The Apple Watch has a lot of features that other devices do not have. Here are some tricks that users can pull off with such a watch on their wrist.
Use the Apple Watch To Unlock Any Mac Computer
If you protect your Apple’s computers with passwords, they can unlock by themselves if you get near them wearing the watch. At the same time, there is a ping on your wrist notifying you that it was the watch’s doing. To use this function, visit the System Preference on your Mac, click on Security & Privacy, and then allow the watch to unlock other devices.
Use The Apple Watch As A Remote Control
Apple TV comes with its own remote control, but if you have something that can be a replacement, things will get a lot easier. The remote control can get lost easily between the couch cushions, but if the alternative is right on your wrist, you do not have to look around anymore.
Use The Dock To Create Shortcuts For All The Apps You Want
The watch’s Dock is basically the app tray where you can put all your frequently used programs for quicker access. To customize the watch, go to the app for it on your iPhone and decide which apps you want to show.
You Can Use The Watch To Find Your iPhone
If you find yourself in search of your phone more often than you want it to, the Apple Watch can be your best assistant. What you have to do is to make the phone vibrates from the watch and then you will hear a loud tone.
Your Apple Watch Can Take Pictures
For the record, there is no camera on the Apple Watch, but it can control that of your iPhone. There is an app called Remote Camera through which you can see whatever is in front of the camera. You have the choice to take a picture instantly or put the camera on hold for three seconds
Checking The Weather Is Much Faster
If you want to check the weather, all you have to do is to lift the wrist, which is time-saving in comparison with breaking the question with a virtual assistant or a turn your phone on.
You Can Answer Or Silence Calls
When there is a phone call coming to your phone, you can use the Apple Watch to answer it or silence it without touching your phone.
The Apple Watch Can Control Your iPhone's Music
If you are streaming music from your iPhone, the Apple Watch can help you control it. If what you use is Spotify or Apple Music, you will see the options for them popping up on the watch’s screen.
You Can Make People In Your Contacts List Into Complications
You can make your contacts into complications so that you see them whenever you lift your wrist. This function can be used to give you quick access to important contacts like friends and family.
You Can Use The Apple Watch When Going Shopping
The Apple Watch can be your grocery list with which you can see and cross items out by lifting your wrist.
The Apple Watch Can Show You Lots Of Details About Your Heart
The Heart Rate app on your Apple Watch can provide you with data on your heart rate when you exercise and when you rest. If you wish to know more, visit the Health app on your iPhone and tap on the Heart tab.
Your Apple Watch Can Be Your Alarm Clock
If you wat the watch to wake you up, tap on the Alarm app and set a time. Unlike on the phone, you can only have a one-time frame at a time. If the alarm on the phone is too loud for you, you will love the fact that the watch is gentler at this respect. You can leave it on your wrist to sleep if you want.
The Apple Watch Is Pretty Good At Being A Stopwatch
Like anything that relates to the clock, the stopwatch app on the Apple Watch is orange, and it works well with average needs. There are three buttons for different purposes. The green one to start, the red one to stop and the white one to do a lap. The stopwatch is straightforward, so it is handy whenever you want to time anything.
The Apple Watch Can Be Your Navigator
Whenever you find yourself in need of navigation, the Apple Watch can be your best pal. The assistance you have will be like this. You are driving or biking, and the watch vibrates to tell you that there is a turn ahead. If you want to know to which direction you need to turn to, take a glance at the watch’s face.
With the Apple Watch, you have the comfort of having the GPS on your wrist. This is way more convenient than checking it on your car or turn the phone on to see the direction.
Paying For Goods With Your Apple Watch Is Easy
You can pay for goods with your Apple Watch by using Apple Pay. All you have to do is to press the side button twice and then choose the credit card or debit card.
This method is by far the quickest way. You do not have to sign anything, pull your wallet out, or even look for your phone. The mean is right on your wrist, and it can be entirely secure.
Your Apple Watch Can Control Your Smart-Home Lights
If you have any light in your house connected to Apple’s Home app, you can gain control of everything from your watch. One of the devices that can be part of this system is the Philips Hue. On the watch, the app you want to use looks like an orange icon of a house on a white background. First, summon the Dock and find the app. Press the side button, and you will see it. Find the light you want to control by tapping on the Home tab.
