Apple Watch OS9 family setup

Hi guys!


I have an Apple Watch Series 7 but don’t have a phone. So I used my friend’s phone for setup for family members….


But I just found out in the NEW Compass app’s backtrack & Waypoint are missing…

And how about other apps? The blood O^2 for example (Also missing).

One last question; the other apps like Google Maps requires iPhone to download and certainly I can’t. Is there a way?

Please help me out?.. Thanks

I'm sorry but that is the price you pay for not pairing the watch with a phone of your own,there are no solutions,that is how family setup works.
