What is Family Setup?

Family Setup allows you to use your iPhone to pair an Apple Watch for a family member who doesn’t have their own iPhone — like a school-aged child or an older parent.  The Apple Watch for your family member will have its own phone number and its own Apple ID.

With a wireless service plan it will allow your family member to use all of the great features of Family Setup including phone calls, text messages, Walkie-Talkie, location notifications, App Store, Siri, and more.
