I. Introduction.
The Apple Watch Series 8 (Apple Watch S8) is a powerful smartwatch with an always-on display that provides users with a convenient information viewing experience. However, some users may want to turn off this feature to save battery life or for other personal needs. This article will introduce in detail how to turn off the always-on screen function of the Apple Watch Series 8, and provide relevant operation guidance and precautions.
Second, understand the always-on function.
The always-on screen function means that when the watch is asleep, the screen remains lit up, displaying basic information such as time, date, and battery level. This way, users don't need to tap the screen or press a button to view this information. While this feature is very convenient for many users, turning off the always-on screen feature may be a better option for some users who are concerned about battery life or want to reduce screen wear.
3. Steps to turn off the always-on function.
Turn on the watch: First, make sure your Apple Watch Series 8 has been paired with your iPhone and is in working order.
Go to Settings: Find the Settings app on your watch and tap to enter.
Select "Display & Brightness": In the "Settings" menu, find the "Display & Brightness" option and tap to enter.
Turn off Always-On Screen: In Display & Brightness settings, find the Always-On screen option to turn it off. At this point, the watch's screen will no longer remain solid.
Fourth, the impact of turning off the always-on screen function.
When the always-on screen feature is turned off, your Apple Watch Series 8 will only light up the screen when needed, such as when you raise your wrist to view information, tap the screen, or use certain features. This will help extend battery life and reduce screen wear. However, this also means that it will no longer be so convenient to view information such as time and date while in hibernation. So, before turning this feature off, make sure you understand the possible impact.
5. Precautions.
Consider your use case: When deciding whether to turn off the always-on feature, consider your use case and needs. If you often need to check the time, date, etc., it may be more convenient to keep this feature on. And if you're more concerned about battery life or want to reduce screen wear, it may be more appropriate to turn this feature off.
Adjust other settings: After you turn off always-on screens, you may also need to adjust other settings to accommodate your new Xi. For example, you can adjust the sensitivity of the wrist lift to turn on the screen or turn on the touch to make sure you can wake the screen easily.
Check battery health regularly: Whether you turn on the always-on screen feature or not, it's a good Xi to regularly check the battery health of your Apple Watch Series 8. You can check the battery health information in the "Battery" option in "Settings". If you find that the battery performance is degraded or the charging speed is slow, please contact Apple's official support in time to repair or replace the battery.
Update your watch system: To keep your Apple Watch Series 8 in tip-top condition and get the latest features and performance optimizations, update your watch system regularly. You can check and install available system updates in the Watch app on your iPhone.
Protect personal privacy: When using the Apple Watch Series 8, please pay attention to protect personal privacy. Turning off the always-on screen feature makes it less convenient to view information, but it also reduces the risk of personal information being spied on by others. At the same time, make sure your watch passcode settings are complex enough and change them regularly for added security.
VI. Conclusions. With the above steps and precautions, you can easily turn off the always-on screen function of the Apple Watch Series 8 and adjust it according to your personal needs. Whether you choose to turn this feature on or off, make sure you understand the impact on your experience and battery life so you can make an informed decision.
