If I were to leave my phone at home but bring my Apple Watch series three cellular wherever I go, would my watch be tracked if someone tried to find my location?

I have the Apple Watch series 3 GPS + cellular and want to know if someone tracks my iPhone, if my Apple Watch location will show up if I’m using it instead?

Hi, sidneyfromportland.


I see that you're wondering if someone following you through the Find My Friends application can track your Apple Watch Series 3 instead of your iPhone. I'm happy to help.

Use Find My Friends on more than one device

You can sign in to Find My Friends and use it from any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch you own. However, only one iOS device can transmit your location to your followers. You can choose which one to use in Find My Friends:

  • On an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Me, then tap a device under Share My Location From.
  • On an iPad, tap List > Me > Info, then tap a device under Share My Location From.

This choice only appears when you're currently signed in to Find My Friends on multiple devices.
