I accidentally discovered the hidden Safari browser on my Apple Watch — here’s how to do it

Surfing the web comes in handy when you're in a pinch

One of the coolest things I read about lately is Motorola’s concept bendable smartphone introduced at MWC 2024 that can be worn on your wrist. I was really impressed about the possibilities of a wrist-worn smartphone, up until a notification popped up on my Apple Watch , which subsequently led me to accidentally discovering its hidden Safari browser.

I’ll be the first to admit that smartphones are better suited for surfing the web, but I like having my options open. Browsing websites on an Apple Watch may not be as practical, mainly due to its tinier display, but it can certainly come in handy when I’m in a pinch.

I’m not saying that web surfing on a wearable needs to be a core feature available on the best smartwatches . However, I can see how others may lean on the option if given the opportunity. Here’s how to access it.

How to access the hidden Safari browser on your Apple Watch

No, there’s not a Safari app for the Apple Watch. I wish it were that easy, but it’s actually buried in the WatchOS software. I’ve tried loading up different sites to see how they load and function on my Apple Watch’s display.

For the most part it functions in a reduced capacity than what we’re all used to on our phones. Believe me, you don’t want to shop or fill out long forms with this hidden Safari browser — and for the most part — should be used strictly to browse sites and nothing more. That’s because it has trouble running certain web scripts, resulting in some page elements not loading properly. Here are some important things you should know about using the hidden Safari browser on your Apple Watch.

Scrolling: You can do this either by using swipe gestures on the screen or using the digital crown.
Page views: Sometimes it’ll load in a reader view to make it easier to see, but there’s an option for web view for the full experience.
Navigation : The URL bar that loads at the top can’t be used to type in URLs. However, there are buttons to stop and reload the page — along with returning to the previous page.
Zooming: On some pages you’ll be able to zoom by double tapping anywhere on the display. Otherwise, text passages will automatically fill out the entire width of the screen.
Multitasking: If you exit the Safari browser, it should remain in memory and be accessible by double pressing the digital crown to get into the recent apps menu.

1. Send yourself the desired URL

How to access the hidden Safari browser on your Apple Watch.

On your Apple Watch, you will need to send the URL to yourself by opening the Messages app , tapping the compose button , choosing yourself as the contact, and then typing the URL by using the on-screen keyboard or Siri voice dictation. Once you have the URL, tap the giant send button .

2. Launch the hidden Safari browser

Once you’ve sent the URL to yourself, you’ll get a notification where you can instantly jump into the message. If not, simply open the Message app and tap on the preview window of the URL you sent. A new page should load on top of the Messages app. In certain instances, the browser will default to the Reader view, but you can change it to Web View by clicking the URL bar at the top.

3. Mail app can also launch Safari browser

Alternatively, you can also access the Safari browser through links in the Mail app . When you click on them, a new page will overlay the mail app with the appropriate link.

Smartwatches like the Apple Watch aren’t meant to replace our smartphones. They’re extensions that let us access some of the most commonly used functions on our phones, like the way they discreetly show notifications.

This hidden Safari browser can be useful when you’re in a dire situation. While I was able to basically get to checkout on Motorola’s website for one of its phones, I really don’t recommend using it for this purpose — but rather — the option to quickly browse a webpage.

How to Get Safari Like Web Browser on Apple Watch

Want to browse the internet on your Apple Watch but can’t find Safari in the list of apps? You aren’t alone. Apple Watch doesn’t include a Safari web browser that you can use freely. So what’s the solution? All you need to do is get a third-party Safari-like web browser app on your Apple Watch. Useful when you don’t have an iPhone on you like when you are on a run, in the gym, or in the pool.

You need to take the help of an app known as Parrity . It’s a web browser that can be used on iPhone and Apple Watch both. First, install the Parrity app on your iPhone from the App Store.

Once installed, open the Watch app on your iPhone. Scroll down to the apps section and tap on the Install button next to the Parrity app. The app will be installed on your Apple Watch.

Now, open the Parrity web browser on your Apple Watch (it should be in the list of apps) and you are ready to explore the world of the internet on your Apple Watch. Tap on the Globe icon in the app to open the address bar. Then, tap on the address bar.

You will get options to enter the website URLs. You can enter it using voice typing or handwriting mode. The third option is to use your iPhone to type the text. Hit the Go button. Once a webpage opens, use the Digital Crown or swipe up and down to navigate around the webpage.

Of course, since the screen space is quite small, the experience isn’t as great as one would have on an iPhone or a laptop. Nevertheless, the app works great and can come in handy when you want to browse something on your Apple Watch.

You can also use the following workarounds to browse the internet on your Apple Watch:

Send the link you want to open on your Apple Watch via the Messages or the Mail app to make it available on your Apple Watch. Then, click on the link and it should open in the hidden browser on your Apple Watch. Don’t get excited because you cannot manually enter links in the hidden browser of your Apple Watch.
Use Siri to open popular sites like Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. Activate Siri and then say the website name. Once the web results show up, scroll down and tap on Open web page.

How to use apple watch's hidden web browser: surf the web from your wrist.

Apple Watch has access to a web browser, but the company doesn't tell you how to find it or the three ways to start surfing from your wrist.

