Apple Watch Notification when iPhone out of range

Is anybody aware of any APP or a way for the Apple Watch to notify me when the iPhone is out of range?


The LOOKOUT app doesn't offer this feature anymore.


Thanks.

Hi Luca


If Apple Watch becomes disconnected from the paired iPhone, then it will show a disconnected icon on the watch face:


The status icons


Apple Watch does not otherwise offer any audible, haptic or visual alerts when taken out of range of the paired iPhone.

Thanks Jonathan. Yes. I was aware of that but the point is that people often forget their device around (home, office, car) and wearing a smartwatch they - me, included - would expect to receive a notification that would prevent wast of time/money or even potential theft.


Thanks for your reply, though.
