Apple released a new version of watchOS 9 system upgrade for users of Apple Watch 4 follow-up models. One of the most interesting upgrade highlights for Apple fans this time is that after updating the system to the latest version, it brings a “low power consumption mode”. When the Apple Watch smartwatch cannot be charged for a long time, switching to the “low power consumption mode” can save the power consumption of the watch to prolong the use time, and allow the retention of “activity record” tracking and “” Fall detection” and other functions.

However, certain sensors, background heart rate measurement, and “follow-up display” functions will also be turned off or limited.

Regarding the steps to enable “Low Power Mode” after upgrading to watchOS 9 on subsequent models of Apple Watch 4, and some functions that are affected and disabled, Apple has also provided further detailed instructions on its official website recently. A total of 12 main functions will be disabled or affected.

The highlights of the use of “Low Power Mode” are summarized as follows:

Steps for manually enabling/disabling “Low Power Mode”

Swipe up from the bottom of the Apple Watch screen to enter the Control Center interface, click the “Battery Percentage” button, and manually set the “Low Power Mode” function button to on. Then swipe down to further choose to “turn on”, turn off, or set the number of days for the turn on time (options provide 1/2/3 days).

When the Apple Watch is in Doze mode, a yellow circle icon will appear at the top of the watch face. At this point, the “Battery Percentage” button will turn yellow.

In addition, when the power of the Apple Watch drops to 10%, the screen will automatically pop up a reminder whether to turn on the “low power consumption mode”.

When the Apple Watch is charged to 80%, the system will automatically turn off Doze Mode. The user can choose whether to turn on the “Low Power Mode” manually.

“Low Power Mode” will turn off the disabled 7 functions

Enabling “Low Power Mode” on Apple Watch will turn off the disabled 5 functions, including: Always On screen display, abnormal heart rhythm/high or low heart rate notification, background heart rate measurement, background blood oxygen measurement, start exercise reminder .

In addition, when the Apple Watch is enabled with “Low Power Mode” and the iPhone is not nearby, two functions will be affected, including: turning off Wi-Fi or data network connection, and turning off missed calls and notifications.

5 functions that will be affected by “Low Power Mode”

In addition, after the Apple Watch enables “low power consumption mode”, the five functions that will be affected include: making calls may take longer, background applications are updated less frequently, updates are less frequent, and Siri needs to be updated. Responses to voice commands, some animations, and swipes can become less fluid during prolonged processing.
