Find out how to make phone calls directly from the Apple Watch. We are less than two weeks before the launch of Apple Watch in Europe, so it is high time to learn some of the most basic functions of the watch. Today, we dedicate this article to calls from Apple Watch: how to perform, become familiar with its interface, like passing a call, among other tricks that will be useful when we finally have the watch on our wrists.
Apple Watch offers different ways to make a phone call, so here we will get to each one that will best suit a particular circumstance. Of course, we must keep in mind at all times that to make a call from the clock need to be synchronized with our iPhone. It is responsible for making the call via your mobile network and sends it to Watch via Bluetooth.
- Call from the Phone application
Perhaps this is the most instinctive method that we follow when we receive an Apple Watch, it is closer to the way we do with our iPhone:
- We open the phone application from the home screen of Apple Watch.
- Here you can choose from Favorites, Recent and Contacts to select the person you want to call. The favorites can configure from your iPhone and the recent calls are also synchronized with our phone.
- Now we just click on the name of the person you want to call to start the call.
- Calling from the Apple Watch menu Friends
Another much faster method of making a phone call from Apple Watch is directly accessible through the menu Friends, although in this case we can only choose from those contacts that have previously set up as friends:
- Click on the Apple Watch side button to access the menu Friends.
- Turn the Digital Crown or touch the screen to select the contact you want to call.
- Click on the icon of a phone that will appear in the lower left corner under his picture.
- Call the Apple Watch Siri
And finally, as happens in our iPhone, we can also use Siri to call from our Apple Watch, ideal for all situations where we can not interact or pay attention to the clock display method.
- Utters the magic words “Hey Siri” or hold the Digital Crown to awaken the virtual assistant.
- Tell Siri who want to call, such as “Call Mary”.
- Siri will show us a contact number on the screen, so click on it if you agree to initiate the call.
