Receiving Calls with Apple Watch

Welcome to the era of wearable technology, where your wristwatch is no longer limited to telling the time. Apple Watch provides a convenient and seamless way to stay connected without needing to take out your phone every time it rings. Let's explore the process of receiving calls with Apple Watch!

Setting up Call Forwarding

Before you can receive calls on your Apple Watch, make sure you have Call Forwarding enabled on your iPhone. Here's how you can set it up:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Select "Phone".
3. Tap on "Call Forwarding".
4. Toggle the switch to turn it on.
5. Enter the number you want to forward calls to.

Once Call Forwarding is set up on your iPhone, you're ready to start receiving calls on your Apple Watch.

Receiving Calls on Apple Watch

When your iPhone receives a call, your Apple Watch will mirror the call, allowing you to easily answer or decline it from your wrist. Here's how it works:

1. When a call comes in, your Apple Watch will vibrate on your wrist and display the caller's name or number.
2. To answer the call, simply tap on the green phone icon on your watch screen.
3. To decline the call, tap on the red phone icon.
4. If you choose to answer the call on your Apple Watch, you can use the built-in speaker and microphone for a hands-free conversation.

It's important to note that your iPhone needs to be within a reasonable distance from your Apple Watch to establish the connection for receiving calls. The watch connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, ensuring seamless communication when they are in proximity.

Customizing Call Options

Apple Watch offers several options to customize your call settings:

• You can mute an incoming call by covering your watch face with your palm.
• For more privacy, you can transfer the call to your iPhone by swiping up on the watch screen and tapping the "Transfer to iPhone" option.
• If you wish to silence a call, but still want to receive notifications, you can turn the Digital Crown clockwise to activate the "Silent mode".
• To reject a call and send a pre-written message to the caller, swipe up on the watch screen and select the "Reply with Message" option.

With these customization options, you can efficiently manage your calls and stay connected while on the go.

In Conclusion

Receiving calls with Apple Watch is a convenient feature that enhances your accessibility and connectivity. With the ability to handle incoming calls on your wrist, you can easily stay in touch without interrupting your daily activities. By following the steps outlined above, you'll be able to set up call forwarding and customize your call settings in no time. Stay connected and enjoy the convenience of your Apple Watch!
