How to message your favorites

Hi

Under watchOS 3, to send a new message using Messages from your Apple Watch:

Use Siri: for example "Hey Siri, tell Jane I’ll be there in 30 minutes" and then lower your wrist to send (no button tap / press is required).

Open Messages > firmly press the list of conversations > tap New Message > tap Add Contact, then either:

• Tap a contact in the list of recent conversations that appears;
• Or tap "+" to choose from your full contacts list;
• Or tap the Microphone button to search for someone in your contacts or to dictate a phone number.

If you preferred using Friends (which provided fast access to selected contacts in prior versions of watchOS) and would like Apple to restore it to watchOS 3, you can submit a feature request here:
