I have an Apple Watch SE that is set up for a family member. I am trying to download the Messenger app on the Watch, But it says that it requires an iPhone, which I have. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app on my iPhone to start the auto download, but it still won’t let me download even when the watch
is connected to the iPhone. Please help.
