‘I wear an Apple Watch every single day, and I never knew you could do this.’
Tom's Guide fitness editor Jane McGuire recounts a small but handy discovery about the [[Apple Watch]] that even long-time users might miss: pressing and holding the Find My Phone button on the watch not only triggers a ringing alert on your paired [[iPhone]] but also causes its flashlight to flash, making a misplaced device easier to spot. McGuire — who relies on the watch daily for closing activity rings, making calls, checking email and using features such as [[Workout Buddy]] while running — explains how to access the control and highlights that owners of newer hardware (for example a [[Apple Watch Series 9]] paired with an [[iPhone 15]] or later) can also use Precision Finding for distance‑based locating. The tip is presented as a simple, practical habit for scatterbrained users and a reminder that wearables still hide helpful surprises.
