Yes, the little old lady is back again. I get it, I really do. Why get a newer phone when the one you have is just fine?? Yes, been there, done that. But eventually I move on to a later model – mainly because I ask my daughter how to do something and she gives me that sigh of hers and says, “Come on, mom, remember how you used to say look it up, that’s how you learn?” Don’t you just love it when they throw these things back at you?
Be that as it may, many times folks think that because they don’t have the newest edition of whatever, they cannot do things they would like to do, but don’t want to spend the money to do them.
Fear not. If you have not upgraded to Watch 10 or later, there is still hope! Below is how to interact with the digital crown and side button with Watch 9 and later.
Press or turn your Digital Dial:
- Press to see your watch face or your Home Screen
- Double-click to return to your last app
- Press and hold to use Siri
- Turn to Zoom, scroll, or adjust what is on your screen
Press your Side Button:
- Press to show or hide your Dock
- Press and hold to use your Emergency SOS
- Double click to use Apple Play
- Press and hold to turn your watch either on or off
And there you have it! I’m always there for you because I have been there too!
