Using Find My app with apple watch

If you have an Apple Watch linked to your iPhone and are sharing your iPhone location on the Find My app - will the watch automatically be available if location is turned off on your iPhone? Or do you need to share location specifically for the watch?

Hi Lilbitalexis,


We understand you have a question regarding using the Find My feature with your Apple Watch. If your Apple Watch is paired with your iPhone, it's automatically set up when you turn on Find My iPhone. If you have the cellular Apple Watch, you will be able to locate the Apple Watch when the paired iPhone is turned off.


Set up Find My on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac


Have a good day.
