2 Link securely

Scan the watch code and approve on both devices. Nearby Bluetooth comes first; Internet Backup is a separate choice.

Frequently asked questions

Can Apple Watch pair directly with Android?

No. An iPhone is still needed to pair, set up and maintain Apple Watch. Wristvia tests a separate notification bridge.

Can I get Android alerts on Apple Watch?

Selected notifications have reached the watch in our test setup. Wristvia is an early prototype and is not a public compatibility app.

Does it work with every Android phone?

That has not been verified. Current physical testing uses one Honor phone and one Apple Watch pair.
