Sifus’,

Problem 1:
I am encountering a small problem. Bought this watch for receiving notifications of whatsapp while phone charging. Happily working with no noti until my boss called me up saying why not replying. Found out hp a lot of messages but not turn up on watch.

Problem 2:
Switch the night tingy on phone but expect messages and calls to be on watch. Turn out it disabled everything as well. Imagine waking up at 6.00 am and your boss fuming at you.

My 1st apple watch. Apart from being a watch, it is not that smart. Well, me bodo is another factor. Gahahahahaha

i believe you can download whatsapp like app on your watch. Download from app store available in the watch & find for whatsapp. Try & see if it can help for your problem 1 or not. I just came across this app & i did not need to use it, but may be able to help you.

Apple Watch Now Supports Standalone Spotify Streaming

Spotify has started rolling out support for standalone streaming through the Spotify app for Apple Watch. With the new feature, Spotify users can listen to music or podcasts from Spotify over WiFi or cellular without having to have an iPhone nearby.

There has been a Spotify Apple Watch app available for the past few years, but the standalone streaming option is new. Spotify has been testing the feature for a few months, and prior to now, listening to Spotify required an ‌iPhone‌ even on Apple Watch models with standalone cellular connections.

Spotify Music can be streamed directly from the Apple Watch to Bluetooth headphones, which is ideal in situations where the ‌iPhone‌ isn't needed such as exercising.

The feature continues to be available in a beta capacity and is not available for all users at this time, but Spotify has confirmed that it is "rolling out" as of today. German site Macerkopf.de first spotted the change, which was confirmed by TechCrunch.

"We're focused on developing experiences that enable users to listen to Spotify wherever and whenever they want - regardless of the device or platform. After an initial testing period, we are now rolling out streaming capabilities for Spotify on the Apple Watch," a spokesperson told TechCrunch.

It may take some time for the new standalone streaming option to be available to all Apple Watch owners. The Spotify app can be downloaded from the App Store for free.

Sorry for the late reply, i rarely check lowyat.

I went to Machine 2 days later after the incident and they gave me a free replacement and a new receipt.  (new warranty starting date).

They said I'm the first issue they encounter with Apple Watch SE.

Now happily been using the Watch for.. 3 weeks now?

I noticed that out of 5 whatsapp messages that comes in, only 1 or 2 gets to the watch.

Often missed out messages from my boss as i thought no messages.

Turned up, godlike amount of messages on my phone but none on my watch.

Guys, sorry, newbie question. If I have a Cellular Apple Watch, does that mean that my iPhone’s Bluetooth does not need to be on in order for me to get notifications on my Watch?

(I could probably google it but I’m a bit too lazy), hehe...

may i know whats the concern to turn on iPhone's bluetooth? ohmy.gif

Save some battery maybe? I read the more we minimize the unused apps and functions the better the battery can last.

i doubt bluetooth connection can save you a significant amount of battery. typically screen & sensors is the one that drains battery.

is the apple watch SE uses sapphire crystal?

i dont think so, got this review extract:

"Apple tells us that the Series 6 aluminum version uses Ion-X glass, while the stainless steel and titanium versions use a sapphire crystal. All models have a ceramic and sapphire crystal back."

Hi!

I'm fairly new to the apple ecosystem and I'm thinking of picking up an apple watch SE. I'm looking to buy it from switch.

just asking whether or not its worth it to buy the Switch Protection Plan ? Its rm 239 for the apple watch.

Or is it just a fluke and just buying the apple watch on itself a better choice.

Thanks!
*
to me, its really a personal preference. Its like an insurance, good to have incase anything goes wrong with the watch, you don't need to fork out more cash to repair it. However, if you are fairly good in taking care of your gadgets & want to save some money upfront now, you may consider skipping the plan. The choice is yours! bruce.gif

hi guys, i'm thinking of buying iw se, but havent decided whether to get cellular or just gps without cellular.

those buying with cellular, is it worth it? or u seldomly use the function?
*
i would recommend that you check out cellular plans & telco that supports the iWatch first. If the additional monthly commitment is something you are willing to take up before considering purchasing the cellular model. i know someone who purchase the cellular model, but not using it at all due to the monthly commitment charges by telco.

Bought it with the Protection Plan.

Seeing how I take care of my devices. It's probably for the best to get it with protection. Especially on how I wear watches on my right hand eventhough I'm not left handed. Destined to get banged up.

alright sound like a good decision for you! rclxs0.gif
