Watch
- Create a Things Cloud account on your iPhone first.

The initial sync from watch to iPhone might take a few minutes, depending on the size of your database. Keep both devices in close proximity and don’t exit the watch app until it’s done. If you run into any trouble, check out these steps here.

In Things for Vision, please follow the same steps as described in the iPad & iPhone tab above.
