WHAT IS THE I ICON ON THE APPLE WATCH ? [2021]

If you are an Apple Watch user, then you might have seen the I icon on the Apple watch. It sometimes shows up on the watch, inside the Watch app, and if you have been looking at Apple’s support pages, you might have seen it mentioned there as well. 

 So, we will tell you where you can find the “i” icon, what it does, and when you can use it. You all can use the i icon to get all the information of the apple watch. If you tap on the watch’s name in the app, then there you will see the I icon.

 Tapping on the icon will basically gives you more information about the Apple Watch along with the access to certain extra functions including like ‘find my apple watch’ and also the option to unpair your Apple Watch. 

 The I in lowercase inside a circle is not unique to Apple Watch it is just a common symbol indicating a place to get more information across different softwares. 

 If you tap on the icon, you can find the information about your watch in a unique way to identify it and will also get a number that will help you to pair it manually. The I icon appears on all the versions of the Apple Watch hardware and watch OS software. 

 You will also see the I icon on the Apple Watch pairing process. There will also be a Start pairing button on the watch to guide you through an automatic process and over there also you will see the circled I on the screen, which can help you with a manual pairing process if the automatic way is not working with you. 

 You will also see this information icon on the screen displaying the scannable circle code. Since, the screen of the Apple Watch is smaller than that of the iPhone, so the Apple has decided to allocate icons and symbols to denote the features and functions of the Watch instead of text which would take more space. 

Unless a user knows about the icons on Apple Watch, then he/she would not be able to utilise the true potential of the Watch. 

WHAT YOU CAN DO IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE i ICON ON YOUR SCREEN:-

If you are not able to see the I icon on Apple Watch there is no need to get stressed or hyper it just simply means that the iPhone is paired with the Apple watch and in this case, so there is no need for the icon to get displayed on the screen. 

 But, if the device is not paired with your apple watch, then you just have to do a simple restart of the Apple Watch and it will fix the issue. According to Apple’s support document, this problem has become a very common issue which the people face. 

 In order to find the I icon on your Apple Watch, you will first have to unpair your Apple Watch either from the iPhone or directly from the watch itself. 

 Although, this issue does not pop-up too often, but when it does, it’s helpful to know what it means and how you can solve it? Anyways, I have tried by best to include each and every scenario that you might face with the watch, but still if you are facing any issue, let me know in the comment section and we will definitely try our best and will help you. 

HOW TO PAIR YOUR APPLE WATCH MANUALLY:-

The next place you will notice the I icon in your apple watch will be while doing the first pairing of your watch with a new iPhone. You have to tap on the icon which allows you to manually set-up your watch with your iPhone. 

 After this it will display a name for your Apple Watch, which will also be displayed on your iPhone. Tap on the given name and enter the six digit code that shows up on your watch. Next you can continue to do the setting of your watch with your Apple ID or restore a backup of the data if you have. 

 Then start the re-pairing process of your Apple Watch which is very easy and only takes a few moments to get completed. Follow each and every instructions given on the screen, including selecting your language, unless you reach to the Start Pairing button.
