For many people, Apple Watch is mainly a fitness tracker and an extension of the iPhone. It conveniently reflects the notifications, calls and iOS messages, allowing users to stay up to date without removing their phones. What many carriers do not know, however, how powerful Watchos is rich in functionalities and how your smartwatch can accomplish.
You will find below ten Apple Watch advantages that you probably don't know.
Appropriate access
If you are a Watchos user, it is likely that you are already counting on Apple Pay to quickly make payments of your wrist. Likewise, the Apple Watch automatically synchronizes compatible tickets each time you add them to the Wallet app on iOS. This allows you to enter places and card plans by double-clicking on the side button and scanning the QR code on the display of the smartwatch. But what happens if your favorite gymnasium, cinema or airline does not officially offer Apple portfolio cards for tickets or purchased subscriptions?
Fortunately, you can manually create an Apple Watch card using any QR code. Simply download the Wallet Creator app to your iPhone, create the card and add it to the Wallet app on iOS. In a few seconds, the newly created card must also appear on your Apple Watch when you double-click its side button. This prevents you from digging your emails or third-party applications whenever you need to cross compatible doors.

Timeless text
It is not a secret that Apple watches compatible with cell can take independently of calls and send SMS. But did you know that regular Wi-Fi models can also do it, even when your iPhone is off or in a different place? As you can imagine, there are certain requirements and limits, but it is doable.
The first and main condition is to have Wi-Fi access. You can connect to any (unknown) network by entering its password in the Watchos Settings application. Once connected, you can send and receive images and make Audio Audio Calls directly from your wrist. This is particularly useful during emergencies if your iPhone dies or is stolen.
Speaking of iMessage, you can also use the Digital Touch applet in the messages on Watchos to send your real heart rate to contact. Simply place two fingers on the screen, then slide them down to send. If the recipient is also a Watcho user, haptic comments from his Apple Watch watch will imitate your heart rate to reproduce your pulse. It is a cute and less known way for couples to communicate.
Disguised web browser
Another feature of hidden messages is the integrated web view that offers a basic safari experience on Watchos. Everything you have to do is imitate a link, then open it on your Apple Watch. The functionality also supports the Reader Perk, who carefully presents the articles and hides distracting elements.
It is unlikely that reading items on the tiny display of a smartwatch will become a regular habit, but it could be useful in certain situations.
Reincarné iPod shuffle
You probably already use the native application of your Apple Watch to control music streaming on your iPhone. However, many users are missing the benefit of Watchos native reading. Simply associate airpods or third -party Bluetooth headphones with your smartwatch, and broadcast directly from Apple Music if you have an internet connection.
For offline listening, Apple Music and Spotify support the download of reading lists in local laptop storage, allowing you to leave your iPhone behind. This allows you to run outside with just your Apple Watch and a pair of wireless headphones.

The television remote control that you will never lose
Watchos also offers a native remote application that allows you to fully control your Apple TV. Even on this miniature screen, the interface manages to adapt to all the main buttons, allowing you to change applications, go back, navigate, control the volume, etc. It is ideal for cooking or cleaning and you don't want to dirty the Siri physical remote control or your iPhone. Or these moments when none of these articles are conveniently by hand.
You can also control other intelligent home devices based on the Homekit infrastructure using the Home Native application on Watchos. I often use it to change the color of my bulbs when Siri – Typical Siri fashion – behaves to process my vocal commands.

Radio check – Do you have copied?
Besides FaceTime and Imessage, the Apple Watch offers an exclusive communication tool that very few people use.
Walkie-Talkie is an integrated application that allows you to quickly contact other Watchos users using your voice. Once you have added a friend, you can communicate verbally in real time using audio technology Facetime. When you are in a meeting or just don't want to be reached, you can prevent your availability.
While most users probably prefer regular audio messages or telephone calls, the Walkie-Talkie application facilitates quick answers for minor questions, such as the milk brand to obtain from the supermarket. It is mainly intended for best friends, family members and partners, because having less intimate knowledge would reach you at any time too intrusive.

Localizer of iphone night
If you often go through your iPhone, you've probably used the practical ping rocking in the Apple Watch control center. When you press, your iPhone produces a strong crytic if it is in the Bluetooth range. What you probably do not know, however, is that the pressure and maintenance on this rocking will also make the LED flash of the camera of your iPhone. This allows you to locate your phone in a black environment.
He can say the time!
Did you know that your Apple Watch can say the time? Literally, I mean. Once you have activated the speech time in the clock settings, you can ask Watchos to announce the current time while hearing two fingers audibly on the watch's face. I sometimes use this feature when I wake up in the morning to identify the time without opening my heavy eyelids.
Ticktock
If you live solo life and you must often record videos or take pictures of yourself, it is for you. Watchos offers an integrated camera remote application that transforms your Apple Watch into a viewfinder for your iPhone's camera application. This guarantees that you are in the context and helps you refine the composition before filming.
The application also offers practical shortcuts to some of the application buttons, such as shutter, zoom and flash.
Your Apple Watch can do much more than counting the steps and following the activity.

Another tip
For the latest advice, your Apple Watch can really calculate the amount of tip in restaurants. Simply enter the total invoice in the native calculator application and press the top button. You can then choose the percentage and possibly the number of people who divide it, and that's it!
Always at hand
The Apple Watch has traveled a long way. What was once a dependent accessory can now perform most of the most basic smartphone tasks. It is even more practical for those who have an active cellular plan.
It is true that performing most of these tasks would be more practical using the wider iPhone screen. But there are still cases where the Apple Watch has more sense. Sometimes your hands are busy, other times your iPhone is out of charge – constantly your reasons, it is comforting to know that the laptop attached to your wrist at any time can connect to your loved ones, play your favorite pieces, unlock electric doors, control and find other devices, and much more. Again and outside.
