Apple Watch Series 7 incoming call issue

Apple Watch Q&A
1

Hi Robin,

When I receive calls on my iPhone with DUAL SIM a little badge (in my case “P” for private and “B” for business) is shown that tells me which cellular line is called. Until WatchOS 9 this badge was shown on the Apple Watch as well… Since my upgrade on WatchOS 9 (and even with my upgrade to the Series 8) this badge is not shown.

The Apple Watch Guide says the following:

How Apple Watch receives calls when using multiple cellular plans

  • When Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone: You can receive calls from both lines. Your watch shows a badge that tells you which cellular line you received a notification from—H for Home, and W for Work, for example. If you respond to a call, your watch automatically responds from the line that received the call.

I already reset my Apple Watch and set it up as a new watch. I resetted my phone settings as well but nothing changed

Both my iphone and watch series running on lates OS

hello bro, this could be due to some bug with latest WatchOS version. as you have already tried the basic troubleshooting steps, give some time. expecting a watchos update next week. we will see the fix along with few other minor bugs.

Looks like this bug is not addressed in latest update. How come Apple not noticing such big bugs

Robin bro : is it only for me or you also facing the same issue in your watch ?

Yes bro. looks like they are treating both SIM calls as one with recent updates. I will submit a feedback with this information from my developer beta installed phone. Hoping we will see a change in future watchOS update.

Thanks bro . It’s really difficult to pick-up your phone to see to which sim the call is coming when you drive or away from phone .
