That's great!
That’s awesome!
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
@@GTx11 right. I thought this is common knowledge 😜
the quick find my iPhone button....if you hold it down instead of pressing, it will add a flashing light to the regular sound
Love the ‘water’ lock feature, my grandkids are always changing my watch. Thank you
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.
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
I did that too on occasion. I drove me nuts, especially when it seemed I couldn't get the original face back easily.
My watch switches faces all the time and it drives me crazy!
Congratulations on your twins! Hope this is a good adventure bringing you lots of joy
Glad I watched till the end because that water lick is the one I needed most! Great stuff as always.
Congratulations on twins! Thank you for all the content you create, it is awesome and extremely helpful! Blessings from Texas!
As always despite considering myself an experienced Apple user there are a few things here I didn't know!
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. 👍🏼
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.
Did you know (on my Apple Watch anyway), that if you power off your Apple Watch, you can still check the time by tapping the crown. It'll take a second, but there's the time.
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.
As someone who also has young twins and an Apple Watch, this last tip is gold. Thank you.
I just wanted to tell you how much I really enjoy watching your videos and I’ve really gotten so much value from them!
Thank you!
Thank you. I always love to learn more about my Apple products. Your videos are very much appreciated.
The water button was great cause I did not know that ! Thank you !
Didn’t know about keeping apps open for longer - that’ll come in handy. Thanks!
Great information! Well done!
Learned a few things!! And I thought I was an expert haha. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks, I have learned a few things !
Btw how do you screen record your Apple Watch ? (Like you did in your video)
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
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.
@@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
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 😀
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.
The water lock mode tip is a good one, thx!
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?
I have Apple Watch SE the first one thanks these features are cool good info 😊
Excellent thanks
Very useful tips. Many thanks!
Thank you for the information.
Excellent, found a couple I did not know.
Apologies for laughing out loud at the thought of kids setting an alarm in middle of night 😂
Using the water lock is a creative way to workaround this. Great video as always 👍🏼
No apology needed, it's amazing how much chaos a 5 month-old can cause just from tapping your Watch screen 😂
@@ProperHonestTech🤣
Hi. After unpairing with one phone and pairing with another one faces on my watch didn’t come. As well I can’t see battery %, theatre mode and etc. Help please😊
Thank you for telling me haw to swipe between watch faces. I wasn’t using most of the faces because it was not easy.
Great video. Thanks.
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!
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.
Very useful tips, thank you
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
thank you so much for letting us know that Swipe to Switch Face was put back! i've missed her so terribly
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!
@@Oleg__ funny you mention this; i just noticed that bug today! hoping they fix it soon
@@julepesaldana47 But you can see that in the video itself. I can see it in any video that shows this feature.
Brilliant vids my friend. Thank you for putting them out!
Didn’t know about the tip one, very cool. Thanks.
Thank you for all the information. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the video recently got a Ultra 2 and a lot of tip you stated I used both liked and subscribed :) after watching this video
Thanks!
I just watched one of your videos on CZcams 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.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Great tips. Thank you.
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!
Cool tips and Siri to open website is one I didn’t know
amazing thank you
This was a good one - thank you much
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?
Thanks 🙏🏿
Thank you
Thank you. Didn't know the swipe watch face is back until i watch this video. very useful!
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!
I sure enjoyed your video!!!
Nice video, I’ve subscribed, thankyou 👍😁
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
I just upgraded from a series 5 to a series 9 so I’m revisiting this video.
Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉 x 2! ❤
❤️👶👶 proofing trick. 🥰 That’s adorable! Congrats!!!
The timer tip is one I most definitely will use.
Thanks for the heads up on the sunlight feature. I think I need to update my phone and series 7 watch first. This is data I would like to keep track of. #Huberman
Which series watch do these apply to. I only have a series 4
😂 baby fingers. That was quite funny 😁
Thanks for the water lock mode tip. When I am snowblowing, my watch inevitably gets wet and then my jacket will press all kinds of buttons on screen. I didn’t know how to turn that off. Thanks!
Can these be done with the series 3? 🤔
you are always very good! you look good , nice delivery , Cheers
Great video. Not the usual clickbait ❤❤❤
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.
Nice one on sneak peaking the time in theatermode. However i use haptic time for that.
The tip feature doesn’t seem to work in denmark. That is a shame. Also danish special letters are not supported in scripple, or rather scripple are not supported in danish. But i got it to work using a work round, but i still need those special letters.
