Although you can connect your Apple Watch to your Android phone, you don't get all the functionality. The Apple Watch is designed to work with the iPhone, so some apps may not work correctly or at all when using the watch with an Android phone.
As for messaging applications such as: Telegram, you can easily use them to send messages from your watch, and you can also use fitness and health monitoring applications on the Apple Watch, but they will not sync with your Android phone. If you want to link your Apple Watch to your Android device despite the usage limits and restrictions, follow these steps:
1- What do you need to use your Apple Watch with your Android phone?
For your Apple Watch and Android phone to work together, you need an iPhone 6 or later and an Apple Watch (GPS + Cellular).
You also need to transfer the SIM card from your Android phone to your iPhone in just a few steps. So you need to make sure that your Android phone and iPhone are using the same SIM card.
All modern iPhones and most modern Android phones use a nano SIM, but not all Android phones do. Some Android phones can use a micro SIM card. And if you want to use iPhone 14, you need to use your Android phone's default eSIM, which you can transfer to the iPhone.
2- How to configure your Apple Watch to work with your Android phone:
Once you are sure you have everything you need, follow these steps:
- Transfer the Android SIM card to the iPhone.
- Turn on your iPhone and Apple Watch and pair them together.
- Wait for the pairing screen to appear on your iPhone, or go to the Watch app and select Pair New Watch.
- Click Options (you selected yourself).
- A blue circle will appear on the Apple Watch screen and open the iPhone's viewfinder camera.
- Hold the phone over the watch until the viewfinder camera takes a picture and the watch and iPhone begin pairing.
- Click Get to know your watch to learn more about how the watch works and the detection app.
- Turn off your iPhone and Apple Watch.
- Transfer your SIM card from iPhone to Android phone.
- Turn on your Android phone and make sure it's connected to a cellular network, then turn on your Apple Watch.
Then, you can use your Apple Watch to answer calls and send messages even if your main number is connected to your Android phone. If you're having trouble sending or receiving emails or making calls, you may need to reconnect your watch to your iPhone and update it.
