Hi there,


You can use your Apple Watch to either control your Apple TV or use Apple Fitness+. I'm not sure what you're looking to do, so I'll link instructions for both.


To use your Apple Watch as a remote to control your Apple TV, use Apple's instructions found here:

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/watch/apd619078d99/watchos

This requires the remote app. If you can't find this app, you can download it onto your iPhone using the link below. Once downloaded, it should automatically appear on your Apple Watch.

To use your Apple Watch for Apple Fitness+ on your Apple TV, use these instructions instead:

Cheers!

These are the same links...

I, too, still need the link for the instructions on how to use my Apple Watch for Apple Fitness+ on my Apple TV.


Thanks!

Whoops, sorry about that! Here's the actual link for instructions on how to use your Apple Watch for Apple Fitness+ on Apple TV:

Also note that this links to the Apple Watch User Guide, so you can find more Apple Fitness+ guides using the Table of Contents at the top of the webpage.


Cheers!