A lesser-known Apple Watch feature allows surfing the web and even using search engines. Despite being so small, Apple's wearable is powerful enough to include a web browser — though with no dedicated app, it’s only accessible indirectly. While reading on such a tiny screen isn't really ideal, it can be quite handy when wearing an Apple Watch with cellular capability and if your iPhone isn't as easily accessible.

There are at least three easy ways to open the hidden Apple Watch browser : using Siri, from Messages, and from Mail. The trick is to get a link to appear on the screen. After a Siri search, a list of web results will be shown, and tapping any of the links from the list will open the browser. In some cases, the browser defaults to Reader mode. If this happens, touching the website address at the top and then ' Web View ' will show the page more like it appears on the iPhone. Back, Forward, and Reload buttons are also revealed by tapping the address bar.

More Ways To Open Apple Watch's Browser

In addition to using Siri, Apple Watch's hidden web browser can also be opened through Messages and Mail. Tapping a link from an email or from a message opens the page in the Apple Watch browser. From there, users can read the contents of the link as they would normally (albeit on a very small screen).

As a workaround for deeper searches, a batch of links can also be sent to serve as starting pages, such as Bing, DuckDuckGo, or other search engines. Google's search engine doesn't work, though, as the button that launches the search is replaced with an ' X ' to clear the text if desired. And, unfortunately, there is no way to proceed after entering keywords. It's also possible to directly type a link on the watch using Messages and, after sending, users can tap on that link to open it on the Apple Watch.

Is There A Safari-Like App For Apple Watch?

To date, Apple has not released an official Safari app for the Apple Watch, nor are there dedicated apps for other major browsers such as Chrome. It’s easy to understand why — browsing on the tiny device, while it might be convenient in a pinch, would come with serious limitations to the experience. It's also worth noting the Apple Watch did not have a built-in full QWERTY keyboard until the Series 7 release, which would make typing a search query difficult. A Safari app would likely fall far short of Apple’s high standards, and the company isn’t one for releasing half-baked products.

There are a few third-party browser apps, but the selection is limited and some are not that well rated. Parrity appears to be the most popular third-party browser for the Apple Watch, but even it has a fair share of issues. At the time of publication, Parrity has a 3.8-star rating and hasn't been updated in a long time. While the built-in browser can be tricky to access, it will likely be the most reliable solution and can take advantage of features that third-party developers might not be able to.

You Can Also Watch YouTube On An Apple Watch

While the web browser on the Apple Watch is limited in its functionality, the good news is that Apple Watch users can now watch YouTube right on their wrist . There's still no official YouTube app available, but a third-party app called WatchTube enables users to watch YouTube videos. The handy little app is actually quite feature-packed. It not only lets users search for YouTube videos, but also enables liking and subscribing. In addition, it displays recommendations and includes a library, complete with watch history, likes, and channel subscriptions.

The app even supports closed captions, although they're likely to be too small to be readable on the Apple Watch's tiny display. On the App Store listing page , the developer notes that it's also added support for opening WatchTube from other applications. This means that if an Apple Watch user were to tap on a YouTube link in an app like Messages , the video might open and play in the WatchTube app.

How to Browse the Internet on Apple Watch Through watchOS 5's WebKit Integration

With watchOS 5, Apple has added support for WebKit, which is designed to allow you to view content from the web right on your wrist, something that's entirely new to the Apple Watch.

There's no full web browser so you're not going to see a Safari app for Apple Watch anytime soon, but you can now click on and open web links in apps like Mail and Messages.

WebKit in Messages

If someone sends you a link to your Apple Watch in the Messages app, you can tap on it to open up a little mini web browser right in the Messages app.

WebKit in Mail

Just like Messages, if you get an email with a web link in it, you can open it up using the Mail app. You can also view HTML emails on the Apple Watch for the first time thanks to the WebKit integration.

Using Google and Other Websites on Apple Watch

As we mentioned earlier, there's no built-in Safari app on the Apple Watch for browsing the web, but you can cheat. Here's how:

From your iPhone or Mac, send yourself an iMessage with a link to Google.com (or any other search engine).
On the Apple Watch, open up the Messages app.
Tap on your name, and then tap on the Google.com link that you sent yourself.
Wait for the Google site to load on the Apple Watch.
Tap on the search field.
Speak or spell out whatever you want to search for.
Tap the search button.

You can load all kinds of websites on the Apple Watch, from Wikipedia to restaurant sites for finding menus, to airline check-in sites to websites like MacRumors.com. It's essentially a full browser that's been miniaturized for the wrist.

Some content will not load on the Apple Watch. You can't watch YouTube videos, for example, nor will other types of video content load. Complicated websites with a lot of content, such as news sites, can take awhile to load or can refuse to load all together, so simple browsing is best on the Apple Watch.

Where possible, the little Apple Watch browser will use Reader Mode for text heavy websites, so you will see simple, easy-to-view sites with no ads. Mobile optimized sites work the best on the Apple Watch.

For browsing the web on the Apple Watch, you will always need to use the search cheat because Apple doesn't allow access to the URL bar. You can tap it, but there's no way to enter a web address.

