Big thanks to Skillshare for sponsoring this video.
I show you how I use the Apple Watch while using Android as my main phone. I get my calls, receive my text messages, emails, calendar events, app notifications and more all while benefiting from the Apple Watch's (potentially live saving) features.
What works:
- Phone calls
- Receiving text messages
- Emails
- Calendar events
- Social media notifications
- Apple Watch exercise tracking
- Apple Watch ECG scan
- Siri
- Google Assistant reminders
- Walkie Talkie
- Todoist
- Basically any cloud based app / notifications!
What doesn't work:
- Music control
- Sending text messages
Tasker Automation:
For the automatic hotspot toggling profile, I set the GPS & Net radius at 500m for each location. The starting task is to set WiFi Tether to OFF, and to set WiFi to ON. The exit task is to set WiFi Tether to ON. This way, when at the location in the 500m radius, the hotspot will automatically turn off and when you leave that radius it will automatically turn back on.

![How to hack your Apple Watch to use it with your Android phone [iMore]](/img/n.gif)
But is it worth it?
PhoneBuff Austin Evans
it depends on the person.
Just get an Android Wear watch
Can I use Mac instead...?
Nobody gonna use it
Imagine the sales Apple would get if the Apple watch worked natively with Android
Dooms
But if it did, the sales of the iPhone would go down, which generates the most revenue for Apple. Thus, they would not make it work on Android. Even if they did, many people would not buy it for its relatively high price. They would also (maybe) severely limit the functionality of the Apple Watch when paired with an Android
@@oof1291
I disagree. Almost no one buys an iPhone because of the apple watch. It's the opposite way around. I know over 200 people (the high majority of them have iPhones) and they would still use an iPhone even if the apple watch worked for both (that includes me too).
And hypothetically you would sell more than 10 more apple watches before losing 1 iPhone customers. Imessage and the quality of apps and the legit status is the reason most will always have iPhones.
I formally used Palm products, when Palm developed an app to allow Apple products to be compatible with Palm, Apple wrote software to kill it off. The question is this, what happens when you decide you no longer want to be an Apple customer? Then what?
h1a8 I’m not saying that people buy the iPhone just for the Apple Watch. I’m saying that some people may be more inclined to pay for an Android phone because it’s cheaper, and it still works with the Apple Watch. They would consider that they could buy a cheaper android phone and cop an Apple Watch with that. I do see your point though.
So basically it doesn’t work on androids without an iPhone 😂
Hhhhh yes
What he meant to say was.
buy an iPhone.
You saved me 10 mins. Thanks
This was worse than solving a math problem at school !! 🤦♂️😭😂
Lol
LMFAO
Ur such a fuking baby
Wait til u get to middle school
@@olerius1235 😂
Thanks a lot for your help with this, I got an apple watch and an old iPhone 6s. Now I got the Xperia 5ii which is amazing, I was worried I'd have to sell my Apple watch as it just didn't pair with the Xperia. Your solution is the only one that works somehow and guarantees still enough functionality to warrant not to have to sell my Apple watch. So THANK YOU!!!
Please I do not understand can you learn me

