This results in the Apple Watch call being failed. You can, however, fix this by unlocking your Watch with the help of your iPhone, as recommended by many users.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article provides a summary of various factors that can cause failed calls on an iPhone, as well as instructions on how to fix these issues. If you are still experiencing failed calls after following these instructions, resetting your network settings may be your last resort.<br>\n&#8211;<br>\nTo do this, go to Settings &gt; General &gt; Reset &gt; Reset Network Settings. This will reset your Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings and VPN configurations. After this is done, try making a call from the Apple Watch again. Updating your iOS software can also help with solving iPhone call issues including failed error messages. You can find the most recent version for your iPhone model by going to Settings &gt; General &gt; Software Update. Apple Watch has been proven to solve many issues with iPhone calls, but not all of them, so it&#8217;s important to make sure you have the most current version of iOS installed on your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re facing unknown network issues and experiencing a &#8216;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-in\/HT204027\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-in\/HT204027\" target=\"_blank\">call failed<\/a>&#8216; error, resetting your iPhone&#8217;s network settings may help solve the problem. To reset your network settings, open Settings, tap General, then Reset, and select Reset Network Settings. Following the above solutions should solve any problems you are having with failed calls on your Apple Watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Step<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Step 1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Check your cellular connection on your iPhone by opening the Control Center and looking for the cellular signal strength indicator.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Step 2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">If the cellular connection is weak, try moving to an area with better reception.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Step 3<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">If you&#8217;re in an area with good reception and still experiencing the issue, restart your Apple Watch by holding down the side button until the &#8220;Power Off&#8221; slider appears, then swipe it to the right.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Step 4<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Once your Apple Watch has turned off, hold down the side button again until the Apple logo appears and the device turns back on.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Apple Watch Call Failed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have tried all the previous fixes and nothing has worked, a factory reset of your iPhone may be your last hope. To do this, erase and reset all content and settings on your iPhone. You may also need to re-enter any Wi-Fi or Fi passwords. After a factory reset of your iPhone, you should be able to start making phone calls again without any trouble. If you are still having issues making phone calls after resetting your network settings, a factory reset might be the last resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/do-you-need-cellular-on-apple-watch\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"73072\">Do You Need Cellular On Apple Watch<\/a><strong><em>, take a look at my other article<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/watch\/use-apple-watch-without-its-paired-iphone-apd0443fb403\/watchos\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/watch\/use-apple-watch-without-its-paired-iphone-apd0443fb403\/watchos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch <\/a>can be paired with an iPhone, but it will not work as a stand-alone device. If you get a &#8220;Call Failed&#8221; error when trying to dial a number on your Apple Watch, the most likely cause is a Bluetooth connection issue. To fix this error, check that your iPhone and watch are connected via Bluetooth and that you&#8217;re in range. If the problem persists, try restarting your watch and then try to make the call again. You can also delete any contacts from your watch if they are no longer relevant, which may help fix the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many Apple Watch and iOS updates, many Apple Watch owners are facing a big issue with their watch: it is not able to make or answer calls. This issue has appeared time and time again with different watch models, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. It\u2019s possible that the issue may be related to a bug in the operating system. Fortunately, there are ways to fix this call-related issue. If you\u2019re experiencing this problem, the first thing you should do is try resetting your iPhone and Apple Watch connection by turning off Bluetooth on both devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then restart your phone and try to pair the watch again. If that doesn\u2019t work, you may need to look for other ways of fixing the call failed message. One of the most common ways is to isolate the issue and see if it lies with your iPhone or Apple Watch. You can do this by placing a call from your device and then trying again from your watch. If it works with one device but not the other, you\u2019ll know where the problem lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re trying to place a call on your Apple Watch but it keeps saying \u2018Call Failed\u2019, the problem is likely with your cellular provider. When you bring up the calling screen on your watch, it looks just like the one on your iPhone \u2013 but sometimes, making a call on your watch doesn\u2019t work. This could be because of issues with your cellular network or because of an insufficient amount of cellular data. If you tap the call button and see \u2018Call Failed\u2019, try tapping on the watch itself \u2013 this can sometimes reset the connection and allow you to make a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that doesn\u2019t work, try updating the software on your Apple Watch and iPhone. To do this, open your iPhone Settings App, select General &gt; Software Update and install the update. If that doesn\u2019t solve the issue, reset your iPhone. To do this go to Settings &gt; General &gt; Reset and select \u2018Erase All Content and Settings\u2019. This will delete all data from your phone but it should help with any connection issues. Once you have reset your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app on your phone and tap \u2018My Watch\u2019 at the bottom of your screen. Then tap \u2018Add Phone\u2019 and add your watch to it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are still getting the same error then check your blocked contacts list from the settings app. To do this, open the Settings app and tap \u2018Phone\u2019. At the bottom of the page, select \u2018Blocked Contacts\u2019 to view a list of any blocked contacts. If you see someone in that list that you don&#8217;t want to be blocked, tap on their name and then select \u2018Unblock Person\u2019 on the details page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Apple Watch Call Failed then you should try to disable optimized battery charging, disable allow calls, disable outgoing anonymity status and also try toggling its switch on\/off. To make sure that Wi-Fi calling is enabled on your iPhone, go to settings and make sure it is enabled. You may also need to sign in with your Apple ID in order to make other devices like an iPad receive calls from the same phone number. If these steps don&#8217;t solve your problem, you may need to enable the device again or even reset it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fix Call Failed Issues on Apple Watch | Apple Watch Dropping Calls Problem Solved\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qlVn2qD-8jw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Find out how to fix all Apple Watch Call Failed issues<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/whentomeet-poll\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"73078\">Whentomeet Poll<\/a><strong><em>, take a look at my other article<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>You can try resetting the device if you&#8217;re facing call failures, including call dropping and dropping call failure.
