Adding Contacts from Apple Watch SE

I setup 2 Apple Watch SE's for my kids through family setup from my iPhone. One of the watches allows us to add new contacts on the watch by clicking the "+ new contacts" button within the contacts app on the watch itself. The other watch doesn't have the "+ new contacts" button within the contacts app.


How do I get the "+ new contacts" button to display within the contacts app on the watch?

Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities, Festival77!


From our understanding, you’re unable to add contacts to one of your children’s watch. We can certainly understand your concern and can help provide some insight.


It sounds like there may be restrictions set up on that watch. You can learn more here: Set up a family member’s Apple Watch - Apple Support


Kindest regards!
