My watch face won't install or activate — what do I do?

Sending a character to your watch has a few moving parts — your phone builds a real watch face and streams it over, then your watch installs and activates it. Here's where that can stall, and what fixes each one.

"Send to Watch" isn't showing up

The button only appears once the app finds a paired, reachable Wear OS watch with the Multiverse companion installed. Make sure your watch is nearby, unlocked, and paired in the Wear OS app, then reopen the character's screen.

It's stuck mid-transfer

Keep your phone and watch close together with Bluetooth on until the on-screen progress finishes — moving out of range partway through interrupts the transfer. If it stalls, just try again from the character's screen.

It installed but isn't your active face

Look at your watch — the first time you send a face, it asks you to tap Allow to grant the permission that lets Multiverse set it as active automatically. Without that tap, the face installs but doesn't take over your watch face on its own.