That Hotspot password is hugee..
Safety first
@@PhoneBuff Do you actually remeber or just using LastPass. Btw thanks a lot for a reply. None of the youtuber has replied me that has over 1M subscriber...
Abhiruk Chatterjee LoL I got reply fro, a youtubers who has 6M NOW, but he replied me at 6K subs wow
Abhiruk Chatterjee I use a password manager
That's a yuuuuuuuge password
This was awesome. This is what I want to see in tech videos. Not just this is what this is supposed to be used for but how I can bend those rules. Your definitely getting a sub from me.
This is not bending the rules.
This is exactly how its used.
The apple watch can only be used with an iPhone and he does the same.
Just an additional Android phone that you use everyday.
and the added step of having to share hotspot for the watch.
Overtime, after you get attached to the watch, you WILL end up buying an iPhone for the ease of access.
This a great video, thank you. sorry If i missed this, do u still need to have the watch connected to LTE or just use it depending on wifi and hotspots?
Hey, do you know of a good tutorial to create the profile/task on tasker to control hotspot? I just downloaded tasker yesterday and haven't been able to understand how to make it work like you said in your video
How to use the Apple Watch with Android:
Step 1: Buy an iPhone.
Wow.
hahaha
🤣🤣
Marry me
So stupid -,-
Easier way is to daul boot ios on your android
I never comment on videos but wow great video...you wanted to do something unconventional and you made it work.
In the last step, do you keep your sim card in the iPhone, or put it back into the Android phone? Or do you have two sim cards? Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks for the information it was very helpful i prefer using my note 9 over apple phone i followed all the instructions down to the digits app mor messaging and it all works perfectly i greatly appreciate the information
A option to consider for music is to pair AirPods or another Bluetooth headphone set with the iphone. Then you can use Apple Music on the iphone and play music from the Apple Watch, listen on your AirPods and use your Android data connection. Then you have volume control on the watch.
Thanks very much. Works really well for me. I need the real estate of the Galaxy Fold and anyway much prefer the Google ecosystem compared to the abhorrent jail sentence of Apple. However, Apple do make some great products and the watch is an example that just hasn't been emulated by any of the clones. I love all the health features and this system works just great. Not really expensive either as the iphone 7 is cheap as chips on ebay....(you need ios 13 btw if you're using the S4 watch)
Wow, this was a really in-depth and comprehensive video. I wished there was a digits line in my country.
I thought about this but it seemed to complicated for me so thank you because I can actually do this now
I can't wait to see a speed test between the XS Max and the S10 from Phonebuff, legit the only speed tests I watch on UA-cam because of the robot arm.
I’m curious if you can do this with an iPad instead
bro.. where u?? please do a speed test s10 vs iphone
Google voice solves the text messaging problems, plus you can still recieve imessages.
This is such a bad idea. What's the point of having an android phone if you are going to still have an iPhone 😂
He doesn't have to take the iPhone with him, and unlike for the Apple watch, he figured out iPhones are shit
@@aliabi1410 u r damn right..anybody reading this comment...increase Ur brain cells
@@aliabi1410 but if iPhones are shit then why buy one 🤷🏽♂️ that's ironic
@@RomoMalo so u can usw the apple watch
@@qouteler6092 well I understand the concept of the video but I don't get the actual point of getting an iPhone to use your Apple watch on Android. It's a waste of money and extremely inconvenient.
I was considering Apple watch but this appears to involves so much work just to use Apple watch on android. I'll stick with other products that work with android without all the hassles and additional costs. Thanks for sharing!
This is helpful thank you
It was great to see how you challenge yourself!!! It kept me watching till the end. Everything is possible if you look for a solution ::thumbs-up::
challenge yourself? wow thats the dumbest expression you could have given to this whole thing.
The watch requires an iPhone to work, baseline.
Instead of customers demanding a solution for it to work with every device, like a normal piece of technology should, (the existential meaning of technology is convenience)
This "work around" doesn't even accomplish anything.
How to use it with an Android? Basically you cannot. So whats the only option? use it with an iPhone. and you believe just buying an old iPhone and connecting it to the watch, using the hotspot from the android device to keep it powerd is a valid option? Thats the stupidest option. Hell if I am going to buy an iPhone and install and connect every app in it just as my android, I would just go and use an iPhone as my main driver.
It is baffling to see how stupid people can be.
Very structured, decision-tree like information and simple to understand. This video deserves a Big Like, deserve a Channel Follow and definitly a share. Thanks for putting it together!
Bro can u explain me ....and one question that could I be able to get notifications of my android phone on apple watch ...plz reply
I like your disclaimer. You’re very candid. A lot of content creators and companies ought to take a lesson from you.
Hands down the best video I have seen so far in this issue, and it’s 5 years old! Thanks. I think this is great if you were an iPhone user switching to android, like myself. I already have my phone and watch synced 😊
Smart workaround, but like you said, it's expensive and not efficient
That is just sooo much work 😭😭 Ugh.
I’m thinking about getting a galaxy s22 ultra. As a second phone. I’m thinking have my Apple Watch and android phone with same number. And have the apple phone with a different number. Could this work.
the video is what i have searched for, thanks for sharing
Apple is gonna disable the fact that you can connect Apple watch to a hotspot and then there's nothing you can do about it lol
One of the things I'm worried about lol
😂
Nah. Having Apple Watch forces you to stay or upgrade only to iPhone. The profit is there
Neuro Exorcist They actually can’t 🙃
That doesn’t make sense.
Damnn this dude is a genius
Great Video. I agree about the Apple Watch. I want one so bad I even have considered switching from android to IOS (boo). Great creative solution and info on the pros and cons. You da man!
Hey man, I wanted to know if I sync my workouts from the AW to my android device? I basically want to view my workouts on my android device.
we need an s10 speed test ASAP
O-60 in 14 seconds
@@zachtenbensel1440 lol
Waiting for the S10's speed test.
This is just 👌 thanks for informative vid...!!! I will try this now ✌🏻
I have an IPhone SE so it can connect to an Apple Watch but it doesn’t have cellular data so I thought about your idea and now I can actually use it

D. Reyna my favorite car ever! I fell in love when I saw a 1953 polo white when I was 6. Ended up buying an 84, found out it was pretty much not worth the effort (spun bearing) then got an 03 Z06 50th anniversary

