Hi all, For the past three days, I’ve been waking up to find that my Apple Watch battery is severely drained. When I went to bed last night, it was at 100%, and when I woke up this morning, it was at 56%. Before this week, it would generally be right around 92% when I woke up. The other

I’ve had an Apple Watch since the first watch was released in april 2015, and have only ever been required to unlock the watch once after putting it on, either by using the passcode on the watch, or by unlocking the iPhone to which the watch is paired. Unless you take the watch off for some

Your Apple Watch is unlocked in advance. This is either done through entering a passcode on your watch or unlocking your iPhone if you have that feature enable. This suffices for authentication. No further authentication is needed at time of transaction. Just hold your watch up to the terminal

You don’t need a pass word or authentication. I think the reason for that is that When you put the watch on you need to enter the password, so that takes care of the authorization. > On Mar 7, 2024, at 6:06 AM, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi all, > > Related to our disc

Hi all, Related to our discussion about Apple Pay, I’m curious about how it works on the watch. It seems like it would be super convenient to just hold your wrist up to the reader, except that you can’t authenticate with face or Touch ID. So do you then have to enter your password every time?
