We’re all going crazy these days, aren’t we? I guess we check the Apple website several times to see if we decide to buy this or that other device. While we fill and empty the cart by simulating what we would spend, we upgrade the iPhone and Apple Watch to the new versions. iOS 16 and watchOS 9, which brought a ton of features. We have already explained what they are and how to properly install new versions. But now is the time to understand some of these new functions. For example, low power mode affects it differently depending on the application or function selected. Let’s see.
From the Apple Watch series 4 model to the new one presented a few days ago, watchOS 9 incorporates a new mode consisting of deactivating or limiting certain functions and sensors while the low consumption mode is activated. For example, always-on screen and background heart rate monitoring are disabled. Other functions only work on demand and others continue to work normally. But what interests us is to know these functions that cease to operate normally.
Low Power Mode activates when the battery percentage of an Apple Watchh cae al 10%. We can also activate it manually. It turns off when an Apple Watch is 80% charged. But if we activated it manually, it can last for days.
Apple wants us to be clear how does this new mod work and for this it tells us, through new information, which functions are disabled and which are working at half speed, so to speak.
When Low Power Mode is active on the Apple Watch, there are a number of functions that are disabled and not working:
- –screen always on
- opinion of heart rate for irregular rhythmhigh low heart rate.
- measures of heart rate in the background.
- measures of oxygen bleeding
- Recall start of training
However, some functions fall into this sphere of deactivation when the iPhone is not near the clock:
- Wi-Fi and Cellular Connections
- Incoming phone calls and notifications
And on other occasions, or rather, other applications affects less rapidly:
- Call it may take longer
- Refresh the app in the background occurs less frequently
- complications are updated less frequently
- Siri may take longer to process a request
- Some animations and scrolling may appear less fluid
And on the other hand, for the other functions, nothing happens and they continue to function as if nothing had happened. This is the case, for example, of the detection of falls which For the safety is still active.
