Apple Watch Mirroring is geared toward people with physical or motor disabilities, but can be helpful for those who find it easier to control an Apple Watch from the iPhone’s larger screen.
Navigating and using your Apple Watch directly can sometimes be a challenge, especially if some obstacle interferes with your ability to manipulate the watch’s small screen and controls. In that case, you may want to enlist your iPhone to control your watch. By turning on Apple Watch Mirroring, you tap and touch an image of your watch on your phone to access different menus, activate key features, and launch various apps.
As an accessibility feature, Apple Watch Mirroring is especially geared toward people with physical or motor disabilities who may run into difficulties trying to use their Apple Watch directly. But the feature can prove helpful for anyone in a situation where it’s easier to control the watch from the phone’s larger screen. This option requires iOS 16 on your iPhone and watchOS 9 on an Apple Watch Series 6 or later.
