Do you know all of the cool things that your Apple Watch can do?
If you have just been using it to tell the time, record your runs, and check your emails and messages, then you’ve been doing it wrong so far. Sure, it can do all of that, but there are so many other cool features as well.
Ready to get even more out of your Apple Watch? Here are some awesome things that you might not realize it can do!
Use Google Assistant
Google Assistant is the feature of your Android phone that lets you use voice commands. You just have to say “Ok Google” and then voice your request or command. Google will then carry it out for you. For instance, you might want to say “Ok Google, set an alarm for 7 PM”. Well, now Google Assistant is available on Apple Watches, so you can give your watch some commands to keep you organized.
Stream Music
Forgetting your phone or iPod at home when you go for a run can be very annoying. You might be one of those people who simply can’t concentrate without listening to music! Well, if you have an Apple Watch, you don’t need to worry anymore as you can stream music from it to BlueTooth headphones. Just remember to get a soft band for the watch. You can do that if you visit DrWatchBand online. Softer bands made out of natural fibers won’t irritate your skin too much while you are sweating.
Use Android Pay
You can also use your Apple Watch to pay for things as well. You just need to have an Android Pay account. Once you have downloaded the app to the watch, you just need to set up a passcode. This is for security reasons and will prevent anyone using your account to buy things if they get their hands on your watch.
Control Your Apple TV
Got an Apple TV or other smart TV? Well, you’re in luck – you can control this by using your Apple Watch! This way, you will never waste any time looking for your remote control down the back of the sofa again. The watch comes with an in-built remote for Apple TVs, and you can install apps that allow you to change the channel and control volume levels for other smart TVs.
Unlock Your Mac
Sick of typing your password into your Mac every time you want to use it? There is a way around that – you just need to use your Apple Watch. You need to enable this in your Mac’s settings, though. Once you have done that, your MacBook should unlock instantly whenever you wake it up and are wearing your watch. However, this can only be done with Macs the more recent Mac models. If your Mac is a few years’ old, this feature might not be possible.
As you can see, there are so many cool and awesome features that you can do with your new Apple Watch!
