A Few Handy Tips

Here are some additional tips to help you make the most out of making calls on your Apple Watch:

• Use Siri: Instead of manually opening the Phone app and searching for a contact, you can simply raise your wrist and say "Hey Siri, call [contact name]." Siri will initiate the call for you.
• Enable Wi-Fi Calling: If you have a compatible iPhone and carrier plan, you can enable Wi-Fi Calling on your iPhone settings. This allows you to make calls even when your iPhone is out of range, as long as your Apple Watch is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
• Pair with Bluetooth Headset: For a more private and enhanced audio experience, you can pair your Apple Watch with a Bluetooth headset. This allows you to place and receive calls without holding your wrist up to your ear.
• Adjust Call Settings: To customize your calling experience, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and go to My Watch > Phone. From there, you can enable features such as Call Forwarding and TTY, as well as adjust the audio routing settings for calls.

With the ability to make calls directly from your wrist, Apple Watch brings convenience and flexibility to your communication needs. Whether you're on the go, exercising, or simply prefer the convenience of using your watch, making calls has never been easier with Apple Watch!
