Apple released watchOS 10.1 last week, which delivers on some of the early promises of watchOS 10. As a result, I’ve updated my new 4th edition of Take Control of Apple Watch to version 4.1. Here’s what’s changed:
- Delayed at launch, Double Tap is now available on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2.
- NameDrop, a way to share contact information by bringing two watches together, is also now available.
- I added a new sidebar, Share Your Location via Satellite, after my watch alerted me on a hike recently.
If you bought the 4th edition—thank you!—this release is a free update. Sign in to your account at Take Control Books to download the latest version. If you’re seeing this for the first time, Take Control of Apple Watch, 4th Edition is 264 pages packed full of everything you want to know about using your Apple Watch for just $14.99.
