Hello and welcome to the community 🤗


No if you look here Write and reply to mail on Apple Watch - Apple Support (CA) is just in Apple Watch Series 7 and 8. Sorry 😕


But you can use…


  • Scribble: Use your finger to write your message. To edit your message, turn the Digital Crown to move the cursor into position, then make your edit.


To use predictive text, tap a finished or unfinished word to highlight it, then turn the Digital Crown to see suggested words. Stop turning the Digital Crown to enter the highlighted suggestion.


Scribble is not available in all languages.


  • Dictate text: Tap , say what you want to say, then tap Done. You can speak punctuation, too—for example, “did it arrive question mark.”
  • To return to using Scribble, turn the Digital Crown or tap .


  • Include emoji: Tap , tap a frequently used emoji or a category at the bottom of the screen, then scroll to browse available images. When you find the right symbol, tap it to add it to your message.


  • Enter text with your iPhone: When you start composing a message and your paired iPhone is nearby, a notification appears on the iPhone, offering to let you enter text using the iOS keyboard. Tap the notification, then type the text on your iPhone.
