  • I can't add applications to the watch. Does not appear in the Apple Watch app either.

    I tried to add apps to my watch, but they may not appear. They have downloaded successfully on my iPhone but do not appear in my Apple Watch app or on my Apple Watch. I tried to restart my iPhone and my watch and not matched and combined but still no luck. Any advice?

    Hello

    If you have not already done so, it may help to update your iPhone and Apple Watch for the latest versions of software (currently iOS 9.1 and watch OS 2.0.1 respectively). Otherwise it will be impossible to install native applications (which are supported under watch OS 2 and later versions) on your watch.

    To update your watch to a version of software before watch OS 2, your iPhone must be running iOS 9 or later - in order to check that your iPhone software has been updated before the update of your watch.

    The software update instructions are available here:

    Turns on automatic unlocking. On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click general. Check the box "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac".

  • I was able to receive and send text messages (NOT iMessage) from my Apple Watch, even if I had left my phone at work, 10 miles away.  How is that possible?

    My phone does not connect to a WiFi to work because it's a restricted network.  I have a macbook and an ipad at home, but the iPad died (battery) and my macbook had power, but had fallen asleep.  I don't understand.  Think my phone has to be in my bag if I was getting texts, but he found in my office this morning.  Is my watch somehow 'work' through my macbook ASLEEP?

    Hello

    Subject to your carrier supporting the appeal of Wi - Fi and function has been activated on your iPhone, Wi - Fi calling can be used to make and receive phone calls as well as - when supported by the carrier - for text messaging / SMS over Wi - Fi.

    When the Wi - Fi is enabled on your iPhone, the service is also available via Apple Watch, even when it is connected to a known Wi - Fi network and the pair iPhone is not available.

    In the United States, for example, both AT & T and T-Mobile currently support send and receive SMS via Wi - Fi calling.
