How to Use Your iPhone to Locate a ‘Misplaced’ Apple Watch
You may have misplaced your Apple Watch somewhere in your home at times. It can be aggravating when you can’t remember where you put something. Apple is making it easier to ping the Apple Watch from the iPhone with iOS 17.
How to Ping the Apple Watch Using an iPhone
- Navigate to your iPhone’s Settings app.
- Select the Control Center.
- You will notice “More Controls” here. Tap the ‘+’ sign next to Ping My Watch.
- Swipe from the top-right corner of the screen once you’ve been added to the Control Center.
- Swipe from the bottom if you’re using an iPhone with a Home button.
- Ping My Watch by pressing the Ping My Watch button. On the watch, you will hear a beep.
- Try to find your misplaced Apple Watch by following the sound.
Note:
You must have iOS 17 public beta or developer beta installed on your iPhone. The official release of iOS 17 is likely to take place in September. You will have to wait if you do not wish to install the public/developer beta.
