the Watch has many ways to help you stay in touch with people

-

Certain models of Apple Watch (those with a mobile data plan) can accept phone calls. if you get a call on your Watch but want to take it on your iPhone, accept the call on your wrist, then swipe up to swap it over to your phone. on the other hand, if you receive a call on your Watch but don’t want to talk to your wrist, scroll the Digital Crown to bring up some options. For example, you can send a quick reply to the caller saying you can’t pick up, or pass it over to your iPhone.

FIND YOUR FRIENDS

having a mobile data plan for your Watch has other benefits. For example, there are going to be times when you want to meet up with friends, but they can’t find you. instead of trying to send detailed texts from your wrist, there’s a much better way. on your Watch, open the messages app, and select a message thread. Now, press firmly on the screen, and you’ll get an option to send your location to everyone in that conversati­on.