WebKit Gestures

WebKit on Apple Watch supports several gestures, which are outlined below.

Use the Digital Crown or a finger on the screen to scroll.
Double tap to zoom in and double tap again to zoom out.
Long press to access options for Back, Forward, Reload, and Reader Mode.
Swipe to move forwards or backwards through different sites.
Tap a text field to speak or spell out text.

How to Clear Website Data on Apple Watch

Being able to browse the web on the Apple Watch through Mail and Messages means that your Apple Watch is storing some website data. You can delete all of this data in the Settings app. Here's how:

Open the Settings app on Apple Watch.
Choose General.
Scroll down to Website Data.
Select "Clear Website Data."

Using this option will remove all website cookies, credentials, and browsing data. It does not appear that Apple Watch stores any browsing history in a viewable format, so there's no option to clear just history.

Availability

According to Apple, WebKit integration is limited to Apple Watch Series 3 models. WebKit and websites will not load on the Apple Watch Series 1 and Series 2 models.

This looks like something intended only for consistency between different platforms of iMessages or so. Even then, doesn't the watch need to be paired to a phone anyways?

With Handoff, users can effortlessly transfer their browsing sessions from the Apple Watch to the iPhone and vice versa, enabling them to continue their web activities without interruption.

The process of utilizing Handoff with Safari on the Apple Watch is intuitive and streamlined.

There’s a secret way to browse the web from your Apple Watch

It is possible—barely.

By David Nield | Published Feb 15, 2022 2:00 PM EST

Have a look through the apps on your Apple Watch and you won’t find the Safari web browser. This seems like a reasonable choice considering the small size of the screen and the limited input options.

But if you need to get a webpage up on your smartwatch, know that it is possible. There’s a hidden browser app already on the watch, and you’ll also find a couple of third-party options available to install.

A warning, though—You’ll definitely come up against limitations and the experience is nowhere as good as it is on a phone or a laptop.

Using the built-in Apple Watch browser

You can’t launch the web browser built into the Apple Watch from the standard grid or list of apps. Instead, you’ll have to access it by opening up a link from another smartwatch app. You can use the Mail and Messages apps for this, and all you have to do is send yourself an email or message containing the URL that you want to visit.

This might seem like a long-winded way of getting online—and it is, really. But just in case you ever need it, you can make things easier by emailing yourself a list with the websites you regularly need access to, for example.

Another way of getting to a website is by using Siri on your Apple Watch. Say “Siri, go to…” followed by the URL you want to visit. A list of web results will appear—just tap Open Page underneath the link you want to open it. This works well for sites with simple URLs that can be easily spoken out, like apple.com or google.com.

When it comes to entering text into websites, you can use the usual methods available on your watch, including voice dictation, the scribble handwriting feature, and the on-screen keyboard. It’s not ideal for entering large amounts of text, but it’ll do if you need to search for a few keywords, for example.

Bear in mind that not all websites will load properly (or even at all) on such a tiny screen, and it can be difficult navigating around menus and pop-up dialogs. In some cases, the built-in browser will switch to a simpler view, like the Reader View in Safari on the desktop, so you’ll just get the text and nothing else. Tap on the URL at the top to switch between these views.

You can also navigate backward and forward by tapping on the address bar. Other gestures you can take advantage of are using the Digital Crown or a finger on the screen to scroll, and double-tapping on the screen to zoom in and out. To clear all the collected browsing data, open Settings and choose General , Website Data , and Clear Website Data .

Using third-party programs

The built-in web browser on the Apple Watch is probably your best bet when it comes to loading up webpages, as Apple has access to parts of the smartwatch’s code that third-party apps can’t get to. Nevertheless, if you want a more fully-fledged experience, you’ve got options.

[Related: How to navigate your Apple Watch with hand gestures using AssistiveTouch ]

First up is the free Parrity app, which actually uses a connected iPhone to load and render pages before transferring the results over to your Apple Watch. You can still interact with pages on your wrist, enter new URLs, and even go back on your browsing history, but your iPhone will always need to be around for anything to happen.

Then there’s µBrowser , which will set you back $1. This works entirely independently on the watch and does a very decent job of rendering websites, albeit with some issues (support for multiple fonts is rather limited, for example). You can search the web, enter URLs, and go back to pages that you’ve recently visited.

How to use the hidden Apple Watch web browser to browse the web

Apple Watch supports viewing web content on your wrist, and in this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use the hidden watchOS browser to visit any website you like.

How it works

Apple Watch doesn’t have a visible Safari browser. Therefore, you won’t find it in your app list. However, Apple’s WebKit engine is integrated into watchOS, making it possible to use the internet on your wrist.

So, how do you access the web if there is no Safari browser?

How to visit websites on your Apple Watch

Open the Messages or Mail app on your iPhone and send yourself the link you want to access on your Apple Watch. This also works if someone has already sent you a text or email with a website URL.
Press the Digital Crown to see all your apps. From here, open the Messages or Mail app.
Tap the link , and it will open that web page.
When you’re done, hit Close to exit web browsing and return to the Mail or Messages app.

