under emergency sos it does not show the option to enable fall detection on the watch app although I do have wrist detection enabled I have tried un pairing the devices and have even tried restarting the devices. How should I fix this problem?
Apple Watch
Hello RandomPerson532,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re looking to set up fall detection on your Apple Watch. I’m happy to provide some information.
In order to enable fall detection, you must have an Apple Watch Series 4 or later.
If you do, I suggest updating both your Apple Watch and iPhone (if applicable):
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Then, you’ll want to follow these steps:
Use fall detection with Apple Watch - Apple Support
Let me know if that helps.
Take care.

Thanks for the additional information. Given the troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried, at this point, your best option is to contact Apple Support for further assistance.

Hello MoonJ.
Thank you for your advice but it didn’t help my situation my iphone is updated to iOS 13 and I have a series 5 watch which is updated to watchOS 6 but the option still isn’t there but thank you for your time. This would probably work for someone who hadn’t yet updated their devices.
Brenden dv,
thank you for your advice I will do that thank you
