Apple Watch can now work as a fully functional TV remote

Apple Watch is getting a new feature that will let you miss your never-available TV remote ever. With the WatchOS 11, Apple is bringing a full feel of a physical Siri Remote. Previously, Apple had a Remote app for the WatchOS and iOS that was able to handle basic functions like play/pause a video, swiping to navigate the tvOS interface, and going back to the previous menu.

WatchOS 11 Remote app upgrades

The Remote app can perform multiple functions that have been mentioned above. Apart from that, there are a series of new features like you turn the Digital Crown to adjust the volume, press and hold the Digital Crown of the watch to trigger Siri on your Apple TV. You can also tap the three dot menu to mute/unmute audio, modify captions, and even turn the power of the TV on/off.

These features are going to kill the need of the remote which we anyway never find when we need it the most. In addition, these new features will strengthen the Apple Ecosystem as now more devices support each other.

Other WatchOS 11 features

Apart from that, the WatchOS 11 also gives the users the ability to adjust the activity ring goals for every day of a particular week. Apart from that, the health metric data for the night will be shared by the users regularly along with notifying them about any major changes. For athletes, the WatchOS 11 brings a Training Load that will allow users to see their workout intensity’s impact on their body. Photos Face is one of the most hyped-up features of the WatchOS 11 that allows you to customize the watch face, font, and more.
