Apple Watch Setup
I just set up an Apple Watch for my son. I went to add apps from my phone to his watch and no apps (besides standard Apple apps) show in the Watch App for me to add to his phone.

The Family Setup feature allows your family member who doesn't have their own iPhone to use their Apple Watch to do basic things like make phone calls, send messages, and share their location with you.
"Note that some Apple Watch features depend on having a companion iPhone, and aren't available on an Apple Watch that you pair using Family Setup."
And see the 'Availability of features and apps' section in:

Thanks, I read that part during set up that certain apps wouldnt work like sleep, etc but didn’t realize all other apps would not be accessible through the watch app. So just to confirm, the apps I download on my phone can’t be made available to him?
I don't know for sure. I suspect it might depend on the app. It could get confusing if an app was controlled by multiple watches when it wasn't meant to work that way. If you want a definitive answer, I suggest you use the 'Get Support' link at the top-right corner of this page.
Will do! Thanks again for the help on this one.
