Getting a new phone can keep thinking about what to do with your old. Trade in it, especially for credit toward your new handset, is ideal and can please the future refined shopper. But if the price in trade is not valuable for you and you are wondering what your retired pocket computer can do, we have some ideas. One suggestion is to turn it into a dedicated alarm watch. Yes, you can use your new phone perfectly for this purpose – maybe you have already done. But instead you have the obvious benefits of using your rejected device. Here is how to cycle your old iPhone in the alarm clock.
What’s the matter?
The retired gadget does nothing in the drawer-except when you said when you said that when you said that you thought to do something half-hearted. Recycling is a valid option, but even if your old handset is not like your new, it is definitely more powerful than any sleeping machine or smart alarm clock in the market. And here with the points of setup in detail, it can in fact perform more modern functions.
In addition, using your existing phone is dangerous when you are trying to sleep. I never picked up my phone without engaging. Finally, once again, the electronic gadget with prices makes it difficult to come at a good price, and by reviewing what a current device can do is intelligent chemistry.
First, delete everything
Well, not everything. But the idea is to make your phone as unreasonable as possible – no Instagram, no Memorial ValleyThere are no photo memories from last year’s road trip. Your iPhone won’t let you delete some apps, such as phones, messages, app stores and others – but you can hide them from your home screen so they can only pop up if you find them.
You will still need some apps to make your alarm watch, so do not delete the following or hide:
Set up a personalized alarm tone
If you wake up on something more pleasant than the clock app and shedding, choose a personal voice instead.
1. Schedule your sleep schedule in health. Apple you need to schedule your sleep in the health app before you can set the alarm in the watch app.
2. Download a song. Theoretically, you can use any song downloaded on your phone as the sound of your alarm. But I Couldn’t get it to work With any song that supported Dolby Atmos or unlimited audio (whether I have locked these options in Setting> Music> Audio).
But standard songs did a great job. If, like me, you are not a heavy sleeper, you would like something like songs or meditation flute. If you need a thunder to wake up, go for something else.
3. Set your alarm. Open the watch app and select the alarm tab. Set your alarm as usual. Then tap the sound> Select no song> Download> and select the song of your desire (unlimited!). Save.
4. Turn off vibration. If you do not want your phone to finish your alarm, then your phone vibrate, change the Hoptics option that never play in Settings and Humitics.
Make some (white) noise
My favorite thing about my sleeping machine is the hardest music that I get asleep. Not surprisingly, your old iPhone is also able to play a temptation. And if white noise helps you stay in the dream field, you can also program your phone to play these sounds. A combination of shortcuts and automations will play your sleep routine automatically so you don’t need to touch your screen at all.
1. Create a playlist of sleep time. Open Apple Music and Make Playlist. (Unfortunately, the shortcut does not work with spots.) I settled the mixture at the time of Amy’s sleep with the songs of Apple’s tailing cold and pure acne playlists. I made the seat about 30 30 minutes long because it’s a little taller than what makes me feel away.
2. Turn off autoplay. It is very difficult when you are flowing and your imaginary playlist shapes are selected as some algorithmic Camels Camels To turn off the Benjar AutoPlay:
-
Play a track in Apple Music.
-
Tap the name of the song to expand the album core and track control.
-
Tap three lines to the bottom right. Now you will see the tracks and three buttons coming to the upper part of the list: crossed arrows (shuffle), Loopid arrows (repeat) and an infantry logical (auto play).
-
Togel the autoplay so it can fall.
Note: It is turned off by off the autoplay All Your Apple Device. If you like it when Apple flows the melodies after a playlist is over, you will have to complete a side quest, which is in detail at the end of this post.
3. Choose your white noise sound. A capable leakage feature provides you with eight different white noise sounds, including rain, sea, fire and night (with more work soon).
-
Open the settings app
-
Tap the leases
-
Tap Audio and Visual
-
Tap background sounds
-
Toggle background sounds
-
Tap the sound then select your favorite
-
Press Back and Toggle Background Sounds
-
Toggle on use when the media is playing
-
Toggle stops sounds when lock
3. Make a shortcut. This will have to play your phone with your playlist with white noise (which softens the song transfer) and when the playlist is finished, the white noise continues.
-
Open the shortcuts and tap all the shortcut, then tap + in the upper right
-
The term “volume”, tap the set volume and choose one percent, such as 25 % or choose your desired level
-
Find for “background”, tap the background sound. Shortcut should read: (turn) (background sounds) (on)
-
“Play” Search and Tap Play Music
-
Tap on music> library> playlist> (mix your sleep time). Then tap the small TIP in the upper right
-
Tap the arrow with a shortcut title above to rename your shortcut, probably like a sleep routine or at night.
-
Tap
4. Mango your shortcut with automation. You can just ask Siri to run your shortcut, just say “Hey Sri, Night Night” (or “Oh Siri, Sleep routine” or whatever you have named the shortcut). But if you want your routine to start every night, make automation.
-
In the shortcut app, tap the automation tab at the bottom
-
Tap on + to create a new automation
-
Tap the day time and insert your preferred start time and day
-
Make sure the checkmark is present near the run (and is not running after confirmation) and when the run -toggle is closed when it is closed
-
Tap Next
-
If you do not see the name of the shortcut created from above, find the name and tap on
5. Turn off the background sounds. Whether you want your white noise to play all the way to your alarm or just for an hour or two, it is wise to make automation to close it so that you don’t have to manually do it.
-
Make a new shortcut
-
Find for “Background”
-
Tap the set background sound
-
(On) Tap on (off) so shortcut reads (turn) (background sounds) (off)
-
Change shortcut name: The background sound is off
-
Hit
-
Make a new automation in the automation tab
-
Tap the day time
-
Set it for your alarm time or after a few hours while sleeping usually
-
Tap the run immediately and make sure to inform when the run is toggles
-
Hit and choose the shortcut you’ve now made (the background sounds are closed)
Stand it up
iOS 17 or so after the running phones have a standby mode, which is based on a handshake charging and horizontally, showing your stylized watch faces. To activate Standbai:
If you put your phone in the stand, it will look like a lot of alarm clock (and it will be easier to look away). Whether you use the megasaf wireless stand or the basic stand and Cord Combo, your new alarm clock (alias old phone) will plug all the time. So you want to change your battery settings to prevent 100 % from reaching. (Fully charged or completely empty is the one that puts the most pressure on the batteries). To do this:
Side Quest: Stop your Sleep Playlist without closing the autoplay
Some people like it when the algorithm tries to continue with the relevant songs after the end of the playlist. But, playing random music all night is probably not good for sleep. The good news is, you can set timers to play your sleep lyrics for a certain period of time, so it ends without disabling autoplay on all your devices.
-
Note the length of your playlist
-
Open the watch app and tap the timer tab
-
Tap and scroll down and stop playing when the timer ends
-
Tap on the set
-
Open the shortcut and edit your nighttime routines by tapping three dots in the shortcut card (which is your playlist and background sounds)
-
Find “timer”
-
Tap on Start Timer
-
Enter the length of your playlist in the field of duration
-
Tap
Since the background sounds are a setting and not technically the media that is running, your white noise will play until the automation is gone.
