Feel the Time:

Most people don’t know that they can actually feel the time on their Apple wearable watches. This feature is called ‘Taptic Time’. Through this feature the watch will actually tell you time by providing you the haptic feedback through vibrations. Suppose if you are in a meeting and want to check the time without looking at the watch, just simply place and hold your two fingers on the watch screen (covering half screen) and the watch will inform you of the time through vibrations.

Means if it’s 3:25 PM, the watch will give you three long vibrations for hours (3), 2 long vibrations for 20 minutes (shorter vibration then hours) and then 5 short taps for 5 minutes. You might have to activate this feature in your watch, for this you can go to settings, tap on clock and turn on the feature called Taptic time. This feature is also very useful for visually disabled individuals.

Identify the Music:

Suppose if you walk into a mall or a gathering where a song is playing loudly and if you like then you can simply get the name of the song through your watch. The watch automatically identifies the song you just have to scroll down in your stacks and find the shazam ‘identify music’ and tap on it and it will give the name of the song in just a second and from there you can also add it to your apple music. To activate this feature, you might have to go to settings > privacy & security > microphone and enable the music detection. Or you can also ask Siri to identify the music for you but for that you have to activate Siri first and then ask what song is playing right now.

Ping You iPhone:

You might have already heard about this feature, just like your misplaced earbuds it helps you find your iPhone easily. For this you can swipe down on your watch to get to the control center and there you’ll find a phone icon, if you press it your phone will produce an audible sound so you can find it quickly. If you long press that icon it will also blink the flashlight of your phone for better results. To use this feature your watch must be paired with your iPhone. It works on all kinds of iPhones; from previous models like iPhone 13 to the latest ones, iPhone 16 Pro Max. The feature is perfect for busy individuals and for people whose children misplace the phone in the house after use.

Screenshots from Watch – Is it Really Possible?

Yes, you can take screenshots on your apple watch swiftly and all those screenshots will be saved to your phone memory. To activate this feature, you have to go to the settings, then general and choose screenshots. From there enable screenshot feature. To take a screenshot you can either click the dial once or the dial and the side button at the same time. This is very useful for people who receive notifications on watch or check their fitness stats and want to save them for later.

Enjoy YouTube Videos

Now you can enjoy YouTube on your Apple watch easily! Since YouTube is not officially available on the app store of Apple watch, you have to use a third-party app for it which is totally free. Install the app called ‘WristTube’ and then you can enjoy all YouTube videos and podcasts on your watch while working out or jogging sessions. This works best for the latest watches such as Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple watch series 9 and 10.

Don’t Get Sick

Now your Apple watch can tell you in advance if you are about to get sick! There’s a pre-installed app coming in the latest watches called “Vitals”. This app sends you notifications and informs you in advance that something is not right with your vitals and you might get temperature. The apps work by recording your heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, blood oxygen and sleep duration. It needs at least 7 days of data to provide accurate results. You have to enable this notification by going to settings, scroll down until you find the vitals icon, press on it and enable notifications. It’s perfect for individuals who easily get sick or aged people who often face health problems.

Tap and Share

If you are in a hurry and want to save someone’s contact or give yours can become a problem. With your apple watch now you can share your contact or get someone else’s contact information with just a single tap. For this you have to complete your contact profile in your iPhone and enable the airdrop feature from your apple watch. Make sure your phone is paired with the watch, then go to settings of your watch > general > AirDrop and enable the feature called ‘Start sharing by bringing devices together’. After that you can simply tap your apple watch someone else’s and share the contact info with them. It also works from watch to iPhone and from iPhone to smartwatch.

Voice Isolation and Call Gestures

We all know that you can take or make calls directly from your watch but did you know now you get a smart voice isolation feature with the latest Apple watches. You can make or take calls outdoors in a noisy environment and the watch will cut out those disturbing noises in the background and improve the call quality for you. It even works if you’re showering, the person on the other side won’t be able to hear the noise of water splashes. Another thing your watch can do if someone calls you is that you can pick up the call by just double tapping your index finger and thumb. If you want to ignore or mute the call just cover your watch with your palm and the ringtone will go silent. Just make sure that inside your gesture setting the ‘Double Tap’ and ‘cover to mute’ options are enabled.
