My granddaughter has an iPhone 7. Instructions indicate she will need an 8 or higher. Is there a way I can set it up on my 13 then transfer to her 7+?
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15
If the Watch is running on watchOS 9, it requires an iPhone running iOS 16 to pair. There is no way around that requirement.
An iPhone 7 cannot be updated to iOS 16.

My granddaughter has an iPhone 7, I have a 13. Is there a way to set up using my phone with her Apple ID then transfer to her phone? I appears an upgrade will be necessary for her to use her watch.
