I think you are either writing half-truths here or you don't really know what you are writing about. No offense. Apparently it will only go on AW LTE. Not like you talk about AW in general here and confuse people. I will be very happy to be wrong and apologize to you. Hopefully there will be a response soon. Have a nice day.
Hello, unfortunately I don't quite understand where you are going with this. All of the features in this article are available in watchOS 8, which means they can be used by anyone who owns an Apple Watch that will be able to install watchOS 8. It doesn't matter if the watch has LTE or not, it doesn't change anything about the functions.
Good morning, maybe I was too harsh yesterday, but I tried it several times already (XS and AW4), but if I leave my iPhone somewhere and leave, for example, there is no notification on AW. It would be nice if it worked, but nothing yet. I also tried when the AW4 were connected to some Wi-Fi network - and nothing (only once so far - I'll try again). That's why I'm worried if the "Notice to forget" feature won't work only for AW LTE. Have a nice day.
Hello, try to see if you have an exception set for your residence or work on Apple Watch in the application Find device -> Notifications -> Notify about forgetting. If you tried the function at home, for example, and you had this exception set, it is possible that this was the reason why it did not work for you.
Hello, thank you for your response. Settings incl. location services is OK. I tried this feature at work and it doesn't work. And I don't have any exception set now. I would like to ask - have you tried this function by leaving the iPhone somewhere, leaving and then getting a notification on AW? Thank you.
Fix: …WILL only work on AW LTE
No response yet...
I would like to ask, however, if you have any specific experience with the "Notice to forget" function. He is interested in this topic in general, now especially the situation mentioned above - i.e. that you left, for example, an iPhone in some place, you left and then you received a notification about this on AW ?
Thank you very much in advance for your experience and for your response.
Have a nice day.
