Apple Watch users can now take use of a true power-saving mode in the latest watchOS 9 update, which will help them extend the battery life of their watches as needed.
watchOS 9 features
The Control centre or the settings menu can be used to manually enable it. When there is only 10% battery life left, the user is also prompted. When it hits 80% on the charger, it automatically shuts off.
The more energy-demanding features, such as AoD, heart rate notifications, arrhythmia tracking, heart rate and blood oxygen readings, are disabled in the battery-saving mode. Reminders to work out are disabled as well.
Surprisingly, the apple watch will disable Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity if there isn’t an iPhone plugged into it close by. It is also not possible to receive incoming calls or notifications. The system will undoubtedly re-enable data and Wi-Fi if you need a particular app that uses such services. Additionally, if the watch remains within the phone’s connection range, it will provide notifications every hour rather than every half-hour.
Animations and navigation will not feel as fluid overall since the watch’s overall performance will be lowered in the new battery-saving mode.
