#LAST KNOWN LOCATION APPLE WATCH UPDATE#
To get the new Apple Watch app, you’ll need to download or update to the latest version of the Lookout app for iPhone, then sync your Apple Watch with your phone.Hide My Watch Posts Show My Watch Posts FAQ Rules Lookout says the app’s invention was born of the company’s regular employee hackathons, and was then made a part of the broader product roadmap. This helps to address the most common “lost phone” scenario – where you’ve inadvertently set your phone down then left it behind as you walked away.
#LAST KNOWN LOCATION APPLE WATCH BLUETOOTH#
In what is perhaps the best feature of all, you can configure the app to buzz your Apple Watch when you’re out of Bluetooth range. However, as the app has only just launched, it’s unclear at this time how pronounced that effect will be for Lookout’s app. One caveat here: apps that utilize the GPS can have an effect on your iPhone’s battery. This location is nearly real-time, as the backend is constantly tracking the iPhone’s GPS. If you’ve left your phone somewhere much further away, the app displays a map showing the phone’s last known location. However, you can make your iPhone “scream” over Wi-Fi, in case you’re out of Bluetooth range but the phone is still somewhere relatively nearby. This feature requires a Bluetooth connection, so it’s ideal for finding the phone around the house or some other small area. As you walk around, the bar will adjust so you know if you’re getting “warmer” or “colder,” the company explains. In addition, on the smartwatch app’s homescreen, you’ll see a “distance visualization bar,” which shows you how far away you are from your phone. This could even be used in the case where you suspect your phone has just been lifted by an unknown third party, such as pickpocket. The app can also be used to trigger a “scream” on your iPhone (a loud alert) that can help you find a misplaced phone.

Its new smartwatch app will help you to not lose your phone, by alerting you if you’re about to leave your phone behind, as well as help you locate a lost or stolen phone by pointing you to its last known location. Mobile security firm Lookout has introduced today what may be one of the more practical applications for Apple Watch.
