2 Nightstand Mode Improvement
Nightstand, the mode that pops up when an Apple Watch is being charged and placed on its side, has also gotten an incremental update in the newest update to the watchOS platform.
Previously, the Nightstand mode — which displays time, date and active alarms — only worked in a horizontal orientation. Now, the Apple Watch will detect its orientation and display Nightstand mode in Portrait if applicable.
It’s worth noting that this small addition would be of particular use to Apple Watch owners charging their devices on Apple’s upcoming AirPower charging mat.