Controls while browsing on Apple Watch

You can interact with the web view using these gestures:

Scroll: Move your finger on the screen or rotate the Digital Crown.
Zoom: Double-tap to zoom in, and double-tap again to zoom out.
Follow hyperlinks: Tap a web link to load the underlying webpage.
Enter text: Tap a text field to type, speak, or spell out some text.
Back or Forward: Swipe left/right from the edge of the screen.
Normal Web View or Reader View: Tap the URL bar at the top.
Reload page: Tap the URL bar at the top.

Note: Apple made the right choice by defaulting to Safari Reader. In case you haven’t yet tried Reader Mode in Safari , it strips articles of annoying ads, navigation bars, custom stylesheets, and other distractions, leaving you with pure text and images.

Can I type in the URL bar?

Once a web page opens, you’ll see an address bar at the top which shows the site URL you’re currently on. Sadly, tapping that URL box doesn’t pop open the keyboard, and you can’t enter any other site name or address manually. However, you can tap any link on the current webpage, and it will work. For example, if iDownloadBlog is open on your Apple Watch, you can tap a link you see there (say for a post), and it will open.

How to open Google on Apple Watch

Just send yourself the google.com link and open it on your watch. A mobile-optimized Google search page will show up. You can type the search query in the search box with the QWERTY keyboard (on Series 7 & later), scribble or dictate your query, as well as select the desired item from the Google homepage.

Browsing the web with Google on Apple Watch

WebKit integration on Apple Watch: What’s the use?

Implementing support for WebKit is a monumental achievement. The Cupertino technology giant doesn’t feel like browsing the web on such a tiny screen would make sense—that’s why Apple Watch doesn’t ship with Safari. That said, it’s possible for your Apple Watch to render web content, albeit in a limited fashion. For example, you can check out a restaurant menu or read a quick news article without pulling an iPhone out of your pocket.

In other words, the lack of manual input significantly reduces the web browsing ability on your Apple smartwatch. However, if there are links that you must open on your wrist for any reason, then you can send yourself the link via messages or email and visit it later. Besides that, if someone sends you a link in iMessage or email, the WebKit integration allows you to have a quick look from your watch, and for a deeper experience, you can always visit that link later on your iPhone.

Old Apple Watch?

Series 2 , Series 1 , and Series 0 models aren’t supported. Attempting to open an attached link on an unsupported model yields an error message saying, “This link isn’t viewable on Apple Watch, but you can open it on your iPhone.”

Web pages not loading on Apple Watch

Don’t expect the watch to render all websites properly. In our experience, webpages with complex layouts with embedded widgets and JavaScript code might get stuck, resulting in a blank page or refusing to load at all. Still, it’s nice knowing that limited web content support is there should you ever need it.

Third-party browsers for Apple Watch

Apple doesn’t offer Safari on Apple Watch, but you can use a third-party app to access the web. Here are two mini browsers you can try:

µBrowser : $0.99
Parrity : Free

Use the hidden Safari browser on the Apple Watch and add other browsers

When you press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch, you won't find the Safari app in the watchOS app list. This might make you think that there is no way to surf the internet on the watch. But on the contrary, there is already a browser that you may need at some point, and you can download a standalone app for browsing the Internet on the Apple Watch, and using the guide below, you can open web pages on the Apple Watch in a secret Safari browser already built into the watchOS system, you may need to use Internet on the Apple Watch at one time.

How to Browse the Internet Using Safari on Apple Watch

Although there is no visible browser on the Apple Watch, if you receive a link in Messages or Mail, you can tap to open it and view it on the watchOS version's Safari browser. Here's how to open any specific page:

Use your iPhone or Apple Watch to send the requested link to yourself or a loved one via message or email.

Open the Messages or Mail app on your Apple Watch.

Within the Messages or Mail app, go to the conversation or email that was just sent.

Click on the link, it will open in the secret Safari browser.

To send a link to yourself, open the Messages app on the iPhone, press the compose button, and in the recipients section, type the phone number or email, then type or paste the desired link and press send.

You can also type the site address directly into a message conversation using the full keyboard on the Apple Watch 7, and on other models, use dictation and say something like “iphoneislam.com.”

Please note that if you use the Scribble feature to enter a website address, the 'o' for 'com' is often recorded as '0' (zero). So, use your iPhone's watch, dictation, or iPhone keyboard to send the link.

Important points for browsing the Internet on the Apple Watch

The browsing experience on the Apple Watch is not as feature-rich as on the iPhone, and you should keep these points in mind to get the most out of them:

scroll : Use one finger or rotate the Digital Crown to scroll up or down on a web page. Similar to the iPhone, on the Apple Watch, tapping the top of the screen usually takes you to the top of the current page, but doing the same with a webpage open does nothing.

Opening new pages: You can click on the nested links on the webpage to continue visiting the new links.

Use the search box on the page: If the webpage has a search box, you can click it and use typing or dictation, as normal.

Enter a new address manually: You cannot click the address bar to enter a new address, you need to use only the links on the page itself.

Navigating between web pages: To go back or forward, swipe left or right from the edge of the watch screen.

Zoom web page: You cannot use two fingers to zoom in or out on the page like on the iPhone. But you can double-tap to zoom in and out, and once you've zoomed in on a web page, drag it with one finger to move around.

