so the new apple watch series 6 has just been released and i'm sure you
want to know more about it so i have got 10 tips for your new apple watch 6.
hello again guys welcome back to tech it easy so we've got another apple themed video today we're
going to be going over the top 10 tips for the apple watch series 6. just before we jump into the
video if you do enjoy the content and you're new here please do subscribe to the channel and leave
a like and a comment without further ado let's jump into the video so for our first apple watch
series 6 tip we've got a potentially life-saving one yep that's right by pressing and holding the
inset button on the side of your apple watch you can actually bring up the option to input your
medical data should you ever find yourself in such an unfortunate position that this needs to be used
this could actually be really really helpful to paramedics or for anyone who's caring for you i
definitely recommend inputting your data just to be safe for tip number two we're gonna make
use of that fancy digital crown on the side of the watch the little twisty thing so i discovered you
can actually do something really cool with this you can actually use it to control the volume of
any music you're playing you can do this whenever you're in the now playing mode and to be honest
it's just super satisfying to play with now for our third tip it's actually quite an important
one considering the current circumstances and that is that the apple watch alongside watch os 7
actually detects when you're washing your hands if you stop washing your hands before the 20
second timer is up then it'll actually vibrate and tell you to keep on going this all happens in the
background so you won't actually see it happening but it's certainly a really cool thing to have
it'll use all its various sensors to detect when there's running water and when you're moving your
hands in a certain way and it'll just know when you're washing your hands certainly more useful
than having to actually physically set an app off because that can get quite annoying if you're
washing your hands very often for tip number four we're going to talk about siri now usually to
activate siri you'd say those two magic words and input your commands but now with the apple watch
series 6 all you need to do is actually raise your wrist and it'll actually detect that motion and
you can just simply ask your question or put your command in again it's certainly easier than having
to say the command especially when you're out in public in a tip number five is smart home features
now i briefly showed this off in my apple watch series 6 review but you can actually use your
apple watch to control things like your light and your tv if you have any automatic blinds that
are smart enabled then you can also probably use it to control them as well this again is
definitely a cool feature to have on your wrist it's definitely easier than having to pull your
phone out and do it we personally use it a lot to control our lifts light bulbs in the lounge area
tip number six screenshots yep you can actually take screenshots on your apple watch now this
might not sound too exciting at first but it would be really nice for people who want to share their
fitness achievements with their friends before you can do this though you do need to enable
it in the settings to do this go to the watch companion app tap general there you'll be able
to toggle screenshots on or off once that's sorted simply press the crown and the button below it at
the same time and voila tip number seven is heart rate notifications now i mentioned how important
these could be certainly for vulnerable people in my full review so what you can do is actually
enable notifications when your heart rate is getting lower or higher than it should be when
you enable this you can choose a threshold and choose how far it can go above or below on top
of that it can look out for signs it could be a long-term issue which again could be potentially
life-saving such an amazing thing to have on your wrist for tip number eight we're gonna quickly fly
through apple's watch faces i'm gonna show you how you can actually edit them and customize them just
to how you like them now i do really like apple's ui on this and it's actually really really simple
you can just swipe through the colors and dials and styles that you wish and scroll through them
using that rotating crown there's a couple of different default faces to start off from
but honestly the possibilities are endless you can get really really creative with this
once you find a nice watch face you want to edit simply press and hold on it and then click edit
and there you can find all your customization tools tip number nine is a couple of useful
tips in one swiping up from the bottom of the watch will bring up a tray where you can find
a few really quick useful features up at the top there next to the wi-fi button is to find my phone
so when you press that it'll actually buzz your phone for you i find this really really helpful
you've also got theater mode for when you go to the cinema to watch movie a mode for turning off
notifications when you go to sleep you've also got a flashlight which is also really handy and then
of course aeroplane mode there's also a few others that you can play around with if you need them
the best thing about this is you can actually edit it and customize it and add which features you
think you'll actually need tip number 10 last but not least is a nice quick and easy one and that's
just simply reorganizing your app drawer now if you're new to apple or not too familiar you might
be struggling to work out which picture belongs to what app there's no names under it and there's
only very small icons so what you can actually do is change this to a list view admittedly it
doesn't look as nice as the honeycomb design but for people who are just getting used to their
watch it might be handy to have on for a month or so just to get used to all the icons so if
you would prefer to see the names with the icons all you need to do is switch it to list mode okay
