Stay connected with Apple Watch
Apple Watch makes it easy to communicate with friends, family, and coworkers, even when your iPhone isn’t with you.

Send a message, right from your wrist
Quickly respond to a message with Siri. When Apple Watch is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular, just raise your wrist and say, “Tell Julie I’ll be there in five minutes.” Or touch and hold the message to give your friend a thumbs up with a Tapback reply.

Make a call
Use Siri to help you make a quick call. With an Apple Watch with a cellular or Wi-Fi connection, raise your wrist and say “Call Mom.” If you have a Wi-Fi connection, a simple “FaceTime Mom” does the trick.

Announce your departure
Meeting a friend? Apple Watch can let them know you’re on your way. Open the Find People app and tap your friend. Scroll up, tap Notify [your friend’s name], then choose to notify your friend when you leave your location.

Care to share?
In watchOS 8 you can share any photo on your Apple Watch—a favorite photo you’ve synced from iPhone or one of several images from a Memory. Just select a photo, tap , then share via Messages or Mail.
