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 down, tap Notify [your friend’s name], then choose to notify your friend when you leave your location.

Care to share?

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.
