12 AWESOME things your Apple Watch can do!

[@CooperF]

4:27 Swiping to type is the easiest way for me to type on the Apple Watch screen. I recommend it if you haven’t yet tried it.

[@MartinSchlender]

Extra feature: switching on the torch while in theater mode does it with red light which can be very helpful in dark surroundings

[@ProperHonestTech]

That's great!

[@vikterstein9053]

That’s awesome!

[@blvckparis.]

Thx for ur added tips bro…

OR When the torch is on Swipe to the right to get a > flashing light And swipe again for the > red light

[@MartinSchlender]

@@GxTx015 right. I thought this is common knowledge 😜

[@Steve21945]

I always used to accidentally select different watch faces so I’m glad that you can’t accidentally do it anymore, although it is good to be able to toggle that feature

[@palmercolson7037]

I did that too on occasion. I drove me nuts, especially when it seemed I couldn't get the original face back easily.

[@Mary-el3pi]

My watch switches faces all the time and it drives me crazy!

[@Canadian_Living_in_Mexico]

Great Video: I did not know about the Time in Daylight function. I will start monitoring that. Using the water lock mode to disable the screen is great! Is there something similar for the iPhone?

[@jimhoff1488]

the quick find my iPhone button....if you hold it down instead of pressing, it will add a flashing light to the regular sound

[@KaiTiura]

You can use the Swipe method in Keyboard mode on your watch, and it's amazingly accurate for me, even with my big fingers. WAY better than writing out one letter at a time! LOVE the info about the tip calculator. You didn't mention that you have to scroll the crown to adjust the number of people, but I figured it out, Great info!

[@janakharp]

Congratulations on twins! Thank you for all the content you create, it is awesome and extremely helpful! Blessings from Texas!

[@hovelad]

As always despite considering myself an experienced Apple user there are a few things here I didn't know!

[@traceybartlam7737]

Thank you so much - the inability to swipe between faces really annoyed me. I watched this just in case it had been sorted as I’d heard a rumour it had. I had tried to work out how to no avail. I’m now happily swiping between faces again 😀

[@KienTran]

One thing about Keyboard vs Scribble pad. I find that it's actually easier to use swipe on the Watch keyboard over the scribble pad. You don't need to press individual letters on the keyboard. It's faster and take better advantage of the auto correct.

[@GirlGeekLovesStampin]

Thank you so much! Question pls: I use the activity as a watch face and would like to glance down to see how my rings are doing but the grey out. Do you know why?

[@captfred65]

I just watched one of your videos on KZbin for the first time. You show a thing to scan for more info. How do I scan while I’m watching your video? I’m not being sarcastic because I’m old, 78. and maybe it can be done. Thank you the video because I’m new to the Apple Watch and, wow, watch a great gadget.

[@mahito774]

Im 28 and I also dont know how to Scan it without a second device. Is there an App? Or function?

[@kingpuppet5881]

Thank you so much for this amazing video. I had no idea my Apple Watch Ultra could do these things. Always look forward to your new videos.

[@Nylgk]

Thank you, great video as usual and very informative. “Keep apps open longer” was a helpful feature I wasn’t aware of, so thank you for that. 👍🏼

[@MobileAddict]

Thanks, I have learned a few things ! Btw how do you screen record your Apple Watch ? (Like you did in your video)

[@dc4046]

The water lock feature will help me no end. My kids are past being held (although the 9yr old would accept it if offered), but I find when wearing gloves and performing a task (like clearing snow) the gloves will end up pressing the side buttons. Thanks for the great tips!

[@trainstrains1]

I hadn't thought of that. When I'm working on something my wrist moves and I find that apps have been pressed, screens changed etc. Good suggestion. I will use it.

[@Tigers.i]

One tip I recommend is enabling assistive touch in accessibility. Then toggle on Hand gestures, which allow you to turn on Quick Actions (when assistive touch is enabled). These are handy single hand gestures you can use to dismiss notifications, pause music, or sleep the display all by pinching your fingers or clenching your palm. They even work in water proof mode for the times you don’t want the screen touches enabled

[@ProperHonestTech]

I've got the Series 9 and Ultra 2 so I've been using the pinch feature, but I must admit I've been underwhelmed by it.

[@Tigers.i]

@@ProperHonestTech after seeing how the pinch feature worked I assume they were trying to make it easier to do what I’m suggesting with assistive touch. But I prefer the method I use because it works how you’d expect and doesn’t really get in the way of

[@andreasschmidt553]

I think you did not mention that for the tip feature in the calculator app you need to switch to this. By default it is calculating percentages... But as always, you content is so extremely valuable for me I try to watch all of them and follow up on your many many tricks. Although I consider myself a pro, there is always something new for me!

[@thomaslomax8769]

Thank you ,one thing that I think you should add is which model your tips work as some of them don’t work on older models.

[@Aviation_tech441]

Wow I don’t know half of the tricks you shared here and I thought I was an Apple Watch pro Thanks for sharing Your kids are so smart to be making calls and setting alarms on your watch 😂 I hope they are doing well Love your videos keep up the good work

[@fw.phxtom]

love to see an actually good tutorial! I'm constantly looking for new features but im very tech savvy so i rarely find anything I don't already know. This had a couple new tips for me. Thanks!

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

Congratulations on your twins! Hope this is a good adventure bringing you lots of joy

[@daveistrading]

Are all these features available when the watch is paired to older iPhone models?

[@cardshark3223]

The water lock can also be used to prevent accidental touches or pauses during workouts!

[@jameshopkins1919]

Do you have a tip for how to stop audio video apps always becoming the foreground app if you are using music/spotify/youtube. The reason is it’s too easy to knock volume in some scenarios, and also if I’m working out or hiking the watch always hides my map app and shows music/spotify etc when I always want to see the map.

[@pierrecarrette4976]

I am a new watch user. Thanks for the tips. I have a question about Music. I am used to searching my classical music library by Composer. This works on iPhone or iMac but I do not see that option on the watch … any idea? To note, I sort my library as follows: I prefix the composers of pop music with a ‘z’ (to have them at the bottom of the composers list) and similarly prefix the artists of classical music with a ‘z’ (to have them at the bottom of the artists list). Thus, my question.

[@Oleg__]

12:15 - But now this function works broken. When you swipe any watch face, it first shows the time 10 : 09, and only then the current actual time. This did not happen before!

[@pquirke]

Love this video, so useful. Is there a reason why you use a regular apple watch over the Ultra?

[@ProperHonestTech]

I'm fortunate enough to own both, I've got a Series 9 and an Ultra 2. I rotate between them on different days.

[@matttm3]

Would you say that it’s worth buying the series 9 now if I really want the fast charging I currently have a series 6 I don’t know if I should wait six more months for the next one

[@OrangeMoo]

Didn’t know about keeping apps open for longer - that’ll come in handy. Thanks!

[@philiprand3720]

Good going, again. I'm so new to AW that I'll have to learn where to find Face Time. As for calculating restaurant expenses, our Italian version of Watch OS uses the percent sign instead of tip. Even simpler might be to calculate the bill, say 145 decide on the percentage, say 10 percent and multiply the total by 145X 1,10 (I think it would be 1.10 in GB, if I'm not mistaken) then divide by the number of participants.

Love the water lock mode. My kid keeps grabbin my watch. But when I hold the crown to unlock, it plays an alarm type sound. How do I make that silent?

No way to silence this, to the best of my knowledge. But what you can do is tap the Digital Crown again the moment the noise starts.

Is there any way to deactivate the control center on the apple watch ultra 2 by holding the side button under the digital crown? This control center is also turned on by holding down the action button and I find it quite annoying and unnecessary. I'd like to turn it off somehow, as it wont turn on when I'm exercising. Thank you

[@vlvr]

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Could you clarify? Also, when I ride my bike, my bent wrist was often hitting the side button or the digital crown, which I didn't like. I solved this problem by turning the watch upside down. Now, my action button is near my wrist but since it's recessed, I never accidentally hit it. You can also alter the settings so the watch knows you're wearing it upside down and displays everything correctly. Just choose Left Wrist / Crown on Left.

[@Danysterr]

Thank you for your reply. What I meant was that when you hold the side button (under the digital crown) for 2-3 seconds the menu "siren, medical ID, return with compass and emergency call" appears. The same thing happens when you hold the action button for 2-3 seconds. I find this unnecessary, so I tried to see if I could turn it off on one of those buttons.@@vlvr
