When it comes to staying connected on the go, your Apple Watch can be a handy tool for making calls. Here’s a detailed guide on how to initiate and manage calls right from your wrist.
Accessing the Phone App
To start, locate and open the Phone app on your Apple Watch. You can easily find this app by tapping on its icon on the home screen.
Browsing Contacts
After opening the Phone app, tap on the Contacts option. From there, turn the Digital Crown to scroll through your list of contacts. This allows you to select the person you want to call.
Initiating the Call
Once you’ve selected a contact, tap on their name, and then tap the phone icon to initiate the call. If you prefer making a FaceTime audio call, you can do so by selecting the FaceTime Audio option.
Calling a Phone Number
If you wish to call a specific phone number instead of a contact, simply tap on the phone number option within the Phone app and proceed with dialing the number.
Adjusting Call Volume
During your call, you can easily adjust the volume by using the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch. Simply turn the Crown to increase or decrease the volume according to your preference.
Ending a Call
To end a call on your Apple Watch, tap the red phone icon on the screen. This will terminate the call and allow you to proceed with other activities on your device.
Using Siri for Calls
If you prefer a hands-free approach, you can also use Siri to make calls on your Apple Watch. Simply activate Siri by saying “Hey Siri” or holding down the Digital Crown, and then give the voice command to place the call.
Managing Recent Calls
To view and manage your recent calls, swipe up on the Phone app to access the Recent Calls section. Here, you can see a list of your incoming and outgoing calls, making it convenient to redial or check call history.
Setting up Favorites
To streamline your calling experience, consider setting up Favorites on your Apple Watch. This allows you to quickly access frequently contacted individuals with just a few taps on your watch.
Enabling Call Forwarding
If you need to forward calls from your iPhone to your Apple Watch, ensure that Call Forwarding is set up properly in your iPhone settings. This way, you can seamlessly receive calls on your watch even when your phone is not within reach.
Utilizing AirPods for Calls
For enhanced call quality and privacy, consider pairing your Apple Watch with AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones. This allows you to enjoy crystal-clear audio during your calls while keeping conversations discreet.
Exploring Additional Calling Features
Lastly, don’t hesitate to explore the various features and settings within the Phone app on your Apple Watch. From customizing ringtones to blocking unwanted calls, there are numerous options to enhance your calling experience on the go.
