Is anyone having issues where either scribble or dictate in a message will suddenly close the dictation or scribble window losing the content you enter?

Something I found out about the flashlight on the watch that is truly a "little thing" that someone might not know about: if you turn on the flashlight and turn your wrist away from you (so that the watch is pointing straight ahead of you), the flashlight gets brighter :)

I have a quick question actually on Watch OS 4 and potentially iOS 11 in general.

Previously, when I had my Apple watch (pre Watch OS4 and iPhone 7 was on iOS 10.3.3), paired to my iPhone, every time I got into my car to drive home (my iPhone 7 would connect to the bluetooth radiosat) after finishing work, my watch would give me a notification saying something like, "...10 minutes to drive home - traffic is light".

However, ever since upgrading to the iPhone 8 Plus and now that I have iOS 11 and Watch OS4 onwards, I do not get these notifications anymore?!

I'm wondering whether it's to do with the 'Do Not Disturb Whilst Driving' options in iOS 11 whereby when I have the 'When Bluetooth is connected' option ticked, within the Do Not Disturb Whilst Driving menu, the phone is not giving the watch that notification anymore, but can't be sure...!?

:confused:
 
The option for me to choose when Siri speaks has suddenly disappeared. I used to have it set to follow the silent option but now siri speaks whether it's on or not.

4.1b2 installed. There's a new WiFi button in Control Centre which is on by default. If you toggle it off, the watch connects to LTE regardless of known WiFi networks being available.

Also, when using WiFi, it now displays the network name next to the WiFi symbol.

This fixed itself already in Beta 2. Also Siri seems slightly quicker to me, but could be placebo.

Also, if you've got Theater/Cinema mode on, turning on the Flashlight will default to red instead of white.

I am on WatchOS 4 & iOS 11.0.2 & I have this same question. I do not have the Do not disturb setting on.

Question for everyone: when you go into Settings > General > About is there an IMEI listed? Or can someone just show all of the things in there

Obviously you can redact your personal information in the screenshot

Thanks for this, I never noticed this before but like another member mentioned it's in 4. Pretty cool, this will come in handy.

Is the stand notification bug fixed in the latest 4.1 beta? Since it stopped working around 4.0b4 on my series 0, it has never worked again. I even bought a new series 3 and set up as new watch and stand reminders refuse to work. It stopped working on 4.0 release for another friend as well.

Thanks
