    • Send and receive digital messages Touch
    • Send and receive messages using Messages

    Make calls via Wi - Fi

    If your cellular operator offers Wi - Fi calls, you can use Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi - Fi instead of cellular network - even when your pair iPhone isn't with you or is disabled. Apple Watch comes to be in range of a Wi - Fi network that is connected to your iPhone in the past.

    To see if your carrier offers Wi - Fi calls, see the article Apple Support phone with Wi-Fi calls, then enable the calls on your iPhone and Apple Watch Wi - Fi.

    Note: You can make emergency calls via Wi - Fi, but when possible, use rather iPhone over a cellular connection - your location information will be more specific.

    Enable on iPhone Wi - Fi calls. On iPhone, go to settings > phone and turn on Wi - Fi calling and application to other devices.

    Enable calls on Apple Watch Wi - Fi. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap phone, then turn on Wi - Fi calls. If you do not see the parameter, make sure that you have activated calls on iPhone Wi - Fi.

    Answer please if you are able to perform any of these functions! And any troubleshooting you can think!

    Hello

    These features are not available because Apple Watch cannot connect to a network of GHz Wi - Fi 5.

    If your watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but lying in a 2.4 GHz Wi - Fi network your iPhone plugged in before, the watch can connect to this network and you can continue to use certain features, including Wi - Fi calls (when it is supported by your operator, you already have in place).

    • Your Mac has "allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac" selected in Security & Privacy preferences.
      Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click on Privacy & Security, then select the general tab.

    pgirardi, if you are unable to unlock your main computer after trying these steps, then you will need to cancel the match your iPhone and Apple Watch and try again.

    Cancel the match your iPhone and Apple Watch

    Take care.

  • I have problem with my Apple Watch, during the step count of the market does not appear on the watch?

    I have a problem with my Apple Watch, when I use the watch on my treadmill, keep the phone, the number of step does not appear, the whole market is a waste if it shows only not on Apple Watch, how to solve this problem?

    Hi Shabbir

    Apple Watch has two integrated health and fitness apps: enforcement activity and the application of the workout. For best results, make sure your arms naturally swings while walking on the treadmill, as Apple Watch uses movement of arm (measured by the built-in accelerometer) to track and evaluate movement for indoor activities. If you use the application of the training session, your watch will also measure your heart rate continuously for training in order to estimate the calories burned.

    Check that you have configured the application of the activity:

    -Press the rings activity on your watch dial or open the application for the activity (if you have not set it upwards, you will be prompted to answer a few questions).

    Also, make sure that the fitness of tracking is enabled:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > privacy > Motion & Fitness > fitness monitoring.

    You can improve the accuracy of the estimates related to activity in calibrating Apple Watch (take your iPhone with you on walks outdoors or tracks, connected to your Apple Watch and with location enabled Services - see the detailed instructions in the article to support below).

  • Can Apple Watch track a swim in an endless pool

    I work in an endless pool, which is actually a treadmill for swimmers. You will stay in one place and swim your heart while it blows a current against you to keep you in place in the small pool.

    I see that the watch can track laps, which is controlled by setting the distance of your pool so that he knows what is a length is, according to me. I also see that it can follow a free bath, and I guess it's GPS.

    No one knows if she can count the strokes? Or does anyone have an overview if you think it would work to track the swimming event in an endless pool where 1) don't stop and turn around each 'x' distance and 2) you also do not travel any distance to what a GPS is?

    Thanks in advance...

    N °

    Apple Watch uses GPS to track your progress in Open water swimming mode and titles towers during swimming in the pool swimming mode. The endless pool does not have to happen. As to count the strokes, I think it's (quite well know for that), but they do not report this information. Because they do not know to what extent you swim by race, they can use that to calculate your distance. However, I can see a future update where they have an Endless Pool mode when you enter the speed of the pool (assuming that you can set as a treadmill).

  • Apple Watch - ring exercise not updated

    Hello. Just today, I had problems with my Apple Watch Sport (series 1) watchOS3, which included the workout and the App running activity.

    Today, I went for a Cycle in the open air which I followed him on my Apple Watch (I brought my iPhone with me). I finished training and saved. In total, I had worked for 53 minutes, however, he wasn't to my activity.

    In business, he told me that I've only made 26/30 minutes of exercise, even though at the bottom it says 'Outdoor - 8.67 km Cycle'.

    I called the Apple Support, but he just told me to disable the pairing and re - pair my watch, which did not help. I was told that they were "redevelopment of their tools" and therefore could not diagnose my problem, so they told me to call back tomorrow.

    Why I write here today, it's just to see if someone has had this experience, and if you know how to solve this problem. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Progress toward your daily goal of exercise of credit, the application of the activity aims to identify the activity equal or exceed the equivalent intensity of a brisk walk. This requirement applies for general daily use and during the recording of training through the app to training sessions.

    Appropriations for the financial year is awarded for each full minute during which this condition is fulfilled. It is possible that not all of your cycling workout meets this requirement.

    The definition of a brisk walk varies from one person to another and depends on your personal information. To verify that this is correct - and update over time:

    • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: My Watch (tab) > health > edit - tap and adjust the settings, then press on in fact.

    Apple Watch uses different sensors and data sources to track the results of training sessions, depending on the type of activity. For example, with Apple Watch (first generation) and the models of series 1, the watch can access data matched iPhone GPS if it is taken along during the walk outdoors, running and cycling training. (Series 2 has built-in GPS).

    Calibrate your watch can improve the accuracy of the estimates made by the activity and workout app app. More information and instructions for calibration of your watch are available via the link below. The article also includes instructions for resetting the calibration data and leave.

    If you prefer to receive credits of exercise during the duration of your training sessions, regardless of their estimated intensity levels, follow them through the application of the training session using 'Other' as the type of activity. This credit a minute of exercise for each minute of the workout. Active calories will be estimated at a rate equivalent to a brisk walk or based on the data recorded by the heart rate sensor, according to what is higher.

    My new Apple Watch has a problem with iMessage and I know how to fix this on my iPhone but not watch?

    Hello

    Apple Watch uses the same parameters (for how you can be reached and how new conversations are started) for Messages as your iPhone.

    If you have two interviews separated with the same person, the following steps may help:

    • On your iPhone, check if there is more than one contact form in Contacts of this person (if so, remove duplicates).
    • Delete old Messages conversations with this contact on each of your iPhone and watch:
      • iPhone: app Messages > swipe to the left on a message thread > delete.
      • View: Open the Messages app (from the home screen, which is accessible by pressing the digital Crown) > swipe to the left on a message thread > tap on Trash / delete.
    • On your iPhone in the app Watch: Watch My > general > reset > press reset sync data:
      • You won't see anything happen after pressing it (the process runs in the background, invisible to the user).
