watchOS 2.2 lets you pair multiple Apple Watches with your iPhone
Posted on 03/22/2016 2:00:23 AM PDT by Swordmaker
Apple shipped iOS 9.3 Monday afternoon, less than an hour after the media event that introduced the newest version of Apple's mobile operating system. New features include Night Shift, updated Apple News, CareKit, and other improvements. The update can be found in Software Update on your iOS device, or in iTunes
watchOS 2.2 Rolls Out with Multi-watch Pairing
Apple released watchOS 2.2 on Monday to go along with iOS 9.3. The update added support for pairing multiple watches with a single iPhone, and improved Maps support.
Maps now offers one-tap directions to get to home and work, as well as a search button and a Nearby button to help find restaurants, shopping, transportation, health-related facilities, and more. The update also includes bug fixes and performance improvements.
Adding support for multiple watches the issue that's clearly plaguing so many Apple Watch owners: How to easily switch between the multiple Apple Watch models they own. TO be fair, if someone wants a Sport model for outdoor activity and a stainless steel model for work, this does address the otherwise painful process of unpairing one watch and restoring the other from backup.
watchOS 2.2 is available as a free update in the Watch app after updating your iPhone to iOS 9.3. You can install the update by tapping General > Software Update.

I just updated my iPhone and am trying to figure out this new night lighting feature.
Includes Verizon Wi-Fi calling!
Swipe up from bottom of phone. The icon that looks like a crecent moon in the sun.
You have a manual option, or a scheduled one. You can also do it from settings: display &a brightness.
Works great.
Thanx for that link. Weird, I have 9.3 installed but I do not have the night shift icon on my control panel. Looks like I am visiting the ApplAe Store this morning....
Not there. :( Only four icons on bottom of CP. Will have Apple explain this in five hours....
Phone or pad?
iPhone 5c
I just updated on old iPad 3 to 9.3, and I don’t get night shift on it either.
My only conclusion is, that’s it’s a hardware issue. Probably in the LED assembly and GPU.
Older tech. It doesn’t do AirDrop either. Never has.
This vulnerability was really hard to accomplish. It was not something your average hacker had the equipment to be able to do:
"Messages sent via iMessage are vulnerable to interception by a fake Apple server. Using such a server, the researchers repeatedly sent a single photo between iOS devices, subtly making minor changes to the photo each time and checking to see how that affected the encrypted version. After thousands of tries, they finally deduced the 128-bit encryption key.The team's original attack require targeted devices to not be updated to the most recent version of iOS (by implication, any version of iOS 9), but a modified version of the attack could affect even iPhones fully patched through yesterday.
The vulnerability was closed with yesterday's update to iOS 9.3.
I dropped by the Apple Store today and they told me the 5c has an older 32 bit processor and does not support night shift. However, the watches have been reduced in price and I made an impulse buy and bought the Sporr for $299...
My 5c does AirDrop, thank G*d!