Reload the page: Click on the address bar at the top and click on Reload Page, this screen also displays the option to go to the previous page.

Change display: Tap the address bar at the top and choose Reader View or Web View, not every site offers these options.

multitasking: You can click the digital crown to use other apps, the web page will remain open unless you close the Messages app on the watch or Mail.

Pictures: The web browser on your Apple Watch might not display some images or take a long time to load them. Additionally, clicking on the image may not open it in full view mode.

lines: Likewise, many types of custom fonts may not be displayed, only standard fonts will be used. As a result, a familiar website may look different on an Apple Watch than on an iPhone or Mac.

How to clear web history on Apple Watch

An Apple Watch needs a companion iPhone to sync things like watch screenshots or voice memos you take. But the Apple Watch browsing history does not sync or merge with the Safari history of the paired iPhone.

Here's how to delete Apple Watch cookies, credentials, and other browsing data from the Apple Watch itself:

Open Settings on the Apple Watch.

Click General.

Scroll down and tap Location Data.

Click Clear website data and confirm by clicking Clear data.

Why doesn't the Apple Watch have a standard web browser?

Apple does not display the Safari icon on the Apple Watch. The main reasons for this are the small screen and its battery.

Compared to the smallest smartphone, the largest Watch 7 still has a small screen. For this reason, it is not convenient to type the address of the site and view web pages on it. Additionally, due to other watchOS limitations, it is not possible to fill out forms, upload files, and other online interactions from the watchOS browser.

The Apple Watch also has a small battery that is barely enough for a full day with heavy use of existing apps and features, and if a regular web browser is added, viewing feature-rich websites will drain the battery faster. And if watchOS tries to reduce the battery-draining rich content of a web page, it will provide a poor experience for users.

Browsers for Apple Watch other than Safari

The developers do not have much interest or incentives in creating a browser for the small screen of the watch, however, if you need a web browser on the Apple Watch, you can use Parrity Browser which is a free browser for the Apple Watch that you can try.

Will Apple add a full Safari browser in the future?

It's hard to say the answer, at least for now, as Apple doesn't even allow you to listen to music on the watch's internal speakers. You must connect them to your AirPods or other Bluetooth earbuds to play the music added to your Apple Watch. All this to extend battery life and keep you going all day. So, the chances of adding a full web browser where people can access sites like YouTube seems very unlikely.

But if battery technology reaches a point of strength where it can allow it in its small form, we might get a full Safari app on the Apple Watch.

Key Takeaways

To browse the web on your Apple Watch, you ask Siri to open a website by saying their name followed by “.com” like google.com. It will display search results, and tapping “Open Page” under the correct link launches the hidden Safari browser.
Additionally, there are third-party browsing apps for Apple Watch, such as Browser, Parrity, and Squint AI

Surprisingly, there is no app for Apple’s default browser, Safari, in the whole bunch of apps available for the Apple Watch. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t browse the internet on Apple Watch. In fact, you can do more than surf the net; let me show you how.

How to open a website on your Apple Watch

While there is no Safari app icon, Apple Watch secretly boasts a Safari browser that comes alive when you click a link received in the Mail or Message app.

Open the mail/message with the link on your Apple Watch.
Tap the URL . The secret Safari browser will open up.
Tap Close once you are finished reading.

How to open a website on your Apple Watch

Don’t have a URL in the message or Mail app? No worries, try these tricks.

Open Safari browser on Apple Watch using Siri

Press the Digital Crown to invoke Siri .
Ask Siri to open the website, for instance, iGeeksBlog.com .
In the results, scroll down and tap Open Page .

Note : Always say .com after the website name, or Siri will only show generic search results and not the website.

Access webpages on Apple Watch via the Message or Mail app

The idea is to self send the desired URL to click it and invoke the hidden Apple Watch Safari browser.

Open the Message/Mail app on Apple Watch.
Create a new message or mail .
Type the URL using scribble, Apple Watch 7’s QWERTY keyboard, or any third-party keyboard app.
Tap the microphone button and dictate the URL. While you can leave out the WWW. part, remember to add .com in the end; otherwise, the trick won’t work.
Once done, Send the message/mail.
Now, open the message/mail you just sent yourself and tap the URL to visit the link.

Access webpages on Apple Watch via Messages or Mail app

I know this one is a tad bit complex, but you gotta do what you gotta do. However, I do have a trick that’ll make things much easier.

Create a message/mail on your iPhone/Mac with all your most frequently visited websites and send it yourself. And when you need to view any of them, open the message/mail on your Apple Watch and tap the link.

How to search the web on your Apple Watch

One has to put so much effort into opening a website. How can you think about doing a Google search on that small screen? Because, if I can help it, nothing would be out of bounds for my readers. And if you want to Google something on my Apple Watch, here’s what you need to do.

Use any of the methods mentioned above to open Google.com .
Tap the search bar once Google’s website is loaded.
Tap the microphone button to dictate the query, or
Scribble or type in (Apple Watch 7)
Tap Search .
Select the search query from the options presented.

How to search the web on your Apple Watch

And that’s how it’s done. While I am sharing tricks, let me introduce you to some more hacks to improve your Apple Watch browsing experience.

