Apple Watch comes with several features that make the everyday life of the user a bit easy. Taptic Time is one among tons of features offered by Apple on the smartwatch, which was introduced with watchOS 6 as a part of the Sounds & Haptics section.
When the Taptic Time feature is enabled, it is possible to know the time without having to look at the device. Once the feature is activated, the variant length of haptic taps notifies the user about the current time. The user also has the option to select the patterns of the distinct haptic feedback, from hourly long taps to Morse code taps.
The feature is offered in three options — Digits, Terse, and Morse Code. When the Digits option is selected, it offers a long tap for every 10 hours, short quick taps for every subsequent hour, long taps for every 10 minutes, and short quick taps for every subsequent minute. The Terse selection offers long taps for every five hours, and short but quick taps for the remaining hours followed by a break along with long taps for every quarter-hour. On the other hand, selecting Morse Code will tap each digit of time in the morse code.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to quickly and easily enable the Taptic Time feature on your Apple Watch running the watchOS 6 or newer.
