You can now set up an Apple Watch to work like an iPhone for a person in your family who does not have an iPhone. The feature works on Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 and later editions. This update is aimed at bringing the communication, health, fitness, and safety features of the Apple Watch to kids and other family members who do not yet have an iPhone.
Apple Watch can be set up through a parent’s iPhone, so kids can connect with family and friends through phone calls, messages, and share custom Memoji. Parents will be able to approve all contacts, so kids can safely use the communication features of the Apple Watch.
With this feature, kids can use Apple Watch features like Emergency SOS, Maps, Siri, Alarms, and the App Store. And parents can reach their child and identify their location, and ensure all personal data stays securely encrypted.
With watchOS 10, the whole family can also take advantage of optimised features that enhance the overall Apple Watch experience.
