phone and use other apps on watch

Is it possible to use the watch in phone mode and access other apps at the same time? I tried the buttons and all I get is a message about ending the call.

Hi Paul,


We see you'd like to know if you can multitask in other apps on your Apple Watch while using it for a phone call.


The section titled "While you’re on a call" in Answer phone calls on Apple Watch covers what you can do on your watch while on a call; this is limited to switching a call to your iPhone, adjusting the call volume, entering numbers using the keypad, and switching the call to another audio device. Multitasking in other apps while using your watch for a phone call is not an option.

Cheers!
