TIPS + TRICKS watchOS 11
Apple has turned its smartwatch operating system up to 11… and Craig Grannell is here to point you at the best bits of the latest update, because he knows what makes watchOS tick
THE BASICS
■ Get set Whether or not you’re new to Apple Watch and watchOS 11, spend time nosing around in Settings. Good places to start are Display & Brightness (to adjust text appearance and toggle the always-on display), App View (for grid or list options) and Passcode (to unlock with your iPhone).
■ Explore new apps Bit of a surfer? Go to App View and open Tides to monitor nearby tidal patterns. On holiday? Try Translate: speak into the watch and your words will be converted into another tongue; play it back so as not to embarrass yourself. There’s also Music Recognition, a renamed Shazam, because someone in Apple’s naming team is very dull.
