Thus you&#8217;ll see if an update reports problems. If so, it may be wise to wait for Apple to issue a new update.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"A_Few_Tricks\">A Few Tricks<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">When your Apple Watch connects to a Wi-Fi network instead of your iPhone, green cloud icon will appear in the <em>Settings Glance<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">A green icon representing a running man appears when you use <em>Workout<\/em> on your Apple Watch. If you still see workout icon after you end your workout, just restart your watch, and the icon will disappear.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">When a small blue crescent moon appears on the face, it means that the <em>Not Disturb<\/em> mode is on. Thus calls and alerts won\u2019t ring or light up the screen. However, alarms do sound. If you prefer to turn off this setting, swipe up to open <em>Control Center<\/em>, and then tap <em>Do Not Disturb<\/em> button.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If a small icon representing an airplane appears on the watch face, it means that <em>Airplane Mode<\/em> is on. In this case wireless features turn off. However, you can still use other features on your watch. To turn off this setting, swipe up to open Control Center, then tap <em>Airplane Mode<\/em> button.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">When a red dot icon appears on top of the face (just above the 12), it means that you\u00a0received a notification. To read the notification, swipe down on the watch face.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If you see a green lightning bold on the face, it means that your Apple Watch is charging. The lightning will go away as soon as the device has been completely charged.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">A red lightning bold on the watch face is the Low battery icon. Obviously, it means that your battery is low.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">When you see a Lock icon on the watch face, it means that your Apple Watch is locked. To unlock the watch, tap to enter the passcode.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">When an Audio icon appears on the face, you can tap this icon to switch the audio output between paired Bluetooth headsets, speakers, and accessories.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If you see a red iPhone icon with a slash crossing it, it means that your Apple Watch is not connected to your iPhone. To connect the devices, you should move them closer together. Another way to connect them is to turn off Airplane Mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"Links\">Links<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The best way to recycle your old Apple Watch\u00a0: Sell it to iGotOffer for the highest price online.
