Voici trois fonctionnalités de l'Apple Watch qui résolvent les problèmes courants d'un iPhone.

The iPhone is the most important object in the lives of many users, and it becomes even better with an Apple Watch paired with it. Here are three features of an Apple Watch that solve some common problems of iPhones.

Ping Your iPhone

If you are one of those people who often lose their iPhone, always leaving it somewhere, there is an Apple Watch feature that you will particularly like.

Press the lateral button on your Apple Watch to open the Control Center, and you will see a button with an icon representing your iPhone, with waves coming out of the sides.

Pressing this button will send a notification to your iPhone, causing it to emit a sound for you to easily locate it.

On the latest hardware of Apple Watch, this feature becomes even better. Apple explains:

With the Apple Watch Series 9, the Apple Watch Series 10 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2, you can also see a general indication and the distance to your iPhone.

Your watch screen will display a title and the distance to your iPhone, guiding you with Precise Location until its location. When you are close to your iPhone, your watch will blink green and the iPhone will ping twice.

#2 : Take a Distance Photo

The camera of the iPhone is one of its most important features. But sometimes, you are in a situation where you need to take a photo from a distance.

Whether taking a good group photo or operating alone and needing help, the Apple Watch can assist you.

watchOS includes a dedicated Remote Camera app. With it, you can control your iPhone's camera remotely while wearing your watch.

The Remote Camera displays a live view of what your iPhone sees on your watch screen. You can press to take a photo and adjust the settings from your wrist as well.

#3 : Notification Buffer and Summaries

Perhaps the biggest problem that many of us have with our iPhone is that they are too attached to it. The smartphone addiction is a serious issue and is amplified by notifications that persistently demand our attention.

Surprisingly, the Apple Watch can be quite effective at helping you use your iPhone less.

Without a watch, it is easy to pick up your iPhone every time it pings, and get drawn into applications and activities that are inefficient and useless—without even knowing it.

The Apple Watch offers a useful buffer against constantly picking up your iPhone.

You can receive notifications on your wrist, and if they are not important, it is easy to continue your day with minimal disruption of the device. If you wish, you can also customize your notifications so that only critical ones arrive at your bracelet or iPhone.

I particularly appreciated receiving Apple Intelligence notification summaries on my Apple Watch. These summaries allow me to be better informed about what truly requires my attention, reducing the number of times I pick up my iPhone.

Apple Watch Features: Summary

There are many ways in which the Apple Watch is a convincing device by itself. But these complementary features show how it can also improve your experience with the iPhone, whether to help you find your iPhone, capture special moments with it, or simply reduce its use.
