In this short blog, you learn how to control your Apple Watch from your iPhone.

The accessibility feature “Apple Watch Mirroring” is not only helpful for people with physical and motor disabilities. Presenters and content creators may find it useful when creating educational material.

Your iPhone needs to run at least iOS 16 and you need a compatible Apple Watch:

  • Apple Watch Series 6 or greater

  • Apple Watch SE 2

  • Apple Watch Ultra

You can enable Apple Watch Mirroring through iOS Settings -> Accessibility

Here is a quick demo

You can interact with your Apple Watch in real time and use it just like on your wrist but through your iPhone screen.
