Unpair Your Apple Watch and Your AirPods
If you have an iPhone, chances are you also have an Apple Watch and a pair of AirPods. But if you’re only getting rid of your iPhone, you might want to unpair your AirPods and Apple Watch so they aren’t linked to your older iPhone.
Here’s how to unpair your Apple Watch:
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap on All Watches in the top left corner of your screen.
- Tap the i icon right next to your Apple Watch’s name.
- Select Unpair Apple Watch.
To unpair your AirPods, you have to do the following:
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to Bluetooth.
- Tap on the i icon next to your AirPods’ name.
- Tap on Forget This Device.
Unpairing your Apple Watch also automatically creates a backup of the data on your Apple Watch, which can be automatically restored as soon as you pair it to your new iPhone.
