    Mail notifications

    When I dismiss a Mail notification on my Apple Watch, should it also disappear from the notification center of my iPhone? Because this is not happening with the Mail and messages app, the rest of the notifications from other apps do disappear from the iPhone if I discard them from the Apple...

    Change to alarms in iOS18?

    Hi all, prior to the iOS18 update, I set my alarm in Health > Sleep > Full Schedule to vibration only. This would vibrate my watch (that I'm wearing at night) but the phone would stay silent. Now, both the watch and the phone are vibrating at the time of the alarm. Was there some change in...

    When will Apple stop releasing new watchOS for S6?

    The Series 6 is probably what would be considered the “baseline” Apple Watch nowadays, meaning the two generations after it were essentially the 6 with minor improvements, the 9+U2 being the first significant update in regards to the processor. It appears that Apple has settled on a 5 year...

    I hope I c an get some advice/guidance here. I had a series 4 with WatchOS 9.3.1 paired to my iPhone 14 Pro Max on iOS 16.3.1.

    Apple watchOS 10 Double Tap on latest watches only – disappointing

    The instant I saw the Double Tap feature on watchOS 10 I thought gimmick (unless of course it is being used as an accessibility aid in which case it's fantastic). Less than a minute later, however, I quickly changed my initial opinion and realised just how useful this could potentially be in...

    Upgrade Apple Watch only to Beta software?

    Hi everyone, I have a spare Apple Watch where I'd really like to try the beta watchOS10. However, when trying to upgrade from phone it says to first upgrade the phone to the beta. I don't want to do this as I don't have a spare phone. Anyone has a nice workaround for this? Thanks!

    Hi Guys, as you can see in the screenshot, the total calories calculation seems to be wrong. I am 32 years old, 1,75m tall and 90kg of weight. I did a heavy crosstraining - workout today and used the watch from sleep tracking over daily use, to the workout at the gym until now. The activity...

    I would like to be able to see song lyrics on Apple Watch on Apple Music. The watch has enough screen estate to fit lyrics. That's all.

    Wrong date on modular watch face

    I am having a weird bug on my S5 modular watch face. Often, it gives yesterday's date (both day and date). The calendar settings and app icon in the watch give the right date (and so does my phone). I can either wait a couple of hours for it to correct itself or simply restart the watch. It...

    Apps Apple Watch, Watch OS, and Apple's total inability to write code.

    A few months ago an S3 with WOS 8 started doing absurd readings on Activity, Movement ring, reading 1,000,000 calories per day consumed. With Apple we tried everything, nothing worked, I took it to service at the Apple Store and they encountered hardware issues. Okay, I thought, it was an old...

    How to reinstall WatchOS (not erase all settings) but actually wipe and reinstall the OS

    I would like to wipe the OS on my AW 6 and reinstall it. I have a problem with Siri that would not go away after erasing, unpair/repair. I see there is now the option to recover the watch here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204776 But this only works if the watch prompted the Phone/Watch...

    After update to 8.4.2 the new "Unity Lights" watch face is missing

    With watchOS 8.4.1 I was happily using the "Unity Lights" watch face on my AW7 Nike edition. However, after installing today's update to watchOS 8.4.2, the watch face is gone from the watch. I can still see and configure it in the Watch app on my phone (updated to 15.3.1), but it's completely...

    Speaking out loud - updating my Series 3 to watchOS 7.6

    This morning, I updated my iPhone X to 14.6 from 13.7, after updating, it said my Apple Watch is outdated. So, I said, alright, how bad could it be to update to 7.6? Well, I finally experienced what others have been complaining about. The unpairing process is not as bad as I thought it it would...

    Apple isn’t serious about Series 3 updates…

    What the heck? Two months ago I was frustrated by the fact that I couldn’t do anything to update my Series 3 Watch. I had to erease everything and then it finally updated. Since then it spent all this time on the charger. I didn’t restore the backup, didn’t set anything up, it was just erased...

    Apologies if this has a thread already, but is anyone else experiencing issues with their watch announcing calls after the WatchOS 7/7.01 update? I don't know if it's specific to the Series 4 Cellular model, as that is the one that I have. If you have experienced this, were you able to fix it...
