If you’ve encountered the frustrating issue of your Apple Watch being stuck on the Apple logo, don’t worry, you’re not alone. This common problem can be solved with a few simple steps. Here’s a detailed guide on how to fix your Apple Watch when it gets stuck on the Apple logo.
Force Restart Your Apple Watch
One of the most effective ways to address the Apple Watch stuck on the Apple logo issue is by performing a force restart. To do this, press and hold both the side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously until the screen turns black and the Apple logo reappears. Once you see the Apple logo, release both buttons. Your watch may take a few moments to restart, so be patient.
Allow Your Apple Watch to Restart
After performing the force restart, give your Apple Watch some time to complete the restart process. Sometimes, the device needs a moment to reset and boot up properly. Avoid pressing any buttons or attempting to force restart the watch again, as this may interrupt the restarting process.
Update Your Apple Watch Software
Another common reason for the Apple Watch getting stuck on the Apple logo is outdated software. Make sure your Apple Watch is running the latest version of watchOS. You can check for software updates by going to the Watch app on your paired iPhone, selecting General, and then Software Update. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install it.
Reset Your Apple Watch
If the issue persists after trying a force restart and updating the software, you may need to consider resetting your Apple Watch. This can help resolve any underlying software glitches that may be causing the problem. To reset your Apple Watch, go to the Settings app, select General, then Reset, and choose Erase All Content and Settings. Keep in mind that this will erase all data on your watch, so make sure to back up any important information beforehand.
