Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Before the iOS update I could swipe up on my watch and a screen came up with theater mode, water removal, airplane mode, etc. now after the update to iOS 17 I cannot find this screen. I need to clear water out of my watch but cannot find how to do it. Please help!
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 10
Three is no water lock icon when press digital crown, with updated new version, and no more slide up for it. It was so simple to use before now I have to take off my watch when going to water. How inconsistent is this!
Press and release quickly. Then scroll up until you see the water drop. Tap on it. Then hold the crown button in until water is released. HTH!
Your press on the side button is too long (slow). It needs one short press (almost a tap) to open Control Center.
Thank you this worked for me, only after reading yours and doing the press very quickly did it come back
The side elongated button is the correct button to press, but you have to press it light and quick once, as fast as a mouse click on your computer’s mouse. Brings up the whole Control Center list of functions. Scroll down with your finger (rolling the crown button up and down works too), Water Lock is on the bottom half of the list for me.
Hope this helps!
Oh my gosh, on vacation doing water activities, wanted to eject water. Too me forever to get correct touch on side button to not get emergency response. The Tap button not crown feature works for water lock. With repetitive tries. Great way to spend vacation, making toys work!
Thank you Apple Support forum, Again!
Hey neda2023 I saw your comment on how to get water out of your Apple Watch so I’ll tell you how to do it, First when before getting your Apple Watch wet go to the control center on the bottom of the Apple Watch, second how to turn it of soooo,spin the dial until it makes noise and gets it out I hoped that helped and if it did not sorry🙂
No problem, that's what we do here!
Same question as above !
unable to find water eject
Thank you for the prompt reply. I was able to find how to delete the water.
It does not show on my Apple Watch SE. I have to go through settings from the side button to even find mute.
Thank you. Upgrades make me crazy when the things I use get moved around. I use water lock a lot and couldn’t find that screen.
Same! So frustrating.
To remove the water lock, you now have to press and hold the crown (we used to have to turn it several times to do this).
I keep forgetting about that side button. Thank you! That worked!
iOS 17 on Apple Watch. How do you get to the screen to remove water?