This is actually interesting to for me. I have a Magenta Plan with T-Mobile through my company and I'm getting a 3rd line added for free later today. My wife has an Iphone 8 but wants to switch to Android because she wants to break out of the Apple cage. With that said, we will have 3 lines for the price of two, but with all the bells/whistles a T-Mobile plan can have (hotspot, etc...). I think she even has an older 6s Iphone we can use as one of the end-points for the watch, so we may just conveniently have everything we need to make this work.
Otherwise, what other smart watches would you recommend that isn't Apple? I agree, the Apple Watch is a banger of a smart watch, but the closest I hear as far as comparison is a Samsung smartwatch, but since I don't much care for that I don't really know much about them.
Great video and maybe it's something I'll have to attempt this weekend!
So much of efforts!
You put in work for this 👍🏾
How long did it take you to find out this method
I don't know, but there was a lot of experimenting.
Thanks bro.
I don't like Apple, which limit the users to just their ecosystem.
I'm a big fan of Google.
thanks for this. I got an Apple watch a few months ago but I've really been wanting to upgrade my iphone to a Samsung Zflip3
How does this work, I have an iphone11with sprint service through my work and series 4 watch and note 10 on my personal account, the only way to get the cellular to work on the watch is for the watch and iphone11 to both be not only on the same carrier (they are, sprint) but on the same acct (they are not). thoughts?
Dude, you have way more time than I do. Congrats.
‘But why would I wanna do that?’
Michael Lozito well why the fuck are you watching the video you knucklehead
Captain Oblivion THICC 😂😂😂😂😂
Yea. Just sell Apple Watch and buy Gear S3! It is awsome
Because old iphone are freaking slow and broken, new iphone is not worth the money. So get a new best value android phone is a better choice.
I am just looking for that one to buy ! amzn.to/355OGtg
Thanks for the assistance you gave me to enable me access my Apple watch 4.
Hi! I'm a bit confused on the steps. Could you please help? I have an apple watch without cellular. But I have an iPhone from my job that I must keep with me at all times with it's own cell phone number. So I don't mind having the phone w me in my purse nearby. My personal phone is a pixel and I have my own personal phone number. Can I still connect?
come on apple just make an app like samsung on android phones
i love apple but sometimes apple is selfish !
Are you fucking stupid?
@@soggiebunz120 no :)
Please do s10plus vs i phone xs max
Bro literally your the best
Phonebuff s10 vs 10s max i love ur vids more than others pleaseee
omfg i can’t believe i didn’t think of this
This is a headache, I'm not getting that apple watch
Lol you bet
Great info man, thx a bunch!
Nice tumb mail bro 😂😂😂😂 pro eddits XD
Sadly, Apple will never do it, but if they would program an Apple Watch app also for Android Phones, they would do a massive profit. For example, I would use an Apple Watch rather than my old Gear Sport, which is alright, but not as good as the Apple Watch...
Galaxy s10 vs xs max video pls
Would this work on a iPad instead of iPhone because then you don’t have to keep an extra device around if you already have a ipd
Great explaining, I was going to buy the apple watch but i must need an iphone. Thanks a lot! :D Good video!
The gear s3 is fantastic too. I use it on a daily basis.
Background looks like one of those Microsoft teams lol
I bought the apple gen 4 watch just to listen to music from beats. Now I’m finding I like it more
Great video.
being outside of US, and not having T-Mobile digits. Would it still work if it was Telegram or Signal app with SMS permission allowed?
Great - just great 👍
Hi there you make the best speed tests💓
Thank God I kept my old iphone !!! Thanks great video
But on any series of watches these functions work for android or sense about 4 series, please tell me, I want to buy 3 series for myself, I have Android
Why have u stopped uploading videos
I would like to use or buy a Apple watch series 4 GPS only to pair with S10+. I love the apple watches, but not the iphones...
Todd, we are totally 100% the same. I just love the fact that i know someone out there thinks and prefers the same. Cool.
Me too
Me too an iPhone I can't stand each year I buy the new version and I return it in the 15days satisfaction.
But Apple watch is something else .
Is it working?????
I bought a pebble time back in November for 40$, and it still works and happy with it. Even though pebble died. :(
For music did you try The Spotify Apple Watch app? Idk if it works but it’s supposed to be a Spotify remote app maybe it can control the music on the android phone if it’s playing
闲的蛋疼。
Translation: Great Job!
this means boring... you lying piece of shit!

Well, my father gifted me a Apple Watch and at that time I had an iPhone 6s now the problem is the phone is completely destroyed and I do not want to buy an iPhone again.I don’t wanna sell the Apple Watch too but man shit
I did a mistake buying an iPhone in the first place.
That sucks.

kudos man , u may be the only man to crack this formula , apple watch is awesome and iphone sucks its a shame it wont pair with android
You can use the Apple Watch with music. You need the Apple Airpods synced to the Android for it to work. A lot of stuffing around but it did work for me.
I just bring my iphone and my android together. That's the simple solution. 👍
I dont have a iPhone 7
*Tim Cook left the chat*
I have 2 phones and I want to made my second phone to mirroring notification like Phone call and messages from my first phone ? does any app can do this ? do someone know about this ?

I just had a headache😄✌️
Why?
I'm using the Huawei watch 1. Love it. Thinks it one of the best things ever.... But GOOGLE needs to update and work on it. U mean when was the last time the app was updated. Or when was the last time the watch was updated? 6 months now?

Or just get a Samsung gear watch or Android watch

hey he made it work. apple just needs to put out a simple patch to solve this. but you know they need money theyre poor af
@@TruckerNaz hmmm he made it work the way it's made to work, with an iPhone...
It technically still works with an android

bro i cant wait for s10plus vs iphone xs max speed test .....
I actually did that with the new watch SE (LTE) .
Bought a old 6s with ios14 for $100 and with the family setup everything it's so much easier. I actually don't need to let the phone on in home all the time.
I use the note20 Ultra.
