Anyone who looks after children knows how fascinating an illuminated display is to a baby or toddler. When it's an interactive touchscreen that's strapped to your wrist, the intrigue
If your Apple Watch has proven a bit too attractive to little fingers and you're worried they'll unintentionally send a message, mess up your notification settings, or worse, here's a quick trick that you can use whenever their interest is piqued.
It only takes a second to perform, and with a little luck, it will make your smartwatch a little less interesting – until they get old enough to figure out how to reverse what you've done!
- Bring up the Control Center on your ?Apple Watch by pressing the Side button.
- Tap the Water Lock icon (it looks like a water droplet).
And that's it! Of course, we're improvising here by using the Water Lock feature, which is intended to be used when you're swimming (it locks the screen so you can swim without water activating it). But it works great as a quick parental lock, too, because your watch remains unresponsive to taps by tots for as long as it's enabled.
It's also easily turned off – if you know how. Simply press and hold the Digital Crown. You'll see an animation on the screen indicating that the speaker is being cleared of water after your "swim." Keep turning it until you hear the beeping tone rise in pitch, and your Apple Watch touchscreen will return to its normal responsive state.
If your little one got bored and is having a nap, just be sure to disable the Water Lock feature in another room, as it can be a bit noisy.
The above is the detailed content of Here's a Simple Parental Lock for Your Apple Watch. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
