Add apps on Apple Watch family plan

Hi LeisaMac,

Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.

It sounds like you are trying to add apps to your family members Apple Watch.

If the family member does not have their own iPhone, apps can be added to their Apple Watch in two ways. This can be done directly on the Apple Watch using the App Store app. You also can use the iPhone that was used to set up the Apple Watch.

If using the iPhone, open the Watch app. In the top left corner, tap on All Watches, then choose your family members watch. Scroll down further and you will be able to choose to install any apps that are also installed on your iPhone and offer an Apple Watch app.

Hi LeisaMac,

Thanks for following up.

In your scenario, her Apple Watches companion device would be your iPhone, since your iPhone was used to set up the Apple Watch.

On your iPhone, head to the Watch app. In the top left corner, tap on All Watches, then choose your daughters watch. Scrolling down to the bottom of the page will present you with what installed applications you can install on her Watch. Alternatively, have you also tried searching the App Store on the Apple Watch for this app?

Ensure the Apple Watch is caught up on any software updates, as this can impact what apps the Watch is eligible for.
