A Few Apple Watch Tips

Organizing the app dock: On an Apple Watch, with watchOS 3, users can view all currently open apps by pressing the action button. Users can customize how these open apps will be displayed. Once the user has pressed the action button to open up the dock, they can press and hold on any of the app widgets. Users can then drag it up or down to change the order of their apps.

Unlocking Apple Watch from iPhone: If you didn’t unlock your Apple Watch in the initial setup process, you can unlock the Watch and iPhone at the same time without having to hammer in a passcode. To unlock the devices, go to the Watch companion app. Once there, toggle the Unlock with iPhone feature on or off. Note, however, that you need to be wearing the Watch for this feature to work.

Scribble a message: With its Watch 2nd series, Apple decided to get rid of the Friends Circle. This decision meant that Digital Touch was moved to Messages. If you want to scribble a note to a friend instead of dictating one, or picking one of Apple’s pre-loaded responses, you should scroll down to the bottom of a message thread and hit the Scribble button.

Change the wrist raise action: In the Apple Watch settings menu, turn on the Wrist Raise feature. Open the Last Used app, and whichever app you were using when your Apple Watch went into power saving mode will be returned when you raise your wrist to check the screen.
