You have expensive taste my friend! I thought I was bad 😂
Even though I'm a career IT guy and migrated to Apple gear around 2008, I always learn something from your videos. Great work!
Man, Apple should hire you and pay you crazy money for your craftsmanship in these tutorials!! SUPER useful :)
I’m pretty sure he’s already on the pay sheet.
@@DOWNR4NGEwell your wrong
Very good indeed. Concise and easily understood. I’ve saved this video for future reference. Not many, if any, KZheadrs provide Tips&Tricks insight better than you do. Thank you very much. 👍🏽
I always love your ability to bring proper value to this type of videos, thank you!
I have an apple watch since one month and from time to time watch some videos on youtube about things that I might have missed about the watch. I seen dozens of them but most of them don't get farther than "you can even open the weather app, isn't that amazing???". But yours is the first video that actually had a lot of new tips for me. Thank you!
I stumbled across your page and I have to say, I absolutely love your presentation. Its hard to explain, but you are very different to the other tubers who report on Apple products. Another subscriber for you!!!!
For my iWatch Ultra this was incredibly helpful! Thank you
Thanks Tom! I was just hoping for a watch related video from you!
When can we start watching video on these watches? There are times I want to see a tutorial on YT or stream a show or watch exercises on my Jillian Michaels app or FitOn app.
As always - totally helpful. Thank you 🙏🏽
The tap to skip workout countdown ... brilliant!
I just found your channel and thank god I did! Wow, I’ve never seen anyone explaining so thorough and so easy to understand. Lots of people talk way too fast and they don’t show how to get to the screen they are showing. Thank you very much for taking the time to help us out. Blessings to you and your family.
Wonderful videos. Thank you for all your effort. I do want to answer phone calls with my watch. But I use hearing aids and the watch does not recognize them (even though the iPhone does). Are you aware of any way to get the hearing aids to work with calls answered by the watch?
Always look forward to your new videos!!
Maps on the watch is amazing, I used it while travelling. Best feature.
Clear explanations ! Thank you very much!
Love your videos. Great job! Have you done any on the apple sleep app. I did a search but couldn't find anything specific.
The Remote Camera is a good one. Thanks.
Great video. You gave me many ideas including the offline map feature. That will be great for me when I travel.
I’m like you with my Apple Watch I always forget to see what tips and tricks that it can do, yet I’m always looking for tips and tricks for my phone and my iPad. Love your videos. I was hoping you would show some of the finger tapping tricks- that would be fun. Thank you again for all you do, and good luck with those babies❤❤
I’ve just updated all tech for hubby and I. iPhone 15+ each, iPads each, plus watch, pencil and ear pods for me. Cost a bomb, but we only have the MagSafe and C charging needs to worry about. Your content is so helpful.
THANKYOU, this video is gold!!!
Wow, super informative, helpful and fun to watch. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Video terrific. Lots to take in and lots to learn. Thank you
Love your channel. I’ve learnt so much from you. Thanks!
Useful, professionally delivered information. Well done. 👏👏👏
Hi,thanks for all your reviews. Quick question, how do you like the “my three words app”? I like the concept however I haven’t figured a practical use for it, or maybe I just haven’t figured out how to use it practically
These tips were very helpful, so glad I happened across the video, Thanks! 🙏🏾👍🏾💫
Fabulous video. Thank you. I learned another few helpful ideas. 👍
Wow! Mind blown! That was one extensive list! So much I had no clue about, thank you! I’m going to save this, and come back to it, it’s really useful thanks!
He is always very informative. I wish I could get a transcript because I’m a senior citizen with short term memory problems. I can never remember his information long enough to put it to use.
You can! If you click on “…more” under the title it opens the video description at the bottom of which there’s a transcript which you can follow along. You could take a screenshot to save as a reminder. Hope this helps!
Always great content you will learn loads
This video helped with the flashlight for find my phone, thanks!
Lots of great tips here! I thought I knew all of them but there are some new ones here! Thanks!
Hey I really like the video and I appreciate it. I have a strange I can assure you Apple wasn't able to solve .. my Apple Watch ultra 2 and no longer start activities automatically or even when you press the activity.. all the settings are correct, nothing I can do just get started other than sliding over and starting. I downloaded the shortcut that was supposed to modify the watch for different times of the day.. but since Deleted it. (And updated the watch). Is it possible a shortcut is still somehow running? Shot in the dark you may know how to fox this or about the shortcut..
Great content! Thank you for all these useful tips! I subscribed immediately and will binge watch through your channel! Greetings from Munich. 🇩🇪️
Thanks , reliable information as always
First time hearing about apple ring and it is thanks to you pal. Keep up with the good job in providing updates
Great job still learning this watch it’s my first one !
Excellent tips, thanks!
Just bought my first Apple Watch and stumbled on your channel. Wow, exactly the content I was looking for! Thank you!
Great video. 1st time viewer but most definitely subbing. 😁
Hi I have been regularly watching all your videos. Really Helpful. Need some help. In my Apple Watch series 9 I could not find clock app…how to get it back? Thank you
Thank you for the explanation, I benefited a lot from the video.
Thank you! I'll use the Siri tips all the time plus the camera ones.
Great video content and explanation. Very simple and showed me things I was not aware of.
Who knew?! Very informative! Thanks!
I like your videos bro. Saludos from Atherton California
You need to do an update for 10.2 (the clock option now starts with swipe to switch watch face). Nice video though 😊
Good detail Even just one is helpful Thanks
Great coverage of the many useful functions👍
Had no idea there was a camera remote app on my watch. Thanks!