Thanks for the video!
One fun fact, my 1.5 yeas old son knows about Childproof lock now (somehow), he is keep pressing digital crown (he probably likes the sound of water ejecting) and we are again there :)
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.
Good video thanks. How about using Apple Pay on watch using assistive touch and gestures. This will allow one handed Apple Pay transactions.
That last tip...damn wish I had that when my kids were young lol
Love this video, so useful. Is there a reason why you use a regular apple watch over the Ultra?
I'm fortunate enough to own both, I've got a Series 9 and an Ultra 2. I rotate between them on different days.
How does daylight mode work when wearing long sleeves. Here in CO we wear long sleeves 6 months of the year...
Should be peek, not peak. Great stuff as always
How do you get information into time in daylight automatically?
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.
Tip in calculator on my apple watch 7 does not work. No tip button.
Thank you for uploading. I found some very useful new features I had no idea about. Liked and subscribed in return.
*I used to be able to swap between apps by double clicking the crown.*
Now it goes to the app list loaded or loaded before. But it used to be able to swap between the last 2 open so you can run 2 apps and swap quickly.
What happened to this ??
How do you set the silent alarm?
Which calculator app is for Watch? Is there a fee to use it?
If there is a any way, even a multi-step process or Siri shortcut, to watch a tiktok video my friends send to me as a link in Messages, I could go entirely without my phone all day. Any tips?
Does that mean someone with an Apple Watch Ultra can send me a link to their modular pro (a face only available on Ultra watches) then can I (a normal AW9 user) use the modular pro
Web pages are designed mostly for pc
If the developer isn’t lazy may add mobile version too but it is really also possible for watch
One of the things I find most useful is Express Travel Mode e.g. on the London Underground just offer the watch to the reader - no need to double click to activate your credit card/ debit card :- )
Ah so that’s where it works. I had the button break on my old Apple Watch and I was hoping to still using the tap pay but unfortunately it doesn’t work in the Singapore public transport
Can you view FaceTime calls on your watch or must you still use your iPhone?
9:22 Peak in theatre mode. Turning the Digital Crown on my Apple watch 8 doesn’t fade in the display, it’s totally unresponsive. Although my wife’s did fade in as you demonstrated on her Apple Watch 9. Is this a new feature of the 9 or is there another setting I need to enable or is mine faulty? Thanks for the tips!
Sorted it! I had “wake on crown up” option turned off in my display and brightness settings! 😄
❤Twins! ❤
I'm running watchOS 10.3.1 and the TIP button doesn't appear on my calculator app. Instead it shows a % button. Is there a setting I need to change to enable the TIP button?
How do i turn up the sound when I’m taking a call. I can hardly hear the person calling
Turn the crown
Yes, my ear once dialed the last number that I used during the day. I sleep with my arm over my eyes and twice my ear touched the complication of phone and called the number as I was asleep.
My watch had charging reminders on already which really surprised me as it has never once reminded me to charge it before bedtime - something is wrong with this setting.
Only comes on when battery is below a certain percentage
@@andreacavaliere884 yes, I realise that, but my watch is from 2 years ago and it frequently hits 20% by bedtime so theoretically I should get reminded
How to change the alarm time in the apple watch!? It kills me I couldn’t till now since I bought it
Does theatre mode also silence the phone?
Yes.
@@vlvr thank you 🙏
Ah, you think they are accidentally setting a wakeup call in the middle of the night. It's revenge for some nap time when they weren't sleepy!
My Apple Watch possibly saved my life last week. After going to bed, I was feeling very sick with mild chest pain, and wasn’t sure what was happening. Then my watch alerted me that my heart was in severe AF, this enabling my wife to immediately drive me the short distance to our local emergency department for treatment and subsequently overnight hospitalisation and tests.
Thank you Apple! Brilliant!
Can it show the time?
Hi, I'm from Belgium and tried your tip for the calculator but I don't have the TIP option neither the split bill function... Is there something to activate somewhere?
Think it depends on the model. I have an SE 2 model and the calculator does not carry this function. So Google if your model carries it.
@@chac7307 I’ve found the solution, there was an option to activate in the settings of the watch…! Now it’s working 😉
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
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.
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
@@Danysterr You can turn off the Action button triggering the Siren in the Watch app on your phone. It's under Action Button > Siren.
