Many blind people, as I just found out, may not be aware that you can use Touch Typing to enter your Apple Watch Passcode (since Watch OS 10), rather than double-tapping each key individually. This surprised me. But when you are on the passcode screen, just rotate the rotor to find "typing style" and just like on iOS, you can adjust that to "touch typing." It may just not be obvious to people that on this screen is a standard keyboard so they never check it.
@Tamasg Yep, this is new in Watch OS 10. I was extatic let me tell you. Absolutely giddy.
@Brynify aaaah that's really good to know! I updated the post to mention that, I think since I got my new Series 9 I figured this has been in the OS for a bit but being on a 5 meant that I was just left out of it in general. The fact that it works on older models too though is even nicer about it, quite unlike Apple in some way.
@Tamasg Hi just tried unlocking my Watch using touch typing, cool thanks for the tip
@jaybird110127 @Tamasg Love touch typing so much! It's a bit trickier on the watch since the keyboard is so tiny, but even so, I still prefer it over standard typing.
@Tamasg man, apple should really work on its documentation and feature discoverability. Very grateful for that information.
@jakobrosin @Tamasg I kinda wish we could have keypad-based T9 entry like that. Newer watches get a small keyboard.
@jakobrosin @Tamasg Qwerty is available on the new watches, but I think I would do better with T9 on something this small.
