Family plan apps on Apple Watch SE 2

Hi,

I'm having a problem downloading apps on my daughters Apple watch. I've tried the Watch app under her account and there are no installs to select. I also tried directly on the watch and it says processing but nothing is installed.

Unable to Download Many Apple Watch Apps, Thanks to 'iPhone Only' message, Family Sharing Setup I recently purchased an Apple Watch and set it up via Family Sharing with a family member's phone as my companion device. However, I'm having trouble downloading certain apps like AllTrails, which give the error message, "iPhone Only", when I go to install them. Is there any way to download these apps directly on my Apple Watch, or can I use my iPad to download them? I have an older iPhone (6), but it is too old to use as a companion device. I would appreciate any advice or solutions to help me use my Apple Watch to its full potential. Thank you!

Note that some Apple Watch features depend on having a companion iPhone, and aren't available on an Apple Watch that you pair using Family Setup. For more info, see:
