APPLE NEWS
be reminded it's your birthday
and tap the notification to see
the surprise again.
6. Save Power
If your Apple Watch is low on
battery — or you just won't
need anything besides the
time for awhile — you can
save power with the "Power
Reserve" option. The watch
will automatically enter this
state when the battery gets
low. But you can also access
it manually.
1. Swipe up on your watch
face to access Control Center.
2. Tap the battery percentage
and then slide the Reserve
Power slider to the right.
3. Tap "Proceed." Now your
watch will only display the
current time.
4.To exit press and hold the
side button.
7. Time Travel
Time Travel was feature that
let
you see things like sunrise,
sunset, upcoming and past
events, and past activity from
your watch face, simply by
turning the Digital Crown. Later
it was disabled and the ability
to peek at the time was added
in its place. But, why can't we
have both? It turns out you
can.
1. On your iPhone, open your
Watch app and select "Clock."
2. You'll see a toggle switch for
Time Travel. Simply turn it on.
3. Now if your newer model
watch is sleeping, simply turn
the Digital Crown slowly to
glance at the time.
4. When your watch is on, turn
the Digital Crown (on most
watch faces) and you'll see the
time go forward or backward.
8. A Tiny Flashlight
Remember when iPhone
didn't have a camera flash?
And, having a flashlight meant
downloading an app that
turned your screen white?
It's basically the same thing
on Apple Watch, but it's built
right in.
1. To access the flashlight just
swipe up on your watch face.
2. This will bring up Control
Center and you'll see a
flashlight icon.
3. Tap it to activate the
flashlight.
4.You can swipe left and right
to change modes. There's a
white mode, strobe mode, and
red mode.
9. Siri Super Hearing
You may not know it, but Siri
on Apple Watch is an excellent
listener. While it has some
limitations, Siri can hear what
you're saying over most traffic,
crowds, and children. So
whether your in a busy bar or
at a concert, odds are Siri will
hear you if you just speak up
a bit.
There are three ways to
access Siri.
• You can press and hold the
Digital Crown.
• Raise your wrist and say
"Hey Siri!"
• Or you can press the Siri
icon on the Siri watch face.
10. Digital Touch Isn't
Just For Drawing
Digital Touch is a fun gimmick
that Apple introduced with the
first generation Apple Watch.
It's now also available in iOS.
1. To access Digital Touch
open a message thread and
scroll down.
2. Just above the Scribble
and Apple Pay Options, you'll
see three smaller buttons.
3. The first is for dictation, the
second is for emojis, and the
last one is for Digital Touch.
Tap it to get started.
Once open, you can draw or
write whatever you want to
send. You can tap the top-
right corner for more colors.
But there's a few more things
you can do:
