However if you want to see how much storage you have to play with, go to the<em> Apple Watch Companion<\/em> app, then go to <em>General<\/em> and then select <em>Usage<\/em>. Here you&#8217;ll be able to get a breakdown of how much space apps are taking up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>How to Add Music to Your Watch:<\/em> Adding MP3s to your Apple Watch may be not strictly necessary, but if you&#8217;re out for a run without your iPhone, this possibility can be useful. To get your music on the Watch you first need to create a playlist on your iPhone, and then go to the Apple Watch companion app. Once in the companion app, choose the <em>Music<\/em> app from the list on the phone. Then choose your playlist. Now it will start syncing. If however it does not start, stick your Watch on its charging pad. You will not be able to see your music until you pair some wireless headphones, which is done via the Bluetooth part of the settings menu. Once they&#8217;re synced, go to the <em>Music<\/em> app on the Apple Watch, and long press to show synced playlists. You will be able now to play music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>How to Reorganize Apps:<\/em> You can change the order of your apps on that familiar home screen in the companion app. Just choose <em>App Layout<\/em>. Then press and hold on the tiles and move them about the honeycomb, like a game of wearable blockbusters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>How to Use Third-party Complications:<\/em> Added to the mix in watchOS 2, information can now be drawn from third-party apps into watch faces. The main face for this is the<em> Modular<\/em>, but <em>Utility<\/em> and<em> Chronograph<\/em> also have options for adding data from the likes of <em>CityMapper<\/em> and <em>AccuWeather<\/em> too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>How to Wipe Notifications:<\/em> If you&#8217;re overburdened by notifications you can wipe your history by swiping down from the top of your screen to access a chronological list. Once displayed you can delete them all by long pressing the screen then tapping <em>Clear All<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>How to Time Travel through the Day:<\/em> Scrolling the digital crown when using a watch face that supports calendar features &#8211; <em>Modular or Utility<\/em> &#8211; will enable you to cycle through upcoming or past events in your calendar. If you press the <em>Digital Crown<\/em>, this will return you to the present, once again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>How to Transfer a call to iPhone:<\/em>\u00a0Suppose you received a call on your Apple Watch. However you prefer to continue it on your iPhone? It is easy, just accept the call from the smartwatch and swipe up to send it over to the paired iPhone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>How to Re-open the Last Used App:<\/em> Switching between apps is easy. To do so, jump back to the last used app by double-tapping the <em>Digital Crown<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>How to Trim Notifications:<\/em> By default, your Apple Watch will show any notification that appears on your iPhone,. You can turn each one off individually, to quell the digital noise. To do so, in the iPhone&#8217;s Apple Watch app menu tap <em>Notifications<\/em> and scroll down to &#8216;mirror iPhone alerts from&#8217; and start turning off those annoying offenders.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Links\">Links<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The most efficient way to recycle the Apple Watch you don&#8217;t need anymore: Trade in the gadget to iGotOffer for fast cash and for the best price on online market: <a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/wearable\/apple\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sell Apple Watch now<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>How to play music from your Apple Watch without your iPhone.
