SOS Fall Detection feature on the Apple Watch Series 4

Will the SOS Fall Detection feature on the Apple Watch Series 4 work with an iPhone 7 Plus or iPhone 8 Plus? I cannot find anywhere that shows which phones and OS each feature will be compatible with.

Fall Detection is an Apple Watch Series 4 feature- it doesn't matter what iPhone model it's paired to. When you fall, and the Apple Watch detects it, it'll call emergency services from the Watch itself (if you have a cellular model) or place the call from it's paired iPhone if it's nearby.
