尽管Apple Watch上的数字表冠^{(Digital Crown)}抢了风头，但侧边^(Side)按钮同样重要——如果不是更重要的话。如果您了解 watchOS 设备的功能，您可以从中获得更多好处。

侧边^(Side)按钮不仅方便日常操作，例如在最近的应用程序之间切换或通过Apple Pay进行购买，而且在对设备进行故障排除或出现紧急情况时也很重要。我们将向您展示多种使用 Apple Watch侧边^(Side)按钮的方法。

打开 Apple Watch 的 Dock

您的Apple Watch附带一个Dock，其中显示了十个最近打开的应用程序的列表。只需^(Just)按下侧边^(Side)按钮一次，您就可以在任何地方调用它——从表盘、主屏幕^{(Home Screen)}或在应用程序中。

您还可以通过显示您最喜爱的应用程序列表来自定义Dock 。要做到这一点：

1. 打开 iPhone 上的Watch应用程序，然后轻点“我的手表”^{(My Watch)}。
2. 点击停靠。
3. 选择收藏夹^{(Select Favorites)}并添加所需的应用程序。

重新启动您的 Apple Watch

Apple 的智能手表时不时会遇到技术故障，导致其无法正常工作。解决此问题的最佳方法是重新启动设备。侧面^(Side)按钮可以帮助您 。

1. 按住侧面^(Side)按钮，直到看到电源和紧急选项屏幕。
2. 点击右上角的电源^(Power)图标。
3. ^(Drag)向右 拖动“关闭电源”滑块。^{(Power Off)}
4. 等待 30 秒。
5. 再次按住侧边^(Side)按钮，直到看到Apple标志。

注意：如果您的Apple Watch运行 watchOS 8 或更早版本，您将在按住侧边^(Side)按钮 后立即看到关机滑块。^{(Power Off)}

强制重启您的 Apple Watch

通过在硬件级别重启Apple Watch ，强制重启超越了传统重启。当您遇到冻结和崩溃导致您的 watchOS 设备无法工作时，它会很有用。再次^(Again)，侧面^(Side)按钮派上用场，但您还必须将数码表冠^{(Digital Crown)}加入其中。

1. 同时按住侧边^(Side)按钮和数码表冠^{(Digital Crown)}。
2. 等到^(Wait)屏幕关闭并出现Apple标志。这可能需要 15-20 秒。
3. 松开两个按钮。

强制退出 Apple Watch 应用程序

就像在 iPhone、iPad 和Mac上一样，当您与 Apple Watch 应用程序交互时，经常会遇到Apple Watch应用程序冻结的情况。^{(Apple Watch)}发生这种情况时，您不必总是强制重启设备。

相反，强行关闭该应用程序^{(forcibly close the app)}，它可能会在您重新启动后正常工作。为此，您必须将侧边^(Side)按钮与数码表冠^{(Digital Crown)}结合使用。

1. 按住侧边^(Side)按钮，直到您看到 Apple Watch 的电源和紧急选项屏幕。
2. 按住数码表冠^{(Digital Crown)}，直到您看到表盘。
3. 访问主屏幕^{(Home Screen)}并重新启动该应用程序。

转到 watchOS 主屏幕

如果Apple Watch上的数码表冠^{(Digital Crown)}无法使用，您仍然可以使用侧边^(Side)按钮进入主屏幕。^{(Home Screen)}但是怎么办？

1. 按^(Press)侧面^(Side)按钮打开Dock。
2. 一直滚动到底部。
3. 点击所有应用程序。

使用 Apple Pay 进行购买

假设您已经花时间在您的 Apple Watch 上设置 Apple Pay^{(set up Apple Pay on your Apple Watch)}，您可以使用侧边^(Side)按钮来支付在商店购买的商品。只是：

1. 单击侧面按钮两次。
2. 选择一张卡片或使用屏幕上的默认卡片。
3. 将手腕放在非接触式读卡器上方。

在 App 内购买时 使用Apple Pay ：

1. 选择 Apple Pay 选项。
2. 查看您的账单和运输信息。
3. 双击侧面按钮。

在动力储存模式下^{(Power Reserve Mode)}查看时间^(Time)

