you guys just absolutely have to check out some of these damn cool features on the apple watch series 7 like assistive touch reflections unlocking devices and so one of the newest features is really cool and let's just say you receive a message on your watch for example and you hit that reply button you can now use this qwerty keyboard to reply and although each letter is pretty tiny it is still really good at predicting what it is you're trying to type and if you don't like that method you can still use the swiping one to type out what it is you'd like to say but overall damn that is a cool thing to have on your watch so one of the most mind-blowing things about the series 7 is you can control the entire watch without even touching it so this is crazy if you clench your hand twice like this it activates something called assistive touch where you can actually use clenches or pinches to navigate your entire watch if that wasn't crazy enough you can even activate this mouse cursor which you navigate by rotating your wrist this feature honestly blew my mind and you definitely have to try this one out for yourself but do make sure you activate it first within the watch settings under accessibility then scroll down until you see assistive touch once you tap on that you can just toggle it on and you're pretty much good to go so when you clench twice it activates assistive touch when you pinch it basically navigates the watch or when you clench once it makes a selection so you do kind of have to get familiar with the prompts but you do start to remember them quite quickly now if that isn't freaking cool then i honestly don't know what is but either way you guys definitely have to try this one out now everybody loves a good new watch face and apple have some pretty cool ones with the new series seven they mainly brought out four new ones like this portrait one as well as the world time one so depending on what type of style you like there are a bunch of different ones to choose from but i must admit still a huge favor of mine is an emoji ones where you can choose a character that apple have already made or even your own memoji and they're constantly animated on your watch which just makes it so cool there is also this modular duo where you can choose from the different complications so if you're someone who likes a lot of information on their watch face you can choose from a whole whack of complications like spotify for example and on your second complication you can choose something like weather so in future when you want to quick and easily access your spotify and jam some tunes you're good to go and here's another cool little trick if you take two fingers and click and hold on the watch face 5 22 pm siri tells the time another great feature of this watch is you can kind of use it as a personal unlocking machine so as many of you probably know by now you cannot unlock your iphone if you have a face mask on however if you have an apple watch you can easily unlock your phone still while having your face mask on all you have to do is make sure this is enabled within the face id and passcode settings make sure to select your watch then go ahead toggle it on and now your phone will instantly unlock as you swipe up if you're wearing your apple watch you can also do this with any of your apple computers so like my imac for example if i click the space bar and my watch is on it automatically unlocks straight away and this again can quickly be activated in security and privacy under system preferences go ahead select your watch pop in your back's password and that's it but uh just make sure no one gets a hold of your watch okay so did you know you can find every single one of your apple products like your air tags your airpods your iphone and even your imac just by using your apple watch so if you're in the main menu and want to find your air tags you click on this little icon and right over here is a list of all your air tags once you've selected one scroll to the bottom hit that play sound and in seconds your airtag should start making a noise then click on this app if you want to find any of your apple devices like your ipad airpods or your iphone and once again click on the play sound give it a couple of seconds and whatever it is you're looking for should start making a sound like my airpods for example which i am always misplacing it's honestly so much easier finding things with my watch and also if you have any shared locations with friends or family you can track them down right over here now we have gotta talk about this reflect feature within the mindful app because it is so mesmerizing so if you're having a busy or hectic day and you click on that reflect option once you begin reflecting this incredible graphic appears on your watch to just help you get through the moment and feel the vibe then did you know within the timer's application you can actually set multiple timers if you scroll down you'll see this custom option where you can choose whatever timer you'd like to set then click start and you can keep creating as many times as you'd like and you'll see them all right over there then the gallery application on the apple watch got a much needed overhaul it looks so much nicer in my opinion and even has some albums once you've selected your album you can zoom in or out of the pictures by using the crown or you can go ahead and just scroll through them so one of the coolest and most exciting features on the apple watch is you can control your iphone's camera it's super duper simple to do all you do is access the main menu click on the camera app and the bam you're good to go not only that if you click on those three dots you can adjust a bunch of different settings right on your watch like setting the three second timer for example and once you click that shutter button your phone will start counting down and snap pick then you do need to adjust the modes on your phone like to video mode for example but again if you click the record button you can then go ahead stand in frame and do your thing the apple watch even doubles up as a vlogging viewfinder if you put it on your iphone like this and hit that record button you can record yourself with ease and make sure everything else stays in frame this is by far one of the coolest things i've ever done with my apple watch and you guys have definitely got to try this one out now i seriously love this simple feature and i use it every single day of my life in settings under general if you scroll down and see nightstand mode make sure to tap on that and then toggle on nightstand mode because now what happens is when you go ahead and place your apple watch on its charger or stand like this one for example this little bedside clock appears on your watch face if you click on that little icon it shows you your battery percentage and if your watch goes to sleep just tap the table and you can instantly see the time nightstand mode also works in landscape so whichever you prefer is perfect but i just love this little knocking feature to check the time at night so you may or may not know this one but because your apple watch has a microphone and a speaker you can do some pretty cool things so within the main menu if you go ahead and click the walkie-talkie app then scroll right down to the bottom here's where you can add other friends who also have apple watches so now no matter where your friends are in the entire world you can just walkie-talkie them instantly by clicking and holding down and you can of course also make and take phone calls all through your watch once again without even touching your watch if you use assistive touch you can double clench to answer or do a single clinch to hang up the phone nifty then did you know if you swipe up to control center on your apple watch and click on focus modes then select one it'll automatically change your entire phone over to that focus mode so whether it's the focus mode you use when driving or when you're going to bed you no longer need to whip your iphone out to change it over you can just do it all from your watch and as you can see there's absolutely no difference to your focus modes so i thought this was a super useful feature definitely don't forget it then don't forget i have some epic watch papers for you guys