Tricks to browse a website on Safari browser on Apple Watch

Scroll up or down – You can either use your finger or the Digital Crown to move up and down the webpage.
Search the website – Only possible if the website boasts a search box. Tap the search box, type/scribble/speak your query, and tap Search.
Visit interlinks – If the page has interlinks (underlined blue text), tap to visit that link.
Reload Page
Previous Page

Note : You can also switch between the current and previous page by swiping right or left from the screen’s edge.

Zoom in or out – Double-tap anywhere on the screen to zoom in/out. Navigate the zoomed-in page by dragging your finger.
Switch to reader view – Tap the address bar from the top and if a reader view is available for the website, select the option. You can return to the web view by following the same steps.

Clear the browsing history on Apple Watch

Now, isn’t this funny? Apple doesn’t have a default browser app in the Apple Watch, but it has a setting allowing you to clear your browsing history. Well, that’s because the apps on your Apple Watch connect to the internet and leave behind cookies, cache, credentials, history, etc.

This step helps you get rid of that data to save storage and speed up the watch. Notably, this will not affect the usage of any app.

Go to Apple Watch Settings .
Tap General .
Scroll and select Website Data .
Tap Clear Website Data .
Select Clear Data to confirm the deletion.

Restrictions for using Safari browser on Apple Watch

While we have figured out a way to surf the web on Apple Watch, there are some limitations. The first and foremost is that you’ll be unable to use the Message or Mail app (depending on where you’ve to click the link from) while using the Safari browser.

Plus, you can’t open multiple tabs, and some images and fonts won’t be displayed properly. However, that doesn’t mean you’ll be deprived of a smooth browser experience because if not Safari, there are third-party browsing apps that you can use.

Best web browser apps for Apple Watch

1. µbrowser.

How to browse the web on an Apple Watch

How to browse the web on an Apple Watch: While Apple does offer a hidden browser, a new mini web browser is bringing the web to your wrist.

Apple doesn’t include its Safari browser on the Apple Watch for obvious reasons. It’s doesn’t believe you can achieve a worthy World Wide Web experience on a 45mm display.

There is a hidden browser of sorts that’s a product of Apple’s own WebKit API, introduced in watchOS 5. That comes into play when you receive a URL link within the Messages and Mail apps. Tap those links and you will see a functional web page where you can tap links and browse through websites, using the Digital Crown to scroll through pages.

This also applies with links that appear within Siri search results. MacRumors also points out a little hack where you can send yourself a link to Google via iMessages, perform the web search there and browse whatever you want.

Download the µBrowser for Apple Watch

While there is no Safari, where there’s a will, there’s the intrepid developer community. The µBrowser is described as a Mini Browser on your Watch and arrived on the App Store last week to great acclaim, with a 4.8 rating out of 5 so far. It only costs $0.99/£0.99 too.

You can download the µBrowser app for Apple Watch here .

It enables you to type in web addresses directly on the display or enter search terms to enjoy a micro browsing experience. The companion iPhone app also enables you to set up bookmarks to your favourite sites to avoid having to type them in.

You will need watchOS 8 installed on your Apple Watch and iOS 15 on your iPhone in order to use this app. It should work nicely on all of phones compatible with the latest update, although the larger displays available in the newer generations will naturally be best.

There are some issues, naturally, with readability on home websites, while 9to5Mac reports that images can take a while to launch, if they launch at all. Users do have to confirm they want to browse to that page after it launches.

Apple Watches come preloaded with a library of apps, including Activity, which tracks your exercise goals ; mindfulness app Breathe; a Calendar that you can track events, holidays, and meetings on, and more.

These preloaded apps are great for getting started, but there are also thousands of third-party apps you can add to your Apple Watch — just like you do on your iPhone.

If you want to make your Apple Watch a little more personalized, here's how to add apps to it through the App Store or the Watch app.

How to add apps to your Apple Watch through the App Store

1. Press your Apple Watch's Digital Crown to open the Apps screen.

2. Tap on the App Store icon, and if prompted, tap "Continue" on the privacy warning. Here, you'll find all the most popular Apple Watch apps. Turn the Digital Crown to browse the curated or featured apps list, or use the search feature to quickly find the app you want to download.

3. Select the app you want to download and on the app page, tap the blue "Get" button. For paid apps, the blue button will feature the cost of the app.

4. Double-click the side button to finalize the download and install the app to your Apple Watch. In some cases, you might also need to enter your Apple Watch or Apple ID password.

How to find and install apps on your apple watch.

Once you get the hang of installing apps on your new Apple Watch it's no big deal, but if you've just peeled the protective film off you're probably left a bit puzzled as to how your new watch works. Let's take a look at how to get apps from your iPhone to your watch.

Related: How to Add Third Party Complications to your Apple Watch

If you're smartphone veteran, be it on iPhone or Android doesn't matter, you're used to the routine. Open the app store application for your device, find the app you want, click "Install" and you're done.

When it comes to installing applications on your Apple Watch, however, things are a little trickier than simply selecting the application in the App Store. Let's take a look at how to find apps and install them on your watch.

