65 Exciting Things You Can Do With the Apple Watch
Unlock Passwords & Notes on Your Mac | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You can use Approve with Apple Watch to unlock passwords in Safari or to unlock notes on your Mac. This is really handy if you don't have Touch ID or can't reach it. There isn't really much setup, but you do need to be on watchOS 6 or higher and macOS Catalina or higher. You need to enable Auto Unlock on your Mac and have two-factor authentication turned on for your Mac. Once this is set up, you just need to open the Passwords section of preferences on your Mac and then double click the side button on your watch. If you open a locked note, you will also be able to double-press this button to approve the unlock. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

On the settings screen there’s a button to ping your phone, so if it’s nearby you’ll hear it.

What’s more important, pushing your readers to another website because they were unable to read your article or lessening the impact of pop-up ad’s?

You have to go to your glances and click the icon next to airplay. It will play an alert sound to find your iPhone. If you press and hold it will play the sound and flash a light to notify you

Thank you for a nice listing of the fetures of the AW. It confirmed that I have no use for one. Your list had some interesting points (Apple Pay: Not at my bank or any of my CC, and less than 1 in10 stores around here know what you’re talking about). It ran the gamut down to just silly items (Drawing on a 1 inch screen? My finger covers a third of it). But it was a nice confirmation of just how useless one would be for me. YMMV

instagram doesn’t work with the apple watch anymore. I just got one thinking it does, apparently they discontinued the app, very disappointed

This is not the only watch that connects to the iPhone, but it is definitely one that interests a lot of users and delivers the best connectivity to the iPhone. There are a ton of exciting and useful things you can do with the Apple Watch, even some you can do without your iPhone. Here’s what the Apple Watch can do;
