In fact, the ad below explains just that. An ad that Apple launched alongside the iPhone 12, which has been with us for some time now. <strong>With iOS 17, the utility of the ping feature is reversed<\/strong>, allowing us to find a lost Apple Watch using the iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"iPhone 12   Haystack  Apple ad\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5gOWhZH-DGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new feature, simply called &#8220;Ping Apple Watch,&#8221; is available in the Control Center of the iPhone. Although it is disabled by default, we can easily activate it <strong>by opening the Settings app, entering <em>Control Center<\/em>, and tapping the small green &#8220;+&#8221; next to <em>Ping Apple Watch<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once activated, all we need to do is swipe down from the top right corner to enter the Control Center and tap the corresponding button. <strong>As long as our phone and watch are within Bluetooth range<\/strong> and connected, the watch will emit a clear sound. In the first beta, the sound does not repeat, it plays only once. However, we can make it ring multiple times by simply pressing repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/viernes-16-jun-2023-161500-copia-1024x491.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-235522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/viernes-16-jun-2023-161500-copia-1024x491.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/viernes-16-jun-2023-161500-copia-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/viernes-16-jun-2023-161500-copia-768x368.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/viernes-16-jun-2023-161500-copia-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/viernes-16-jun-2023-161500-copia-150x72.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/viernes-16-jun-2023-161500-copia.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of which, let&#8217;s remember that to locate an Apple Watch at greater distances than the Bluetooth range, we need to use the Find My app. This involves the watch&#8217;s connectivity, Apple&#8217;s Find My network, and other variables. The system, however, allows for finding a watch in virtually any part of the world. Once located, the ability to make it ring greatly facilitates precise tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Undoubtedly, <strong>iOS 17 is full of small details<\/strong>. Some may go unnoticed compared to more prominent features such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/customize-display-standby-iphone-ios-17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">StandBy smart display<\/a> function, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-create-animated-sticker-ios-17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stickers in Messages<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-customize-poster-contact-ios-17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Posters<\/a>, but they are truly useful.
