Swiping between watch faces is back ! (I’m unreasonably excited about this I know).

FYI you have to (on the watch, not your phone) go into settings>clock to enable this.

Anyone else with any tips for this update in general, please share them. Would love this community to be active and supportive.

Aaaaaaah! Amazing. I too am stupidly excited that I can swipe to change watch faces again. Bonkers decision to disable that in the first place. What the bloody hell were they thinking?!

[-] buran@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I never liked it because I didn’t want to accidentally change the face, which happened a few times.

I was always surprised that there was no way to disable the feature.

But now we can both be happy. It’s a shame that the simple solution of making it a toggleable option took this long.

Thank you for telling where to find that setting. I tried to find it intuitively but failed miserably.

My wife and I were waiting for this. We each have specific faces for specific tasks. Wish you could set faces by geolocation for home or work.

[-] tartan@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You can tie a specific watch face to a Focus. And you can automatically start a focus by geolocation from Shortcuts/Automation.

WatchOS 10.2 is also needed for enabling Contact Key Verification in iOS 17.2.

You need to enable CKV yourself it seems.

Settings -> Apple ID -> scroll right down to the bottom -> contact key verification.
