When it comes to making calls on your Apple Watch, the process is quite straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you easily place calls right from your wrist:
1. Access the Phone App
To initiate a call on your Apple Watch, start by opening the Phone app. You can do this by tapping on the Phone icon on your Watch’s home screen.
2. Navigate to Contacts
Once you have the Phone app open, tap on the Contacts option. This will allow you to browse through your list of saved contacts directly on your Apple Watch.
3. Select a Contact
Scroll through your contacts by turning the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch. Once you find the person you want to call, tap on their name to view more options.
4. Initiate the Call
After selecting the contact, you will see different contact options. Tap on the phone icon to place a regular phone call. If you prefer to make a FaceTime audio call, tap on the FaceTime Audio button instead.
5. Dial a Phone Number
If you need to dial a phone number that is not saved in your contacts, you can do so by tapping on the keypad icon within the Phone app on your Apple Watch. Enter the number using the on-screen keypad and tap the call button to initiate the call.
6. Adjust Call Volume
During a call, you can easily adjust the volume on your Apple Watch by using the Digital Crown. Simply turn the Digital Crown up or down to increase or decrease the call volume as needed.
7. Answering Incoming Calls
When you receive an incoming call on your Apple Watch, you can answer it by tapping the green phone icon on the screen. To decline the call, tap the red phone icon. You can also silence the call by covering your Apple Watch with your hand.
8. Managing Multiple Calls
If you are on a call and receive another incoming call, you can manage multiple calls on your Apple Watch. You can switch between calls, merge them, or end a specific call by tapping on the relevant options displayed on the screen.
9. Using Siri for Voice Commands
Another convenient way to make calls on your Apple Watch is by using Siri. Simply raise your wrist and activate Siri by saying “Hey Siri,” followed by the command to call a specific contact or phone number. Siri will initiate the call for you.
10. Customizing Call Settings
Apple Watch allows you to customize call settings according to your preferences. You can adjust settings related to call forwarding, call waiting, and other call-related features by accessing the Phone settings on your Apple Watch.
11. Pairing Bluetooth Devices
If you prefer to use Bluetooth devices for your calls, you can easily pair them with your Apple Watch. This will enable you to make and receive calls using Bluetooth headphones, earbuds, or speakers connected to your Apple Watch.
12. Ending a Call
Once your call is complete, you can end it by tapping the red phone icon on your Apple Watch screen. This will disconnect the call and return you to the Phone app interface, allowing you to perform other tasks on your Watch.
