10 tips and hidden functions you absolutely must discover!

Apple Watch Series 9 is packed with innovative features that revolutionize the user experience. From intuitive gestures like the double tap to the ultra-precise location system, including a Siri more efficient than ever, this connected watch pushes the limits. Discover our 10 tips to exploit the full potential of your Series 9 and simplify your daily life!

The double tap, the new essential gesture

Exclusive to Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, double tap functionality transforms the way you interact with your watch. Thanks to the S9 SiP chip, this gesture replaces the main button in many apps.

Among its multiple uses:

  • Start/stop a stopwatch
  • To take a picture
  • Answer a call
  • Navigate your Smart Stack

Enabled by default, the double tap is customizable from the Gestures settings of your watch. A simple and intuitive gesture that streamlines the daily user experience.

Find your iPhone in the blink of an eye

No more hassle to find your lost iPhone! The new Precision Location feature uses the Ultra Wideband chip in iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9 to guide you step by step.

With visual, audible and haptic indications, it’s impossible to miss your iPhone, even if it has fallen between two cushions. And with AirTags compatibility, you can even locate your keys or other important items.

To enable Precision Location:

  • Open the Find My app and select Objects
  • Choose your iPhone or AirTag and tap Find Nearby
  • Follow the on-screen instructions and get closer to the desired object

A feature that will change the lives of those in the air!

Siri, your personal health assistant

Another major new feature in Series 9: Siri is now capable of processing requests directly from the watch, without a connection. The result is ultra-fast responses to start a workout or set an alarm.

But the real revolution is access to health data. You can now ask Siri about your sleep, your heart rate or even dictate your body temperature. All this data is then synchronized with the Health app on your iPhone.

To take full advantage of Siri, remember to activate โ€œLift to Talkโ€ and โ€œSiri Offlineโ€ in the settings of your Apple Watch. Your personal assistant will no longer have any secrets from you!

Optimize the autonomy of your Series 9

Even though the Apple Watch Series 9 already offers a comfortable battery life of 18 hours, a few adjustments allow you to further gain endurance. Sure, you’ll have to give up some features, but sometimes it’s necessary.

Here’s how to boost your watch’s battery:

  • Turn off background app refresh
  • Enable Optimized Charging
  • Turn off haptic alerts
  • Turn off the always-on display
  • Switch to low power mode

Simple adjustments that can make a difference when every minute counts.
