Apple Watch Tips:

  1. Access recently opened apps (switch between apps) by double click (press) the Digital Crown. Till WatchOS 9, this could be done using the side button. But since WatchOS 10, the side button takes you to the control centre.
  2. Use the mobile flash button (the one in the control centre - mobile with a couple of brackets around it) to ping your phone in case you need to find it. It send a loud ring to your phone. Quite useful when you don’t know where in the house did you keep your phone.
  3. Force restart - long press the Digital Crown and the side button together.
  4. Jason mentioned about silencing the timer by placing his hand over the watch - this applies to incoming calls as well or in fact any sound.
  5. During workout - quick access to music (currently being played), swipe left on the workout screen. The Digital Crown acts as a volume controller.
  6. Turn off Wi-Fi -saves battery - you don’t really need Wi-Fi unless you are updating the watch/apps. This was quite needed earlier for unlocking your phone while wearing a mask (Depends on your usage)
  7. Using low power mode is quite helpful to save power - the essential features still work - again depends on what you want tracked.
