    Can you use an Apple Watch only with an iPad with iPad OS 16?

    with iPad OS 16 the iPad gained the Fitness app so can it now support an Apple Watch? I am currently on an android phone, an iPad Air 4 and a 2021 16" MBP. I barely use my smartphone for anything smart, so I just can't justify spending iPad money on a phone I won't use. traditionally this meant...

    So this is a very simple question that I hope has a simple answer. Why can’t my Apple Watch forward emails? I’ve tried several email services other than Apple Mail including Outlook, Spark, Airmail but none of them have the option to forward Mail. This is quite frustrating as I use Apple...

    Location services always on when using Weather complication

    I noticed if the Weather app on the iPhone is set to the current location, and a weather complication is set on the watch, location services is constantly on the iPhone, which causes the iPhone to always be warm (obviously some battery drain as well). I had a Series 2 AW, and the fix was to add...
