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."
