Q: Apple watch screen turns off in the middle of dictation
Not all the time but enough to be annoying my watch screen goes to sleep while I'm in the middle of a dication. When I wake it back up the whole message is gone and I have to start over. Help!

Hi
The screen should not sleep whilst a message is still being dictated (regardless of the Wake Screen settings).
If you have not yet done so, it may help to update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software:
- Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
- Update the software on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Otherwise, it may help to restart both your iPhone and your watch. Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first:
- To turn your watch off: press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider; drag it to turn off;
- To turn it on: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
