How do I turn off the water lock on my Apple Watch without crown?

Answered by Robert Dupre

To turn off the water lock on your Apple Watch without using the crown, you can follow these steps:

1. Activate Control Center: When your watch face or an app is visible, touch and hold the bottom of the display. Wait for Control Center to show up, and then swipe up from the bottom.

2. Find the Water Lock button: In Control Center, look for the Water Lock button. It looks like a water droplet icon.

3. Tap the Water Lock button: Once you locate the Water Lock button, simply tap on it to turn off the water lock feature on your Apple Watch.

By following these steps, you should be able to disable the water lock on your Apple Watch without using the crown.

In my personal experience, I have found the water lock feature on the Apple Watch to be quite useful during activities such as swimming or when exposed to water. It helps prevent accidental taps on the screen and ensures the device remains water-resistant. However, turning off the water lock is essential once you are done with water-related activities to resume regular functionality.

Remember, the water lock feature is designed to protect your Apple Watch from water damage, so it’s important to keep it enabled when you’re in water. Once you’re out of the water, you can disable it to regain full access to your watch’s functions.

In summary, to turn off the water lock on your Apple Watch without using the crown, access Control Center, locate the Water Lock button, and tap on it. This will disable the water lock and allow you to use your Apple Watch as usual.
