What Can You Do With an Apple Watch Without an iPhone?
Stay Connected with Wi-Fi Calling
It’s been a few years since the first smartwatches, connected watches that connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth technology, have been released. The most famous of these is certainly the Apple Watch, the reference device in this field. Do you own one? Then I recommend you continue reading this guide, because I will show you everything you can do with it and, above all, how you can make a call without necessarily having your iPhone nearby.
How to Make a Call With an Apple Watch Without an iPhone
When your phone is off or not present nearby, you can take advantage of Wi-Fi calls. To do this, it is important that your Apple Watch is within the range of a Wi-Fi network to which you have previously connected your iPhone. First of all, to enable this function, you must do this step from your phone:
- Unlock your iPhone;
- Go to Settings;
- Tap on Phone;
- Select Wi-Fi Calling;
- Now activate Wi-Fi Calling on this iPhone and Wi-Fi Calling for other devices.
In this way, you can make and receive calls with the Apple Watch associated with your iPhone. To call, proceed as follows:
- Unlock your Apple Watch;
- Tap on Phone;
- Choose the contact in the address book and select the symbol associated with the call;
- Click on the phone number or FaceTime address and you’re done!
What else can you do with an Apple Watch without an iPhone?
But that’s not all. In fact, in addition to making Wi-Fi calls, it is possible to perform many other functions without your iPhone at hand. In fact, with Apple Watch you can:
