How to add custom message responses to your Apple Watch

Here's how to add custom quick replies to Messages on your Apple Watch.

When it comes to sending quick messages, your Apple Watch excels. But if you find yourself often sending texts that might be too complicated for Siri to parse, or you happen to dictate the same phrase over and over, try adding custom replies to your Messages screen.

How to add custom Message responses to your Apple Watch

Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
Tap on My Watch.
Tap on Messages.
Tap on Default Replies.

From here, you can type up to six replies that will show up on the Messages screen when composing or replying to a text. Emojis work, too! (Yes, even Spock's "live long and prosper" emoji!)

On the Apple Watch, you can find these replies at the bottom of the Messages compose screen. Just tap one to send it.
