TL;DR
  • Several Google Pixel Watch owners say the Find My Phone/ring feature stopped working after a recent software update.
  • Users discovered a temporary workaround: asking Gemini directly on the watch to find the phone still appears to work for many people.
  • Google has acknowledged the issue on Reddit and says a fix is currently in development for a future update.

One of my favorite Pixel Watch features is the ability to make my phone ring when it disappears under a blanket or into the couch. It’s a tool you don’t think about much until it suddenly stops working — and apparently, that’s exactly what’s happening to a growing number of Pixel Watch owners.

A recent Reddit post from Silent_Polak reported that the Find My Phone/ring feature on their Pixel Watch stopped working after a software update. According to the owner, they’ve been using the Google Pixel Watch 3 for nearly a year without any trouble, and the issue only appeared after installing the latest update.
