Deep Dive – Trade in your physical wallet for the Wallet app

*** begin quote ***

Of course, this depends a lot on your Apple Watch model and usage (the Ultra has a bigger battery while the SE has a smaller one), but on average, you can expect your Apple Watch to last through your waking hours.

*** end quote ***

I like to use the Apple Watch for my sleep score.  It’s handy for time too.

BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), the battery is my problem.

I can have EITHER my sleep score OR my reminders to move around … … but the battery isn’t big enough to do both with a recharge Argh!

So you best be aware of that limitation or have multiple chargers for the recharging.

I guess that was not part of Apple’s use case!

Get Help in an Emergency with a Medical ID on iPhone

While a medical alert bracelet or a medical ID card in your wallet may help in an emergency, there’s one more tool you can use to ensure you receive the prompt care you need—your iPhone! Even if you keep your iPhone locked with a passcode or Face ID, it’s still possible to have your Medical ID visible on your smartphone so that bystanders and emergency personnel can assist you in a medical emergency. Let’s get started learning how to set up the Medical ID on iPhone.

Not every “survival” situation happens in Death Valley, on the ski slopes, or in a national park.  

BUT, wherever they occur, first responders need to know who and what they are dealing with.

I have this “medical id” set up on my iphone. Suggest you should too. And, recommend it to anyone you know.

During my time on the First Aid squad, there were many times when this would have save time and prevented confusion. Often, people couldn’t communicate key info and we were stuck. Just had to scoop ‘n’ dash and let the ER sort stuff out.

I think this feature, along with what3words location pinpointing app, are two of the things that EVERYONE should have on their phones. I’m sure Android has a similar feature.

FWIW YMMV faiwwypfi (Free Advice Is Worth What You Pay For It!)
