    Other London focus mode - how can I auto lock

    After reading the sad thread quoted below, I have been trying to work out an automation that would lock my phone automatically if my iPhone went out of range of my Apple Watch. Essentially the same idea as “Dynamic Lock” that was introduced with Windows 10. My phone knows when it can’t connect...

    Apple Watch network requests timing out on Wi-Fi

    For the last week or so I've noticed my Apple Watch (series 6) is not able to connect to the internet over my home Wi-Fi. It shows that it's connected to the Wi-Fi but all network requests time out after around one minute. Wi-Fi works as expected on all my other devices. However if I disconnect...

    Missing historical GPS data in Workouts since iOS 17.5

    Issue: Earlier this week I noted that all of my workouts recorded earlier than 7 August 2023 no longer have a GPS map available, viewed via the Health app, Workouts app, or HealthFit. I'm not sure if this is related to iOS 17.5, or I just noticed it having installed the new update. It seems to...

    Can't Tap Notifications in Notification Center

    Has anyone experienced this? Every time I am in a workout and slide down Notification Center I can't tap on any notifications nor can I scroll on the screen I have to use the Digital Crown. I reset the watch multiple times and set it as new and it's still not working.

    Unusual Family Setup questions

    This'll probably seem weird, but I've been thinking about trying to replace my phone with a smartwatch, and as far as I can tell the only real way to do that is by using Apple Watch Family Setup. I've got some family members with iPhones that could help me with this, but there are some questions...

    Post your Apple Ecosystem!

    Hi all! I’m wondering what Apple products you use daily and can’t live without! I did something similar last year which was pretty fun so I thought I’d continued the yearly tradition to include new purchases. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (guess the colour 😂) Apple Watch Series 7 - Green...

    Series 7 Charging Duration

    I have a series 7 that supports USB-C fast charge. But I want to maintain the battery health percentage of my series 7 by buying a USB-A cable charger. I was a little doubtful about its originality because during a week of use, my battery health percentage dropped. And I was curious how much...

    Apple watch functionality off the wrist

    I am doing a project for wearable devices like smartwatches and I have a few questions about the Apple Watch. I don't own one so I thought I would post here. 1. When using Apple Maps or Google Maps does the screen remain always on showing the route/map directions? 2. If one is not wearing...

    Third Party Battery Health App for Apple Watch?

    Is there a third-party battery health app like Cocoanut Battery for the Apple Watch? The Battery app reporting is clearly bogus. The one on my S5 (second battery) indicated 94%, but I am only getting 6 hours. In store, the Genius diagnostics indicated 83%. They refused to replace until it was...

    Apps Anyone else have this white stripe instead of displaying the date?

    So, my watch shows a white stripe instead of the date but reveals the date when I turn my arm or tap the screen. I can’t screenshot it either because it goes away as soon as any motion is detected. I attached a pic, since I can’t screenshot it. Anyone else having this issue? It’s been doing this...

    Optimized Charge Limit on series 8 is driving me crazy

    First of all let say I’ve used Apple Watches since the very first one came out and I never had to worry about battery life on any of them… even my series 5, when it got to 79% overall battery capacity after 2 years, would still last me a whole day and I never had to worry or think about it. I’ve...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Two trade in boxes for iPhone and Watch. Which is which?

    Hi, two cardboard trade in boxes arrived at the same time with my new iPhone and watch. There's a unique customer reference number on each label but I don't know how to match that with the correct item. Can anyone help and explain how I figure out which box to send which item in?
