In this guide, you will learn how to connect your Apple Watch to Wi-Fi so it has access to the Internet on its own, even when your iPhone isn’t nearby.
Apple Watch can connect to Wi-Fi and stay updated without an iPhone. You can connect to your trusted Wi-Fi network from Settings. Here’s how you can do it.
- Press the Digital Crown button to access the Home Screen.
- Find and tap on the Settings icon. It’s the one with the grey gear icon.
- Here, scroll down and tap on the Wi-Fi option.
- After the Apple Watch has scanned available Wi-Fi networks, tap on your Wi-Fi network.
- The network should connect instantly. If it requires a password, then enter it.
- After connecting to the Wi-Fi network, tap on its name again from the Wi-Fi screen and enable the toggle for Auto-Join, so it connects automatically every time.
You can check the Wi-Fi status of your device from the Control Center (press the side button to access it). If the Wi-Fi icon is blue, then Wi-Fi is connected.
That’s it, this is how you can connect to Wi-Fi on your Apple Watch and keep it updated even when your iPhone isn’t nearby.