Not all iOS applications are inherently compatible with the Apple Watch platform (Watch OS) but there are certainly lots of developers on board with the watch. You can find apps for your watch via two methods. First, you can look for them via the traditional method in the App Store application on your iOS device or by browsing application listings on the Apple web site.

When you're browsing apps via the App Store application any app that has a companion Apple Watch/Watch OS app will have a designation beneath it, "Offers Apple Watch App" like so.

By combining search terms like "fitness tracker" and "apple watch" you'll quickly turn up lists of apps with the "Offers Apple Watch App" designation.

It's far more expedient, however, to search from the actual Apple Watch application as it has a built-in App Store interface fine tuned just for Watch OS apps.

If you open the Apple Watch app and tap the "Featured" star in the bottom navigation panel, you'll launch the watch-centric app store with suggested apps and app genres just like the full-fledged app store.

We've been meaning to see if there is an app for our favorite to-do list software, Todoist, so let's search for that now with the search feature.

Great! There is a watch app! Now here's where it gets a little tricky. The "Open" button would make it seem like we already have the watch app installed, yes? If you tap open, however, it opens the Todoist app on our iPhone and has nothing, really, to do with the Watch OS app. In order to get the app on our watch we need to install it manually from the Apple Watch app. Let's look at how to do that now.

Continuing with the example above of the Todoist watch app, let's look at the Apple Watch application and how to install the Watch OS app. To do so we need to open up the Apple Watch app and scroll down the main screen past the default entries like "App Layout" and "General" down into the list of Watch OS applications until we find the name of the application whose Watch OS companion app we wish to install.

Select the application.

In the application submenu you'll always find the entry "Show App on Apple Watch", and often find "Show in Glances" (although not every application offers support for the Glances view on the Apple Watch).

At minimum you need to toggle "Show App on Apple Watch" to install the application and, if you wish, you can add it to the list of Glances by toggling "Show in Glances".

Once it finishes installing you'll find the application on your Apple Watch by tapping on the digital crown of your watch and selecting the app from the displayed applications, as seen above. Once the app is launched you can use the crown and/or on screen touch navigation, depending on what the developer has enabled; in the final screenshot above you can see us accessing our Todoist project list, for example.

One final tweak you may wish to enable is to toggle on automatic installation so that as you install applications on your iPhone that have companion Apple Watch apps then those apps will be automatically installed on the watch.

To do so simply open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and select "General".

Then under the General settings select "App Install".

Toggle "Automatic App Install" on and in the future all companion apps will be automatically installed on the Apple Watch with no intervention on your behalf.

How to Install and Dual Boot Ubuntu With Windows

Setting up a dual boot is less daunting than it sounds, and it’s perfect for trying out Ubuntu.

Quick Links

Before you begin, preparing a bootable ubuntu usb, booting into the usb, setting up and installing ubuntu, key takeaways.

Dual booting Ubuntu alongside Windows gives you the best of both worlds.
You'll need a flash drive which is larger than 2GB to make the USB installer.
Make sure to back up all important files before attempting to install Ubuntu.

If you've ever wanted to make the switch to Linux, but are reluctant to ditch Windows at the same time, dual booting is a great option. Learn how you can install Ubuntu on your PC without completely removing Windows.

Before you get started, you'll need a couple of things ready:

At least 25GB of free storage on the PC that you are installing Ubuntu on.
A flash drive or any other form of removable media that's larger than 2GB.
The latest Ubuntu disk image .

Before you try installing Ubuntu, make sure to back up any important files that you might have. Any mistakes made during the following steps could result in permanent data loss, so exercise caution.

First, you'll need to create a bootable drive from where your PC can boot the Ubuntu disk image from. You can do so by following these steps:

These steps will completely erase your USB drive, so make sure to back up any important files first.

Download and install the latest version of Rufus .
Plug-in your USB drive.
Open Rufus and select your USB drive under the Device drop-down menu.
Click START to begin the process.

Now that you have created your bootable USB drive, you can boot into Ubuntu.

Shut down your computer while holding the Shift key.
You'll now need to access the boot menu. The method to do this varies depending on your computer's manufacturer. Usually, you'll need to press a key like F12 , F10 , Esc , or Del during the startup process. This guide from wikiHow may help.
When the computer boots from the flash drive, you'll see a menu prompting you to either Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu . If you want to get a feel for how Ubuntu works, select the first option, otherwise go for the second.

Your computer should now boot into Ubuntu, and the installer should automatically open on startup.

Follow the on-screen instructions to choose your language, keyboard layout, and Wi-Fi settings. It is optional to connect to a network, but it is highly recommended to do so.
You'll see a slider that allows you to allocate disk space between Windows and Ubuntu. Use the slider to adjust the partition sizes according to your preference. As you adjust the slider, you'll see the allocated space for each operating system change.

Once everything is installed, you'll need to restart your computer. When it turns back on, you'll see a boot menu where you can choose to use Windows or Ubuntu. Dual booting might mess up your Windows timezone, but you can fix it by following our guide .

Dual-booting Ubuntu is a smart choice for anyone interested in trying out Linux without giving up their Windows setup entirely. It lets you have both operating systems on your computer, giving you the best of both worlds.

