10 things you didn’t know an Apple watch could do – You’ll be amazed! (With Pics)

8. The Glances Control Center

In a feature that is similar to those found in current versions of the iPhone and the iPad, there are certain portions of the phone that can be controlled without you needing to open any app. Swiping up on the face of the watch opens a so-called “Control Center” that has four different icons. You can, on this screen, put your Apple Watch into “airplane mode,” you can activate and deactivate the watch’s “do not disturb” function, and you can silence the watch. Swiping right on this screen allows you to put the Apple Watch into “Power Reserve” mode. Swipe right again to view your heart rate. Users can also, through the control center, locate their iPhones in certain situations when the phone has been misplaced.