I watch all your videos.... I noticed that you have Nike Run Club app.. I also use that app but have a problem with my Open Run Pro Shokz bone conduction headphones. Maybe you can help..... While using NRC, I have the app reporting my times and distance every 1/4 mile. At the beginning of every voice prompt the voice in the Shokz cuts out briefly... I think that NRC is trying to find which app to broadcast on. I'm not sure if that makes any sense or not, but I'm trying.
Thanks for the insight
Amazing and so very helpful!
Man even though I work @ Apple and most of the things I tend to know. Your videos are so helpful and informative that I had to comment lol Please keep making these types of videos, I know everyone loves them and it helps out so much for people to be more aware of all the features and tips. Btw I still watch every single video of yours and I sometimes STILL learn new things even though I’m a die hard Apple guy haha Amazing content. Love the easy format and the personable video views.
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated!
@@ProperHonestTech - Oh, you're so helpful! Camera Remote? Who'da thunk it? One thing I can't find - how do I tell maps to avoid toll roads? So I just traded in my Watch 4 for the Watch Ultra 2. Lots more to learn. Blessings to you.
Thank you, this is very helpful. I’d like to know how you achieved the watch face seen at 1:16. I’ve looked through my gallery and don’t see any that look like that.
You’ve made a really great video…even after watching several Apple Watch instructional videos, I’ve either learned something new or had it better explain! THANK YOU!! Some people are just made for creating instructional videos, you’re one of those people. Your voice tone is perfect and easy to listen too…easy to listen to, equals better learning; I’m happy I happened upon this video and will search out others you’ve posted 😸
OMG Thank you so much for this video!!! I had NO IDEA I could ask for Messages and have them read to me! Thank you so much!
Awesome video, I learned a few great tips!
Nice! I found a couple in here I didn’t know about and/or might use.
Great info, realy like videos , best regards from Sweden 🎄
Out of this world GREAT tips for Apple Watch. You presented so many useful things that I didn’t know. Thanks so much for your videos!
thanks for the tips of how you can use your apple with the new features that apple put on them now it very helpful for me
You are so awesome with those detailed explanations of the settings and features on apple devices..
Is there a way to discover the battery usage of apps on the watch? Thanks for your great videos.
This was a very informative video Thanks
Excellent and clear explanations😊
Hi Tom. Thanks for a great video. I’ve got problems getting my iPhone 12 LED light to flash when I press and hold the ping button on the control screen of my ultra1 watch. It just pings after I tap and hold it. No light. am on IOS 17.1.2. Please advise.
Great ideas. I must try a few.
As a massive fountain pen enthusiast I came so close to skipping past the Hoverpen plug (ballpoints = “devil sticks”) but I’m glad that I didn’t! I hadn’t heard of the Hoverpen and I’ll be getting myself one. Cheers Tom!
tf you talking about? I think you got the wrong video mate
@@maxkonietzko4478 you clearly did not watch the sponsored part of this video. Mate.
Awesome and very informative!
Great video, thanks. Really useful and well presented.
Are you going to make a vid for the latest iOS version (10.2) that came out yesterday? Curious to see whats new!
Another great video. I find alert when left behind a great feature, many times have forgot to take iPhone and been able to return for it. I do miss the press to delete all messages
Excellent and helpful video. Thank you.
It was good to see you put the zoom on there as most people do not think about the accessability settings that can help lots of people. and also the haptic time is good a bit like the last point you made for talking time. with hapitc time when the watch is muted using the 2 fingers you get a haptic which tells you the time
As always, terrific video. Informative and enjoyable. I learned a lot, and like you, have had an Apple watch for several years and did not know about most of these features.
Great video - as usual! One question: is there a ‘find my’ that will locate my iPad? It’s the most frequently lost Apple device that I have!
At 1:23 you receive a call on your watch and the contact poster shows up. How did you manage to do that? I have many contacts that have a contact poster set up (and it also shows the contact posters in the contacts app of the Apple Watch itself), but in the call screen I always get the default grey background.
Does the ecg work in the uk
Great tips. Thanks. I will use several of those things. Personally, I love the ability to mute an incoming call by briefly covering the watch face with your hand.
Love the tips. Never knew that I can do all the things described in your video. Love it. Thank you very much. Please keep guiding us.
Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you're getting value from the content!
Can you make a video like this but make multiple for apple watches from series 3 to ultra 2 (im using series 3 and some of these tips dont work on it)
Make it 21 things - I also look at it to tell the time and date even!! Like magic!
Good stuff here. Thanks!
The best list!
I saw that "set ahead" feature and I never understood it. Why lie to yourself about the time? I'd rather know what time it was than lie to myself to offset my lazy behavior.
Excellent video mate, I’ve had an Apple Watch since they were first released (2015?), and I’ve learnt a lot of tips from your video that I didn’t know about for my SE Watch! All the best from Brighton pal
Thank you for another well done video. I wish you would add to every video the procedure for subscribing to your very excellent newsletter. This Friday’s (December 15, 2023) was outstanding! I confess: I always skip to the tip, and then go back and read the rest. 15:03
Very good review. 👏🏻
What is the watch face that you are using in this vid? It is very cool!
Haha the speak time use to only work with Mickey or mini. I’m glad it works with everything now 🥳
A previous version permitted checking ‘remaining battery’. That was removed… or was it? I can’t find an icon for it. Thanks for the great-as-always info.
Click the button below the crown and the control centre (which contains battery level) pops up.
@properHonestTech ...but where is the link to the shortcuts video?
How do you record the Apple Watch screen?
can i use my iwatch as a air tag? if i put my watch in my suitcase then use find my watch ?
I love this content! It is helping me get so much more from my apple devices. Now how do i get my years worth of 3 second count downs back?!
Thanks for these hidden features