With Ubuntu, you get access to lots of free software and a helpful community. And you can still use Windows for anything you need that's not available on Linux.

How To Stream Music To Your Apple Watch Using Spotify

B eing able to listen to your favorite songs while you're out and about is a great perk. In most cases, you should be able to do this through your mobile phone, provided you have the necessary audio-streaming apps installed. However, in case your smartphone runs out of battery and you don't have a power bank handy, the less bulky option is to stream music through your smartwatch. One of the options that offers this capability is the Apple Watch.

Provided that you own Bluetooth headphones or speakers and have an Apple Watch Series 3 or newer, you should be able to stream songs with or without your iPhone . Just make sure that you properly pair your listening device to your timepiece. Follow your earphones' or speakers' instructions on entering pairing mode and then go to Settings on your Apple Watch to find your output gadget from the list of detected Bluetooth devices. In addition, make sure all your gadgets are fully charged to ensure a successful connection process.

Once your listening device has been paired, the next step is to ensure that you have your preferred music service installed on your Apple Watch. You can use Apple's own Music app or try other popular third-party audio-streaming services like Spotify.

How To Install Spotify On The Apple Watch

To gain access to Spotify on your Apple Watch, the easiest way to install the app is through an iPhone, if you have one. Here's how :

On your iPhone, launch the Watch app. If you've never paired an Apple Watch to your mobile phone before, you may be prompted to do so.
From the bottom navigation bar, select the My Watch tab.
Go to the Available Apps section.
Look for the Spotify app and tap the Install button next to it.

If you don't have an iPhone, you can install Spotify through the App Store on your Apple Watch:

Press the Digital Crown, then tap the App Store app that appears on the home screen.
Hit Search to find the Spotify app, either by using the watch's Scribble or Dictation feature. Alternatively, you can also try scrolling down the app list to see if it appears straight off.
Tap the Spotify app and hit the Get button to install.
When prompted, double-click the side button below the digital Crown to confirm the app installation.

You'll know if the Spotify app is successfully installed on your Apple Watch when it appears with your other apps after you press the Digital Crown.

How To Start Playing Spotify Songs On The Apple Watch

Once you have the Spotify app installed on your Apple Watch, you should be able to control Spotify on other devices — like your mobile phone, TV, or tablet — from your timepiece. You should also be able to use Siri to and control music and podcast playback using voice commands.

However, in order to actually stream music, podcasts, and audiobooks from the Spotify platform directly through your Apple Watch, you'll need to be a Spotify Premium subscriber. If you happen to have a free account, consider upgrading to one of the available Spotify Premium plans .

In addition, as previously mentioned, you also have to own an Apple Watch Series 3 or newer that is running on at least watchOS 7.0 as well as Bluetooth headphones that have been paired to the watch. If you intend to play Spotify content directly from your watch without your phone, you'll also require stable WiFi, or a cellular connection if your Apple Watch comes with a data plan.

How To Control Spotify Playback On The Apple Watch

If you are an experienced Spotify user, some of the symbols that appear on the Apple Watch app should be familiar to you, such as the play, pause, and skip to previous or next track icons. There's also a heart icon you can tap (or untap) to add (or remove) the currently playing track to your library — and into the Liked Songs playlist — and a phone icon to change the output device for your playback.

Below is a list of other gestures you can do on the Spotify App for the Apple Watch:

Turn the Digital Crown to modify volume levels.
From the main playback screen, swipe from the left toward the right to get to the Home screen. Here, you should see all your playlists, including the one currently playing. When you open a playlist, there should be additional shuffle and repeat buttons you can tap to control how the playlist's songs are played.
From the main screen, swipe from the right toward the left to access your Spotify library and recently played tracks. If you have any downloaded content, they can also be found on this page.

How To Download Spotify Music And Podcasts To The Apple Watch

An important Spotify Premium perk that extends to the Apple Watch is the ability to download content for offline listening. Depending on your watch model, you may be able to download around ten hours of songs and podcasts while you still have a reliable internet connection and then listen to them later regardless of connectivity.

To transfer Spotify music to your Apple Watch, you'll need to create a new playlist and put all the tracks you want into it since you won't be able to download specific songs or albums or any playlist curated by Spotify. Podcast episodes can be downloaded individually, but if you don't own an iPhone, placing these audio tracks into a new playlist as well is recommended.

To download Spotify content for your Apple Watch via an iPhone:

Launch the Spotify mobile app and go to a playlist or podcast you'd like to port over to your Apple Watch.
Tap the three-dot icon.
Select Download to Apple Watch.
To hasten the transfer process, keep Spotify open on the watch and download via WiFi instead of Bluetooth. To ensure this, temporarily turn off Bluetooth from the Settings app, not the Control Center.

You can also download Spotify song or podcast playlists directly through your watch:

Launch Spotify on your Apple Watch.
Swipe from the left toward the right to access Spotify's Home screen.
Tap a playlist you want to make available offline.
Hit the download (downward arrow) button.

All Spotify tracks downloaded to the watch should appear in the Downloads folder, which you can access by navigating to the Home screen. Do note that there's a limit of 100 downloads per playlist. Furthermore, downloading Spotify audiobooks for offline listening is currently not doable on the Apple Watch.
