As can be clearly seen on a screenshot below, the accompanying instructions inside the Bluetooth menu link to an unreleased “Apple Watch app” for setting up and controlling the wearable device.
Oliver Chavarel additionally discovered that users will even be able to manage iPhone settings from the Watch itself like setting sounds and airplane mode, choosing wallpapers and more, and even ping the device in case it gets misplaced.
It’s been recently discovered that installing Watch apps will require installing an Apple Watch app on an iPhone, which will be used to download apps onto the Watch and manage settings of the wrist-worn device.
