Apple today announced Family Setup for Apple Watch Series 4 and later and Apple Watch SE, describing the feature as a way for parents, guardians, and
carers to pair Apple Watch models worn by others to a single iPhone.
Currently, every Apple Watch needs to pair with its own iPhone, but Family Setup will allow
users to pair watches for children or older members of their household who might not have their own iPhones.
Apple is pitching it as a new way for families to use Apple Watch in a novel way, allowing parents to specify who kids can call, and set up automatic location notifications.
Family Setup also includes a "Schooltime Mode," which sets up Do Not Disturb on kids' watches with restricted interaction and a special watch face.
