Click All Devices, then click your Apple Watch. Sign in with your Apple ID, and open Find iPhone. You can also use the Find My Watch function on your computer. Your Watch will continue to ping until you tap Dismiss on your phone or the now-recovered Watch. The sound isn’t super loud, so if you’re looking in your home, be as quiet as possible and listen carefully for the ping. If you think your Watch is nearby you can tap Play Sound to help you find it.
That said, during another trial, the Find My Watch app said my Watch was 25 feet away, when it was actually on my wrist only inches from my iPhone.

I could, for example, see whether my Apple Watch Series 7 was in my office, toward the front of my house, or the kitchen, which is toward the back. This will allow you to see the Watch’s approximate location using GPS and either WiFi or a cellular connection. Then tap the lower-case i next to the watch.To find your Watch using Find My Watch, go to the Watch App on your iPhone, scroll to the All Watches tab, and tap on the round Info icon on the right. If you decide you want to unpair the Watch in future, open the Watch app on your iPhone and (making sure you’re in the lefthand tab, My Watch) tap the Apple Watch you want to unpair at the top. Acknowledge this warning, and the app will tell you that the setup process is complete. The iPhone will ‘warn’ you, as per Apple’s custom, that a new device is using your Apple ID. Here are some lists of apps you might like to try:īest Apple Watch games. You can also decide whether it should show up in your glances. Then you can go into the Watch app on the iPhone, scroll down to the app you’ve just installed, and choose ‘Show on Apple Watch’.

In future, if there are any apps you want to use on the Apple Watch you’ll need to install them on the iPhone first (when browsing the App Store, check the descriptions to see if they have a corresponding version for the watch).

How to install apps that aren’t on your iPhone We found that we had to open the Watch app on the iPhone, scroll down to the individual app we wanted on the watch, tap on it and then select ‘Show on Apple Watch’, so keep that in mind if you can’t find your favourite apps post-setup. We did select the option to install all the relevant apps – and waited a few minutes for it to sync – but oddly enough the apps weren’t ready and waiting for us at the end of the process.
(We say all the apps: in fact it’s only the apps on your iPhone that have Apple Watch-compatible versions.) If you agree to this, expect to wait a little while this is all wirelessly synced. The last option you get is whether or not to install all the apps that are on your iPhone on your Apple Watch. What this means is that, if both your Apple Watch and your iPhone are locked and you unlock the iPhone, the Apple Watch – provided it’s on your wrist – will unlock too automatically. Making the unlocking process even less of a hassle, your next choice is whether to have the watch unlock when you unlock your iPhone (which can itself be achieved via a single tap of Touch ID or a glance at Face ID, remember). Generally speaking, you will unlock your Apple Watch just once each day.
You unlock it the first time you use it after putting it on, and then as long as it remains on your wrist it’s still unlocked. Bear in mind, if a passcode sounds like a faff, that you don’t need to unlock the Apple Watch every time you use it.
