Apple Watch Settings: How to Use the Control Center on Apple Watch

Apple Watch Settings: How to Use the Control Center on Apple Watch

Generally, Apple Watch is simpler to use, but a few ways are there following which you can make it more convenient. You can add shortcuts to your favorite apps or increase the Watch's text size. Making these changes will help you to feel more comfortable. Apple Watch control center is one of the features of such mobiles.

These settings and features are compatible with any Apple model. Please ensure that your Watch can run the recent version of Apple's WatchOS 8 software. Thus, your Watch will have access to all recent features and improvements. 

Apple Watch Settings: How to Use the Control Center on Apple Watch

Here, we have given you six changes that you can make at the Apple Watch settings.

1) Manage all Activity Goals:

When Apple released WatchOS 7, it has also added an option to change the goals for your preferred time. Earlier, there was only an option to change your Move (or calories) goal. Therefore, you don't need to use the defaults— 30 minutes of exercise and a cumulative 12 standing hours a day. You are capable of changing anyone to fit the proper routine.

After making the small changes, you can hit your targets, especially while you begin your day, not the time when Apple says. For instance, if you use sleep tracking overnight and give a charge in the morning, you will not feel like losing an hour to close those rings.

Please head towards the Activity app and open it on your Watch. Then, you are required to scroll the display to the bottom and then click on the Change Goals.

If you are willing to take a screenshot of your Watch, you should tap on the Digital Crown and side button together. It is an easy and straightforward to use process.

To disable the feature of taking screenshots altogether, you should first move to the Settings app on your Watch and open it then. You can take the help of the Watch app on the mobile and then head towards the General option. Next, you need to scroll down the display until you find the Screenshots option. You should hit the option and then toggle off the switch beside Enable Screenshots.

2) Customize Apps that Appear in Your Dock:

Have you installed multiple apps on your device? If yes, it can be hard to look for the correct ones while you need them. It is when you can use the Apple Watch's Dock. It may happen that you are not familiar with this term. It is the iPhone's app switcher. However, you should hit the side button in the Watch to trigger this.

If you are willing, then customize the Dock to display any app. To customize it on the Watch, your first job is to head towards the Start menu and open it. Then, you are required to click on the Dock and choose the Favorites option. It is advised to set up this in your Phone's Watch app as it helps you to customize these apps.

Now, you have to open the application and tap on the Dock option on the iPhone. As soon as you choose the Favorites option, a list of apps is available. It is divided into two parts that are— Favorites and Do Not Include. Favorites indicate the applications that have been available recently in the Dock. You should hit the Edit button that is available in the top right corner. Thus, you are capable of customizing the Favorites.

3) Choose the Portrait Mode Photos:

The device allows you to set the Portrait mode images like the background. In this case, your first task is to dig into the settings that are available in the Watch app. If you are willing to start the process, then you need to launch the application first. Then, you are required to move to the Face Gallery tab available at the display bottom. Next, you should hit the Portraits option. It is available under your New Watch Faces category. It would help if you then hit the Choose Photos option available under Content to choose up to 24 photos. It rotates automatically while you raise the wrist or tap on display.

4) Stop Application from Installing Automatically:

Whenever you are going to install any application on the iPhone, it installs its Apple Watch counterpart automatically. It can clutter up the Watch's app grid.

Navigate to the Settings in your Watch app on the mobile. Then, move to the General option. Next, you are required to slide the switch (beside Automatic App Install) to Off. Open the Settings menu for doing this. Then, it would help if you tapped on the App Store, and then your task is to toggle the switch beside Automatic Downloads.

Now, you are capable of installing separate apps on the Watch. Just open the Watch app on the mobile, and then you need to scroll to the bottom, where a list of available apps is available.

5) Silence Noise Alerts:

People prefer to use Smartwatches to check the alert or the time. However, loud alerts can defeat this purpose. Swipe up from the display bottom to enable your Apple Watch's silent mode. Thus, you can launch the Control Center. Next, your job is to hit the icon to trigger the Silent Mode.

You are capable of doing this also. Just open the Apple Watch's Settings menu, and then your task is to scroll the page down to the Sound & Haptics. Next, you are required to toggle the switch beside Silent Mode. A volume slider is available, using which you can manage the incoming notifications sound.

6) Make Text Easier to Read:

When you read any news headlines or notifications, it can be hard on the display. You are capable of enhancing the font size on your Apple watch. If you're willing, then you should launch your Settings app on your Watch. Then, you need to scroll the page down to the Text Size. Next, you should rotate Digital Crown or click on the letters available.

Conclusion:

When you buy a new Apple Watch, you might think about the apple watch settings that you are required to enable or disable.

iPhone 14 Pro- Would The Rumors Become Reality?

iPhone 14 Pro- Would The Rumors Become Reality?

We are not sure of the timing of the release of the brand new iPhone 14 pro, but the anticipation of all its new features has already begun. All the experts have their say on what it would look like and perform, but it does remain speculation or, in other words, a rumor. There is no doubt that the iPhone has always been Apple's flagship, and its market has passionate users who would not dream of using another phone to sacrifice it.

Therefore, please find below a compilation of what is anticipated by all as of now. The rumors are still brewing and would change sooner than later.

