How so? Its a theatre mask. That 'symbol' has been around for centuries, if not millennia.
Images for theatre mask
Maybe they are working to fix it. Half the time the audio would cut out for me when it switched from saying the time to the little sound afterwards.
Right. I was thinking of using this feature in cinema, that's why I thought this icon is inappropriate. My bad.
Which is what it will primarily be used for. I guess I was just saying that the 'carnival' doesn't make sense. The universal symbol for 'theatre' is the mask.
I still think that cinema mode would be better name that theatre. Not that it's that important, but still...
Is it only for the UK named like this? Because the changelog says "Theatre mode".
I'm from Sweden and have my iPhone and watch set to English and it's called cinema mode for me.
So probably it's a last minute change and the changelog hasn't been updated.
How does 3.2 work on Series 0 so far? Is it any faster than the previous version?
Since I'm tracking my sleep with the watch, I'm gonna be using the theatre mode during sleep so my watch doesn't light up when moving my hands...
Good call. I was thinking about this mode for work in the shop or the yard.
I have series 2 and it's fast just like before. Can't really tell if there is a difference.
It's going to be interesting to see battery life tomorrow.
Haven't been here in ages. if anyone here is a developer and can send up these iWatch OS suggestions - please do:
Please make iWatch to send notification when the iWatch is fully charged to iPhone so the user doesn't have to guess when it's ready.
Please for Hermes watch faces, make a small center complication that allows the user to decide what to put there. I find I do not use the Hermes watch face much because it only allows for date/time complication and I'd prefer music.
Please make the control panel moon icon (presumably for sleep) to do everything: silence, no wake screen, no bluetooth etc. NO RF signals. Better yet - when any sleep app is detected to be in use = auto sleep / do not disturb mode so it only goes back to normal after you push something to stop sleeping.
Please allow user to set primary music source - playlist instead of apple music. Currently I always, ALWAYS, annoyingly have to take it off Apple Music and put it on my playlist.
Please make the general wake screen have the same choice options on the iWatch as on the iPhone watch app. The iWatch only has one choice to enable/disable whereas the iPhone app has 2 choices.

I like this suggestion. However, I think that Apple won't include it, because their idea is that you use the watch during the day and charge it during the night, so such notification won't be useful.
Me too, haha.
I know that some people do this, but that's not the Apple's intention.
watchOS 3.2 also brings SiriKit to the Apple Watch, allowing customers to ask Siri to do things like send messages, send payments, book a ride, log a workout, make a call, or search through photos. SiriKit has been available on iOS devices since the release of iOS 10, but is new to the Apple Watch.MY WATCH IS 3.1.3 IF YOU PRESS THE CROWN IN AND ASK SIRI IT WILL SEND A TEXT ,MAKE A CALL ,PLAY MUSIC OPEN APPS ,SO QUOTE EBOVE NOT QUITE TRUE ONLY SOME OF IT. MAC RUMORS COME ON RESEARCH PROPERLY .
