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. For 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. You can also join a Group FaceTime audio call.

Share your live location
Meeting a friend? Apple Watch can let them know where you are and update your location automatically. Open the Messages app , start a new message or open a conversation, tap
, tap Location, then start sharing your location.

Communicate across languages
You can automatically translate texts in Messages. Just open a conversation and send a message in a preferred language.
