Apple Watch SE for minors

As the parent, am I able to restrict the contacts that my child is able to call or text with their Apple Watch SE? And can I protect them by automatically blocking incoming calls and texts that come from unapproved contacts?

Hello 530_716,


Is this an Apple Watch that was set up via the Family Setup feature? If so, this page can help provide info on using communication limits: Set up a family member’s Apple Watch


Set up Screen Time
Use Screen Time to configure controls for a family member’s Apple Watch. With Screen Time you can schedule time away from the screen, and limit both contacts and the apps your family member can use to communicate with those contacts. You can also impose limits on iTunes Store and app purchases, explicit content, and location information.
To set up Screen Time, follow these steps:
1. Open the Apple Watch app on the iPhone used to manage the watch.
2. Tap My Watch, tap Family Watches, tap a watch, then tap Done.
3. Tap Screen Time, tap Screen Time Settings, then tap Turn On Screen Time.
4. On the following screens, configure options for allowable content, communication safety, time away from screens, and app and website limits.
5. Create a Screen Time passcode.


Manage a family member’s Apple Watch
1. Open the Apple Watch app on the iPhone used to manage the watch.
2. Tap My Watch, tap Family Watches, tap a watch, then tap Done.
When you tap My Watch for a managed watch, you see a variety of settings, including the following:

Choose trusted contacts.



Cheers.