如果您的Apple Watch运行的是 watchOS 8 或更早版本，一项名为Power Reserve 的功能有助于延长电池寿命^{(Power Reserve helps conserve battery life)}。要调用它：

1. 打开控制中心^{(Control Center)}（从Apple Watch屏幕底部向上轻扫）。
2. 点击电池百分比^{(Battery Percentage)}指示器。
3. 将^(Drag)电池^(Battery)图标拖到右侧 。

在Power Reserve模式下，屏幕保持关闭状态，但您可以单击侧边^(Side)按钮使其显示时间。按住侧面^(Side)按钮可退出Power Reserve。

拨打紧急求救电话

在紧急情况下，紧急 SOS^{(Emergency SOS)}已内置到Apple Watch中。只需^(Just)按住侧边^(Side)按钮，直到进入电源和紧急选项屏幕，按住即可开始倒计时并拨打紧急服务。

急救人员还可以按住侧面^(Side)按钮并使用医疗^{(Medical ID)}急救卡选项来检查您的健康状况^{(check your health profile)}。

顺便问一下，你知道吗，如果你摔得很重，你的Apple Watch可以自动拨打紧急服务电话？^{(Apple Watch)}了解watchOS 跌倒检测的工作原理^{(how Fall Detection in watchOS works)}。

激活和使用指南针回溯

如果您使用运行 watchOS 9 的Apple Watch Ultra、Apple Watch SE或Apple Watch Series 6或更新机型，您可以使用名为“指南针回溯^{(Compass Backtrack)}”的功能来回溯您的脚步，避免迷路。

在您开始您的路线之前：

1. 按住侧面^(Side)按钮，直到看到电源和紧急选项屏幕。
2. 拖动^(Drag)Compass Backtrack旁边的图标。
3. 点击回溯图标。

当您准备好返回开始的位置时，请重新访问同一屏幕，点击暂停^(Pause)图标，然后选择回溯步骤^{(Retrace Steps)}。

另一种关闭警笛的方法

在Apple Watch Ultra上，您不必仅依靠操作^(Action)按钮来激活警报器。相反，按住侧面^(Side)按钮，然后拖动Siren旁边的滑块。

在手表上截图

您可以随时在Apple Watch上截取屏幕截图。只需^(Just)同时按下侧边^(Side)按钮和数码表冠^{(Digital Crown)}，屏幕截图就会出现在 iPhone 的照片^(Photos)应用中。如果那不起作用：

1. 在配对的 iOS 设备上 打开Watch应用程序。^(Watch)
2. 点击通用。
3. 打开启用屏幕截图^{(Enable Screenshots)}旁边的开关。

恢复健身锻炼

在Workout应用程序或Apple Fitness Plus中暂停锻炼后，您无需在屏幕周围轻点即可恢复锻炼。改为同时 按下数码表冠^{(Digital Crown)}和侧边按钮。^(Side)

请记住，如果您的 watchOS 设备启用了屏幕截图，按钮组合也会截取屏幕截图。

它不仅仅是一个伙伴

正如您刚刚发现的那样，Apple Watch 的侧边^(Side)按钮不仅仅是数码表冠^{(Digital Crown)}的免费按钮，因为您几乎可以随时使用它。如果您知道侧面^(Side)按钮的任何其他创意用途，请在下面的评论中分享它们。

How to Use the Apple Watch Side Button

Althоugh the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch steals the spotlight, the Side button is equаlly—if nоt more—important. You can gеt a lot morе out of а watchOS device if you know its сapabilities.

Not only is the Side button convenient for everyday actions like switching among recent apps or making purchases over Apple Pay, but it’s also vital when troubleshooting the device or during emergencies. We’ll show you multiple ways to use the Apple Watch’s Side button.

Open the Apple Watch’s Dock

Your Apple Watch comes with a Dock that displays a list of ten recently-opened apps. Just press the Side button once, and you can invoke it anywhere—from the watch face, the Home Screen, or while inside an app.

You can also customize the Dock by displaying a list of your favorite apps. To do that:

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap My Watch.
2. Tap Dock.
3. Select Favorites and add the apps you want.

Restart Your Apple Watch

Every now and again, Apple’s smartwatch will encounter technical glitches preventing it from working correctly. The best way to fix that is to restart the device. The Side button can help you with that.

