People are only just realising their Apple Watch has some life-changing hidden features.

A smartwatch is a very useful device. It helps you keep fit, track your sleep, lets you know when you’ve got an email waiting and can even be loaded with games to occupy you during brief moments of downtime.

Not everyone has the time and patience to wade through every feature that a device such as the Apple Watch. However, some features might be worth digging through the menus for.

TikTok blogger Techgirljen posted a video revealing a few surprising features of the Apple Watch that users might want to check out right away.

Walkie-Talkie

Do you yearn to feel like the protagonist in a spy movie? If so, then the Walkie-Talkie feature might be for you. By enabling this feature, anyone in your contacts list who also has an Apple Watch can also turn it on and enable two-way communication just like a walkie-talkie.

To enable this mode, just tap the side button and scroll down to the bottom of the menu that appears. On the bottom right next to the icon that looks like an ear is the walkie-talkie icon. Tap it to enable.


Water Release

Its every tech enthusiast's nightmare. An expensive tech gadget falls into the sink, or the strap breaks and it drops into a puddle. All that moisture will eventually damage the delicate electronics inside. Thankfully, the Apple Watch comes with a surprising solution. It has an ‘Eject Water’ function.

Tap the side button and select the water drop icon. Then press and hold the Crown and the watch will vibrate to eject any water stuck inside the watch.


Text Size

Smartwatch screens are pretty small. If you are having trouble reading the text, Apple Watch has an option to change the text size to make it easier to read.

Find my phone

You swear your iPhone was right here a second ago. Where did it go? Did you leave it in the car? Did it fall down the back of the couch? This simple function lets your Apple Watch transmit a signal that makes your iPhone vibrate, light up and make sound. Never lose track of your phone again.


Theater mode

You’re watching a tense scene in a horror movie in a darkened theater, when someone next to you moves just enough to make their watch light up. In the darkness its like a flash bang grenade. The moment is ruined.

Thankfully by enabling Theater mode on your Apple Watch, you can prevent your watch from lighting up. It also helpfully sets your iPhone and Watch to silent. So you can enjoy your movie in peace.
