How to Stop Low Cardio Fitness Notifications on Apple Watch

How to Turn off the Notifications the Easy Way

Confusingly, while you set up Low Cardio Fitness notifications in the Health app, that isn’t where you turn them off. Instead, to disable the alerts, open the “Watch” app on your iPhone and go to “Heart.” Toggle “Cardio Fitness Notifications” off from here.

How to Stop Low Cardio Fitness Alerts the Hard Way

While turning off Low Cardio Fitness notifications is one way to stop seeing them, there’s a better way: increase your cardio fitness. Higher levels of physical fitness have been linked with lower risks of getting heart disease, strokes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and some cancers. Just look at this list from the American Heart Association.

Also, it’s important to remember that your cardio fitness is measured against other people of your age and sex. If you’re in your 60s, your level of fitness is naturally going to be lower than it was when you were in your 20s. Apple doesn’t somehow expect everyone to stack up against a field of elite athletes.

Note: Before starting any new exercise program, make sure that you talk to your personal physician. We’re not doctors here at How-To Geek, and we aren’t qualified to give you nuanced and specific health advice.

Increasing your cardio fitness takes time and, yes, exercise. If you’re just starting out, try increasing the number of steps that you take per day, or even do a couch to 5k program. After a few weeks, you’ll be able to see your cardio fitness number climb in the Health app. To check your cardio fitness, open the “Health” app, tap “Browse,” tap “Heart,” then tap “Cardio Fitness.”

Move more and you should see the trend-line start to go up over the next days, weeks, and months. You can also tap the “i” icon to see the different ranges for all demographics.

Cum să vă controlați PlayStation 4 cu smartphone-ul

Aplicația oficială PlayStation de la Sony, disponibilă atât pentru telefoanele Android, cât și pentru iPhone, vă permite să vă controlați de la distanță PS4. Folosiți-l ca telecomandă de redare sau tastatură pentru tastarea rapidă, fără a vă baza pe controlerul PS4 și tastatura de pe televizor.

În timp ce Nintendo a optat pentru pachetul unui întreg controler cu un gamepad cu ecran tactil, atât Sony, cât și Microsoft au adăugat un mediu de „al doilea ecran” cu o aplicație pentru smartphone. Nu este integrat direct în multe jocuri, dar este totuși o caracteristică utilă.

How to Turn On Link Previews in Signal (or Turn Them Off)

Signal might focus on privacy and encryption, but it includes rich features found in other messaging apps like WhatsApp and iMessage. One such feature is link previews. Here’s how to turn link previews on or off, including on a per-message basis.

To generate link previews, the Signal app uses a privacy-enhancing proxy—the site you’re previewing never even sees your IP address. Link previews are supported on all sites that include HTTPS encryption.
