Hey there Ali-qui,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. Yes, you can manage which contacts you share with an Apple Watch that you set up for a family member. Check out the steps below on how to do that:


Now you're asked to set up the contacts that will be available on the Apple Watch. To allow this, you need to have Contacts in iCloud enabled. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud on your iPhone and make sure that Contacts is turned on.*

Then you can choose trusted people from your own Contacts app to share on the Apple Watch. You can manage these shared contacts later, and set up restrictions, in Screen Time on your iPhone.

Finally, set a Screen Time passcode for the watch, and turn on Schooltime. When you're finished, tap OK to begin using the Apple Watch.


We can see that you've had a chance to look at the 'Related Article' Set up Apple Watch for a family member, and these steps can be found in that resource under the "Set up shared contacts and Schooltime" section.


We hope that's able to help.


Take care!
