What is water lock on apple watch?

The Water Lock feature on Apple Watch is designed to prevent accidental screen interactions when the watch is exposed to water, such as during swimming or showering. When activated, Water Lock disables the touchscreen and prevents unintentional taps or swipes.

• Activation: You activate Water Lock by swiping up from the watch face to access the Control Center and tapping the Water Lock icon (a water drop).

• Functionality: While active, the screen will not respond to touch. This is crucial for preventing unintended actions, like starting a workout or accidentally calling someone, while your watch is wet.

• Deactivation: To deactivate Water Lock and expel water from the speaker, rotate the Digital Crown. The watch will play a series of tones that vibrate the speaker, forcing water out of the openings. See Deactivating%20Water%20Lock for more information.

• Water%20Ejection: The sound and vibration during deactivation helps to remove water from the Apple Watch's speaker. Some models, like Apple Watch Series 2 and later, are designed to be water resistant, but water can still get into the speaker housing. Water%20Ejection ensures optimal sound quality after exposure to water.

• Importance: Using Water Lock is vital for maintaining the functionality of your Apple Watch, especially if you frequently swim or engage in water-based activities. Maintaining%20Functionality is key to longevity.
