Apple Watch

Can I let my kids switch up using my Apple Watch from day to day? I have cellular on it and it doesn’t need my phone near it. They do not have phone carriers. They do have Apple ID’s.

I would like a way to text them them when they are at practices or staying after school.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

Your watch uses your phone number.

If you lend your watch to your child for the day, they will get your phone calls and texts.


What you want is called Family set up and it invoices them having their own Cellular + GPS watch (Series 4 or later or the SE)
