When looking for the iPhone when you have lost it you can do many things such as clutter the house in search of it. But there are also other methods of looking for it, such as using your watch as we tell you below.
An extra way to find your iPhone
When the iPhone is no longer in sight, anyone can begin to hyperventilate for fear of having asked for their mobile. There are many systems that are enabled to locate the iPhone, for example through the ‘Search’ application making a sound jump. Although, this forces you to have a computer or an iPad on top to perform the tracking.
That is why to facilitate this task, from Apple they have wanted to use the Apple Watch to be able to locate the iPhone linked with a simple sound. This is a piece of equipment that is always worn normally so it is easier than resorting to another external accessory. The only problem that arises is that the Apple Watch must be in the range of the iPhone so it will only work if the mobile has been lost, for example on the sofa at home or you do not remember where you left it. Otherwise you will have to resort to the other options where the internet connection is used.
The function that will make your iPhone ring from the Apple Watch
To make use of this search function, you simply have to go to the Apple Watch control center. This is done by sliding from bottom to top on the main face of the smartwatch. In the control center you will find different tockens and each one with a different function. To track the clock, you must click on the button that has the silhouette of your iPhone with stripes on the sides.
When you press it, you will see how the linked iPhone emits a ringing sound at maximum volume so you can know where it is located. It is important to note that this sound will always be emitted, even if the iPhone is in do not disturb mode or in complete silence, otherwise this function would be meaningless. With each press you give, the iPhone will emit a single sound so you can hit it as many times as you need. On the mobile device screen you will not see a message appear at any time, something that happens when a sound is emitted from ‘Search’.
Make this function more accessible on the watch
By default in the control center this button is located in the upper left. But it can always be moved to where you prefer so that it is more comfortable and accessible for you depending on how you use this function. That is why the control center icons can be edited as follows:
- Open the watch control center.
- Scroll to the bottom and click on ‘Edit’.
- Hold down the icon to ring the iPhone and drag it to where you want.
In this way you can have this function at all times in the place you want to find whenever you need your iPhone.
