Apple Watch For Your Kids is now available in India, allowing parents to activate the cellular Apple Watch models for their kids, allowing them to make calls and send texts without needing an iPhone. Apple Watch for Kids is a safe-for-kids option that works with Apple Watch Series 4 and later devices, as well as Watch SE variants.
In India, Apple Watch For Your Kids is compatible with Series 4 or later Apple Watches or SEs, when coupled with an iPhone 8 or later running the most recent watchOS and iOS. Not all capabilities are accessible, and cellular service—which is presently offered by Jio in India—requires a wireless service package.
When parents set up the Apple Watch on their iPhone, kids may use it to communicate with friends and family via messages and phone calls, stay motivated with activity goals tailored to them, and express their creativity with unique Memoji. To ensure safety, parents can approve all contacts.
With health and safety features like Emergency SOS, Maps, Siri, Alarms, and the App Store, Apple Watch For Your Kids gives your kids more freedom even when they’re not using an iPhone. Knowing that their child is safe and can be reached gives parents additional peace of mind. The family can take advantage of enhanced features that improve the Apple Watch experience in general with watchOS 10.

With the help of Apple Watch For Your Kids, kids can manage their schedule, plan family get-togethers, and view photo albums that are synced from an adult’s iPhone. They can even have their own phone number and Apple ID. They can also utilise Maps to navigate safely, ask Siri queries, and play music using Bluetooth speakers and headphones. The Find People app lets family members convey their whereabouts to their guardians, and it offers customisable location notifications that let them know where they are for one time or on a regular basis.
Kids may now establish specific targets for Exercise and Stand rings, and they can measure Move minutes instead of kilojoules burned, thanks to improvements made by Apple to the Activity rings experience. Kids’ outdoor workouts have been refined to give proper credit for parameters like exercise, distance, and move minutes. Emojis add fun to coaching notifications, which are customised based on reading levels. Youngsters can use Activity Competitions to challenge peers, give and accept invitations to activities, and view an Awards page for achievements. Using the side button, family members can contact emergency services, and if guardians are included as an emergency contact, they will be notified. This is known as Emergency SOS. Using the iPhone Health app, parents may monitor the health and activities of their family members.
With Apple Watch For Your Kids, parents can control content limits and Ask to Buy support while their children download third-party apps straight to their devices. Kids can learn to pay attention and focus in the classroom or at home with the help of the Schooltime mode. Do Not Disturb is turned on and restricted app access is shown by a yellow circle on the watch face. Using the Control Centre on their child’s watch, parents can set up Schooltime or set it up on their iPhone. The Apple Watch can also benefit from the Downtime feature, which prompts users five minutes prior to the app’s launch.

With Apple Watch For Your Kids, the device can be used for up to 14 hours every day. An Apple Watch Series 4 or later with mobile data, watchOS 7 or later, an iPhone 6s or later running iOS 14 or later, an Apple ID for both you and the family member, and a Family Sharing group that includes the Apple Watch user are required in order to set up an Apple Watch for a family member. To set up the watch, the person needs to be the organiser or a parent or guardian.
