iWatch phone: How does it actually work?

In addition to its extensive functionality for getting stats on your fitness, the Apple Watch is also fantastic for quickly and easily answering and initiating calls yourself. However, many users don't even know how to actually use the watch to make a phone call and still reach back for the iPhone.

Apple iWatch: How to make phone calls with the smartwatch

In order to make a phone call with the watch, it must first be paired with an iPhone. Without an active SIM card in the smartphone, this function cannot be used.

1. Now to initiate a phone call and call a contact, you need to ask the voice assistant "Siri" for help.
2. Say "Siri, please call Karl". This function is only possible if there is a contact named Karl in your address book.
3. Alternatively, you can also use the command "Dial [number]", but of course you have to dictate the number.
4. Also, within the command to call a contact, it is possible to specify whether it should be contacted via WhatsApp or FaceTime.
5. Als letzte Option steht es Ihnen offen, auch manuell zur Telefon-App zu wechseln, die durch einen grünen Hörer gekennzeichnet ist.
6. Innerhalb dieser App finden Sie Ihre Kontakte, die Sie durch Antippen anrufen können.
7. In diesem Zusammenhang steht Ihnen ebenfalls die Funktion der „Anrufliste“ zur Verfügung, sodass Sie zuletzt genutzte Kontakte oder verpasste Anrufe schnell anwählen können.
