Under the "Find My" app on my I phone XR there isn't the option to "Notify When Left Behind" for my Apple Watch Series 7. It shows "Notifications" but nothing under it. I'd appreciate any help.

Apple Watch Hi Everyone! I do apologize if this question has already been asked and answered, however I cannot seem to find the answer. For the iPhone, we are able to utilize the ‘Find My’ app to locate your apple devices or other people’s shared locations. For the Apple Watch, you can only ping your iPhone through the shortcut menu. In a situation where pinging your iPhone does not help because you are at a large event where you cannot hear, etc. My question is, why does the Apple Watch not have the ‘Find My’ app like the iPhone? The Apple Watch has the ‘Find People’ app however they are different in ways. The ‘Find My’ app on the Apple Watch would be useful for consumers and Apple users.

Find My app on iPhone doesn't show Apple Watch even though I'm wearing it The Find My apps on my iPhone 7 and iPad 9 don't show my Apple Watch (series 6, not cellular) even though I'm wearing the watch. Somehow the watch stopped communicating its location to my other Apple devices. The Watch app on my phone looks fine. All devices including the watch are connected to the same WiFi network. Any thoughts?

It does support the watch but it hasn't been activated yet.
