Apple Watch Mirroring allows you to see and control your Apple Watch screen from your paired iPhone. You can use touch or assistive features like Voice Control, Switch Control, and more on your iPhone to interact with Apple Watch.

There’s one requirement, though: Apple Watch Mirroring is available on Apple Watch Series 6 and later. And once you set up Accessibility Shortcut, you can turn it on right from your iPhone.

To turn on Apple Watch Mirroring, use either of the following:

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Apple Watch Mirroring.
You can triple-click a button if you set up Accessibility Shortcut.

To turn off Apple Watch Mirroring, tap the Close button.