As we speak about the rumors surrounding the new iPhone 14, the previous release called iPhone 13 and the mini, iPhone 14 pro, and Pro Max are on the stands now and selling well.

  • Rumor No 1 - The Design

Here are the rumors surrounding the design.

  • The new one would adopt many iPhone 4 and iPhone 12, which means flat edges. The edges would not be kept barren as the volume control buttons, rounded along with the mute button, would be placed in them.
  • To make it stronger, titanium would replace the existing metal on the sides, thus making it tougher. •The satin-like finish would be compounded with the existing glass finish with no changes to the Lightning ports.
  • The three cameras at the rear would not protrude as in the previous models, and they will be seated in the new model without a projection.
  • They could remove the display notch, and a USB- C type would enhance the connectivity.
  • Expectation of a sliding iPhone 14 Pro


  • Rumor No. 2 - Mini iPhone 14!

The failure of the iPhone 12 did not deter the company from releasing iPhone 13. It is rumored that they would not come out with a mini now but launch a large screen at 6.7 inches, thus making the regular phones automatically mini-sized.

  • Rumor No- 3. A shakeup in display

With the 5.4 inch mini under threat, all the iPhone 14's are expected to have a minimum of 6.1-inch display at the minimum and a 120Hz display which was resident in the pro versions of iPhone 13's. It is expected that at least one of the iPhones in the new batch would have LTPO.

As regards the Face ID, there is a possibility that it could become OLED. Such a move would eliminate the sensors but hinder the proposed punch- the real Camera! It is up to the designers now how to introduce both. IPhone customers would be happier to say goodbye to the display notch that is in use now.

  • Rumor No.4- A leap in Camera?

As of now, it is a 12 MP camera in vogue, but certain rumors suggest a 4X leap in this through iPhone 14. In other words, there could be a 48MP sensor in the pro-iPhone 14. The patrons would be delighted by this, but they would wish for a better telephoto lens along with the snapper, ultra-wide anyway. All these are great, but the true excitement lies in anticipating a zoom camera modeled behind a periscope!

  • Rumor No 5 - Introduction of USB - C?

Would the iPhone manufacturers move to a USB- C port from the Lightning Port? Among all the expectations, this one is the least expected. On the other hand, this rumor is fuelled by the fact that the iPad and MacBook have already switched to USB - C!

  • Rumor No 6- Return of The Touch ID?

Despite this, there are strong speculations that iPhone 14 Pro would not have a touch ID factored in. It is rumored that it is in the ' Testing Stage.' It would be embedded in its display rather than integrated like before.

  • Rumor No 7-Storage increase?

We expect the iPhone 13 storage options to be maintained, starting at 128GB and going up to 512GB for the iPhone 13 Pro models. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 is rumored to feature 2TB of onboard memory. Admittedly, with the ProRez video that Apple has to offer, it really would make sense for Apple to increase the storage capacity of its Pro phones. On the other hand, such a rumor is something we've been taking very seriously.

  • Rumor No 8- Battery impact & RAM Increase.

Apple's takeover of Intel's modem business could lead to an Apple-made 5G modem for the iPhone 14. In theory, this would provide Apple full influence over both the performance of 5G and the battery capacity impact.

For the iPhone 14 Pro models, at least the CPU is expected to be combined with 8GB of RAM, giving these devices a significant speed bump. Because of Apple's strong control over both equipment and Software, its iPhones have rivaled and even outperformed the finest Android phones with less onboard RAM. Due to this, there is a considerable likelihood that with an additional 2GB of RAM, the iPhone might function at an even higher level than it now does.

  • Rumor No.9- Chip Changes matter!

Apple's A-series chip would be in the iPhone in 2022, and we're very certain. The A16, which is expected to be the iPhone 13's chipset, will give a significant performance gain over the A15 Bionic.

Apple's rumored iPhone 14 could still use a 5nm technology because of a recent revelation that TSMC is having difficulties making the smaller chips. According to rumors, the iPhone 14 is expected to use an even higher A15 Bionic chip from TSMC than the 5nm A15 Bionic anticipated for the iPhone 13. Assuming that is the case, it would be the first time that an IPhone has endured more than three years with the same sized chipset.

  • Rumor No 10- No changes in Software!

The iPhone 14 is expected to arrive in the fall with a new version of Apple's iOS Software if the company follows its usual pattern. It is almost certain that the next version of iOS will be iOS 16.

  • Rumor No 11- Low or Higher Cost?

IPhone 14 Pro pricing is still a mystery, but Apple hasn't made major price movements from 2020's iPhone 12 and the iPhone 13 in 2021, so the current price structure is a suitable place to begin our guessing. The purported iPhone 14 Pro Max (a 6.7-inch phone) will be sold at a record low price of under $900. However comparing to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which may cost as much as $1,599, this is a bargain.

Conclusion:

T is evident that the patrons of the iPhone would love a new attractive design, a touch ID, smarter comparatively, and a powerful camera. The riddance of notch and battery endurance, along with an increase in RAM at a lower price, would be difficult to resist. However, the question remains 'Would the Rumours turn into reality '? The wait is getting shorter every day!
