Add and edit contacts

Adding new contacts does not appear to be a revolutionary feature and in theory it isn’t, but when you can do it on your Apple Watch, it suddenly becomes extremely useful. When you are out and about without your phone this makes for a brilliant option. It could help you to spark up a new friendship or work relationship.

1A new option

Open the Contacts app and scroll up to reveal a new blue panel with ‘+New Contact’ in it. Tap to begin the process of adding a brand new contact.

4There are limits

Adding information on the Apple Watch is not the quickest method, so concentrate on a couple of bits of data. You can get the rest later through a contact number.

2Choose your method

You can now choose your preferred method to enter the first name, and this will be repeated for the surname. It takes a little time to complete the process.

5The contact card

A standard contact card will now be set up and it will be synchronised with your iPhone. You can then add an image and other personal data through the phone.

3 Add a number

Fortunately, a number panel pops up when you need to enter a phone number, which does speed things up. Add as much information as possible.

6 A quick share

Once the new contact has been added to the Apple Watch, you have the option of immediately sharing it with others. It really is an extremely useful addition.
