How to Manage your Apple ID settings on Apple Watch

In watchOS 8 you can view and edit information associated with your Apple ID. You can add and edit your contact information, change your password, add a trusted phone number, and more.

Edit contact information

1. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
2. Tap [your user name].
3. Tap Name, Phone Numbers, Email, then do any of the following:

• Edit your name: Tap your name, then tap First, Middle, or Last.
• View, edit, and add contact information: Tap a phone number or email address under Reachable At. To remove an email address, tap it, then tap Remove Email Address.
• Add email addresses and phone numbers: Tap Add Email or Phone Number, choose to add an email address or phone number, tap Next, enter the information, then tap Done.
• Hide your email address: Tap Forward To. This option allows apps to contact you without receiving your real email address. When you choose this option, Apple creates a unique, random email address for you, and any email sent from the app to this address is forwarded to the personal address you choose.
• Change your birthday: Tap Birthday, then enter a new date.
• Get announcements, recommendations, or the Apple News newsletter: Under Subscriptions, you can turn on Announcements; recommendations for apps, music, TV, and more; or opt in to the Apple News Newsletter.

How to Manage Apple ID password and security

• Edit or add a trusted phone number: Tap your current trusted phone number, verify when prompted, then tap Remove Phone Number—if you have only one trusted number, you must enter a new one before you can delete the current number. To add an additional trusted phone number, tap Add a Trusted Phone Number.
