Family Setup

With Family Setup, you can use your iPhone to pair watches for your children or older adults who don’t have their own iPhone. So everyone can stay in touch by phone or text message.*

Kids can call, text, ask Siri questions, listen to music, download and use apps, and get their allowance through Apple Cash Family.

Everyone can share their location for you to see with the Find People app. Be alerted when older family members and kids get home, or aren’t where they’re expected to be.

Using the Memoji app, family members can customize a Memoji to be as fun as they want and share it as a sticker in Messages or make it their watch face.

Family Setup is only available with GPS + Cellular models for Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 or later.

* Not all features will be available if the Apple Watch is set up through Family Setup. Wireless service plan required for cellular service. Contact your service provider for more details. Check apple.com/watch/cellular (opens in a new window) for participating wireless carriers and eligibility.
