How to have personalized answers from the Apple Watch

We cannot stress enough that the Apple Watch is the perfect companion for your iPhone, thanks to its seamless synchronization. One of its standout features is the ability to create personalized responses within apps like iMessage or Mail. And guess what? We’ll even show you how it’s done with a third-party app like Telegram. So, if you’re curious to learn these handy tricks, stick around for this article.

But before we dive into the specifics of generating default messages on your Apple Watch, it’s crucial to ensure that both devices are running the latest version of their respective operating systems and that they are on the same software version. This ensures smooth compatibility and access to all the features we’re about to explore.

Default responses, a top feature

Both Mail and iMessage, as native Apple apps, provide excellent synchronization with the Apple Watch. The process of setting up default messages is quite similar in both apps, with a slight variation based on whether you’re configuring it for Mail or iMessage. Here are the general steps involved:

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Navigate to the “My Watch” tab.
3. Scroll down and select the Mail or Messages app, depending on which one you want to configure.
4. Look for the option that allows you to set default replies or quick responses. It may be labeled as “Default Replies” or “Custom Messages.”
5. Tap on the option to access the predefined message templates or create your own custom responses.
6. If there are existing default replies, you can modify them by tapping on them and making the necessary changes.
7. To add a new custom response, tap on the “+” icon or a similar option, depending on the app.
8. Enter the desired text for your custom response and save it.
9. Repeat the process to add or modify more default replies or quick responses as needed.

To further personalize your default responses on the Apple Watch, you have the option to add custom responses and make edits according to your preferences, including adding emojis and stickers. The process can be summarized in four steps:

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone and go to the “My Watch” tab.
2. Scroll down and select either the Mail or Messages app, depending on which one you want to customize.
3. Tap on the “Edit” button. This will display a list of default messages, each with a red delete button next to it in case you want to remove any of them.
4. To edit a default message, simply tap on it and make the desired changes. You can type in the response that you want your default answers to have, including emojis and stickers.
5. Once you’re satisfied with the modifications, tap “OK” to save your custom response.

With third-party apps

In addition to the native apps like Mail and Messages, it is also possible to determine default responses for third-party applications such as Telegram on your Apple Watch. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Open the Telegram app on your Apple Watch.
2. Look for the “Default Replies” section within the app.
3. Once you’re in the Default Replies section, you can follow a similar procedure as you did for the Mail and Messages apps.
4. However, please note that Telegram has a limitation where you cannot add more responses than what is provided. You will have a set number of default responses available, usually around eight options, which still offers flexibility for various situations.
5. Additionally, smart replies can be enabled, allowing you to quickly select a response from the available options, making the process of sending default replies even more efficient.

By following these steps, you can determine default responses specifically for the Telegram app on your Apple Watch. This feature provides convenience and efficiency in your communication by allowing you to quickly select predefined responses without the need for manual input.

While currently, the feature is supported by native apps like Mail, Messages, and third-party apps like Telegram, it is exciting to anticipate that more applications will adopt this functionality in the future. As the ecosystem evolves, we can expect to see an increasing number of apps integrating this interesting feature, further enhancing the usability and convenience of the Apple Watch.