1. Press and hold the Side button until you see the power and emergency options screen.
2. Tap the Power icon on the top right.
3. Drag the Power Off slider to the right.
4. Wait 30 seconds.
5. Hold the Side button again until you see the Apple logo.

Note: If your Apple Watch runs watchOS 8 or older, you’ll see the Power Off slider immediately after holding down the Side button.

Force-Restart Your Apple Watch

A force-restart goes beyond a conventional restart by rebooting the Apple Watch at the hardware level. It’s useful when you encounter freezes and crashes preventing your watchOS device from working. Again, the Side button comes in handy, but you must also throw the Digital Crown into the mix.

1. Press and hold both the Side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously.
2. Wait until the screen turns off and the Apple logo appears. That could take 15-20 seconds.
3. Release both buttons.

Force-Quit Apple Watch Apps

Like on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, it’s common to run into instances where Apple Watch apps freeze as you interact with them. When that happens, you don’t always have to force-restart the device.

Instead, forcibly close the app, and it’ll likely work after you relaunch it. You must use the Side button in combination with the Digital Crown for that.

1. Press and hold the Side button until you see your Apple Watch’s power and emergency options screen.
2. Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see the watch face.
3. Visit the Home Screen and relaunch the app.

Go to the watchOS Home Screen

If the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch fails to work, you can still get to the Home Screen using the Side button. But how?

1. Press the Side button to open the Dock.
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom.
3. Tap All apps.

Make Purchases Using Apple Pay

Assuming you’ve taken the time to set up Apple Pay on your Apple Watch, you can use the Side button to pay for purchases in a store. Just:

1. Click the Side button twice.
2. Pick a card or use the default that’s on the screen.
3. Hold your wrist over the contactless reader.

To use Apple Pay while making a purchase within an app:

1. Choose the Apple Pay option.
2. Review your billing and shipping information.
3. Double-click the Side button.

View the Time in Power Reserve Mode

If your Apple Watch runs watchOS 8 or earlier, a feature called Power Reserve helps conserve battery life. To invoke it:

1. Open the Control Center (swipe up from the bottom of the Apple Watch screen).
2. Tap the Battery Percentage indicator.
3. Drag the Battery icon to the right.

In Power Reserve mode, the screen remains off, but you can click the Side button to make it show you the time. Press and hold the Side button to get out of Power Reserve.

Dial Emergency SOS

Emergency SOS is baked right into the Apple Watch in case of an emergency. Just press and hold the Side button until you get to the power and emergency options screen, and keep holding to begin a countdown and dial emergency services.

Emergency responders can also hold the Side button and use the Medical ID option to check your health profile.

By the way, did you know that your Apple Watch can automatically dial emergency services if you have a hard fall? Learn how Fall Detection in watchOS works.

Activate and Use Compass Backtrack

If you use an Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch SE, or Apple Watch Series 6 or later running watchOS 9, you can use a feature called Compass Backtrack to retrace your steps and stop yourself from getting lost.

Before you begin your route:

1. Press and hold the Side button until you see the power and emergency options screen.
2. Drag the icon next to Compass Backtrack.
3. Tap the Backtrack icon.

When you’re ready to return to where you started, revisit the same screen, tap the Pause icon, and select Retrace Steps.

Another Way to Sound Off the Siren

On the Apple Watch Ultra, you don’t have to rely on only the Action button to activate the siren. Instead, press and hold the Side button, and then drag the slider next to Siren.

Take a Screenshot on Your Watch

You can take a screenshot on the Apple Watch whenever you want. Just press the Side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously, and the screenshot should appear within the iPhone’s Photos app. If that does not work:

1. Open the Watch app on the paired iOS device.
2. Tap General.
3. Turn on the switch next to Enable Screenshots.

Resume Your Fitness Workouts

After pausing a workout in the Workout app or in Apple Fitness Plus, you don’t have to tap around the screen to resume it. Press the Digital Crown and the Side button at the same time instead.

Keep in mind that the button combo will also take a screenshot if screenshots are enabled on your watchOS device.

It’s Not Just a Sidekick

As you just found out, the Apple Watch’s Side button isn’t just a complimentary button to the Digital Crown since you can put it to good use nearly all the time. If you know of any other creative uses for the Side button, do share them in the comments below.
