Since its introduction in 2014, the Apple Watch has concretized its position in the Apple sphere, becoming one of the most popular devices thanks to its simple yet highly functional features. If you have grabbed this nifty accessory, discover its additional functions. You may find something amazing hidden within this sleek device!

Discover something new!

Achieve better photos and selfies. If you navigate through the home screen of your Apple Watch, you can find a nifty camera feature that allows you to take photos remotely. This app automatically syncs with your iPhone if it is under the same cloud. This is a great feature because it will solve those awkward scenarios where your friend extends their arm and uses their index finger to take a scuffed group selfie. If the need ever arises, you can also just see what your phone sees from the safety of your wrist!

Ping your phone. In your hand one minute, the next minute gone! Have you ever experienced mindlessly wandering about with your phone out and suddenly losing it at home? I know I have! Don’t fret; just swipe up and access the control panel from your Apple Watch and tap that little phone icon with rings on the side. Viola! Your Apple Watch will prompt your phone to sing its whereabouts.

Never lose your phone again with the assistance of your Apple Watch—at least you know you will never lose it because it is wrapped around your wrist!

Make use of water ejection. The main function of this feature is to allow your Apple Watch to remain dry. As indicated by its name, it ejects water from the speaker grills of your watch. If you aren’t aware yet, the watch is capable of submersion of up to 50 meters in water. Cool, right? I use this function to keep things around my pocket from accidentally causing key inputs. The feature freezes the screen until the user presses the crown for about 5 seconds. So if you ever want to keep your playlist from being interrupted, this is a cool tip to remember.

Unlock your other Apple devices. One ring to rule them all, or at least, in this case, a watch. If you own an Apple Watch, you can unlock your iPhone and Mac devices. This feature, however, doesn’t automatically happen; for example, you need to go into your Mac settings and allow your Apple Watch to act as a key. After this, everything will become much more seamless when you want to browse something quickly. This function is beneficial when you have a mask on. Recent updates of Apple messed with the security of the face-unlocking feature of the iPhone, making it a hit or miss sometimes. This is no problem if you have the watch.

Speaking of having no problems, if you wish to have no issues with your Internet, such as slow speeds or inconsistent connections, upgrade yourself with PLDT Home Fiber Plus! With this, you will experience lightning-fast speeds and stable connectivity, allowing you to remain at your best when working or playing online!
