Apple Watch has become an integral part of our lives, assisting us in staying connected, tracking our activities, and managing our health. However, like any smart device, the battery life of your Apple Watch requires attention.
To help you stay on top of your watch’s battery status, Apple has introduced a feature that sends battery alerts directly to your paired iPhone. This convenient notification ensures you’re never caught off guard by a dead watch. This guide walks you through the simple steps to set up and receive Apple Watch battery alerts on your iPhone.
1. Ensure Compatibility
Before you proceed, make sure your devices are compatible. This feature is available for Apple Watches running watchOS 8 or later and iPhones with iOS 15 or later.
2. Connect Your Devices
Ensure that your Apple Watch and iPhone are connected and paired via Bluetooth. This connection is essential for seamless communication between the devices.
3. Open the Watch App
On your iPhone, open the “Watch” app. This app allows you to manage various settings and configurations for your Apple Watch.
4. Access Notifications Settings
Scroll down and tap on “Notifications.” Here, you can customize the notification settings for your Apple Watch.
5. Find Battery
Scroll down on the Notifications page until you find the “Battery” section. Tap on it to access the battery notification settings.
6: Enable Alerts
Toggle on the switch next to “Battery Percentage” to enable battery alerts for your Apple Watch. This will ensure you receive notifications on your iPhone when your watch’s battery reaches certain levels.
7. Choose Battery Levels
You can customize at which battery levels you want to receive alerts. By default, Apple offers two options: 10% and 20%. You can select one or both based on your preference.
8. Exit and Save
Once you’ve enabled the alerts and chosen the desired battery levels, exit the settings. Your changes will be automatically saved.
9. Test the Alerts
To ensure everything is set up correctly, you can intentionally let your Apple Watch battery drop to the selected percentage levels. When it reaches those levels, your iPhone will notify you about your watch’s battery status.
With these simple steps, you’ll have Apple Watch battery alerts set up on your iPhone, providing timely updates on your watch’s battery life.
This feature ensures that you can plan your day without worrying about running out of power on your wrist. Stay connected, stay informed, and enjoy the seamless integration of your Apple devices.
