    One of my favorite Apple Watch tricks is to make a focus called “iPhone Locked” then set a shortcut to lock the iPhone screen when the focus is enabled. Then you can turn on the focus from your watch and lock your phone remotely if someone takes it out of your hand!

    Sometimes, if you’re on an Apple device, the join button does not appear. If you want to join the channel as a member, you need to use a non Apple device.

    Do you think whatsapp will bring a native app for the apple watch in the future? Considering it is the most selling watch in the world.

    My Watch SE2 had a ton of false positives on raise to speak, and wouldn't respond when I actually wanted to use it. Weird because it worked better on my Series 5, and better still on my Series 2.

    The Watch Face he is using is called “Modular Ultra” and it is only available on Apple Watch Ultras
