u00a0Sell it for the highest price online to iGotOffer.
