- Family Setup will be available in Canada in the next software update with iOS 14.3 and watchOS 7.2, on cellular models of Apple Watch Series 4 or later or Apple Watch SE paired with iPhone 6s or later.
- Not all features will be available if Apple Watch is set up through Family Setup. A wireless service plan is required for cellular service, currently available through Bell in Canada. Check apple.com/ca/watch/cellular for updates to participating wireless carriers and eligibility.
- To set up an Apple Watch with Family Setup, a new assistant guides users through the configuration steps on iPhone. Family Setup requires Family Sharing and an Apple ID for the child or older family member of the household, and cellular service enables all of its features.
- Apple Watch will support 14 hours of use with Family Setup.1
