Apple Watch Not Showing Location on New iPhone

Hello,

I recently purchased a new phone, but I’m still using the same Apple Watch. I would like my Apple Watch to appear in the Find My app so I can locate it if needed.


Currently, when I check my Apple Watch in the Watch app on my phone, I see the device listed, but it says “No location available.” Additionally, when I open the iCloud Find My app, the Apple Watch does not appear at all.


How can I enable location tracking for my Apple Watch and make sure it shows up properly in the Find My app?


Thank you!




iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

Did you pair your watch to the new iPhone as explained in this related article?

If so, the watch should automatically show up in Find My.


Did you also make sure that on your iPhone in Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services/ all Apple Watch features are enabled?
