Can’t Track Daughters Apple Watch - verizon My daughter has her own cellular line via verizon. She had a gizmo watch and then switched to an Apple Watch. She does not have a cell phone. When I set up her watch I was told to do it on my phone via the “watch” app and it is on “Family Watches”. However, I am unable to track her watch via “find my phone” app. The location services are turned on her watch and show they are active via the watch application. Do I need to unlink the watch from my phone and have her set it up via an old unused cellphone that she logs into with her Apple ID?

Default to Apple Watch location activated under Family Setup within "Find My" app My son's iPad is the default device that is tracked in the "People" section of the "Find My" app. I recently got my son an Apple Watch, and set it up using Family Setup. I am unable to get Find My to track his watch by default in "People". I can find both his iPad and watch in "Devices", but it's more useful that his location in "People" is represented by his Apple Watch, which he wears, instead of his iPad, which stays home all day. I've tried changing settings in his iPad, on the phone that was used to setup the Apple Watch under Family Setup. and on the watch itself. There is no option that I can find to switch the default tracking from the iPad to his watch. Does anybody have a solution?
