Family Setup lets family members who don't have their own iPhone enjoy the features and benefits of an Apple Watch.
With Family Setup, your family member who doesn't have their own iPhone can use their Apple Watch to do things like make phone calls, send messages, and share their location with you.
After you set up a watch for a family member, you can use your iPhone to manage some of the watch's capabilities.
•An Apple Watch Series 4 or later with cellular,* or Apple Watch SE with cellular, with watchOS 7 or later.
•An iPhone 6s or later with iOS 14 or later for the initial watch setup.
•An Apple ID for yourself and one for the family member who will use the Apple Watch. Your Apple ID needs to have two-factor authentication turned on.
