You can still raise your wrist to check the time or the state of your current workout, but you\u2019ll need to disable water lock before you can tap on a complication or launch an app.<\/p>\n<p>Siri will still work while water lock is engaged, but only if you have \u201cHey Siri\u201d or raise-to-trigger modes enabled. You won\u2019t be able to press and hold the digital crown to trigger Apple\u2019s assistant.\u00a0Water lock doesn\u2019t prevent the watch from making sounds, measuring your heart rate, or oxygen levels, or tracking your location via GPS. Pressing and holding the side button will still dial emergency services, where possible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-817182\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/disable_water_lock.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Disable water lock on Apple Watch\" width=\"368\" height=\"448\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can disable water lock by turning the digital crown until the on-screen meter fills up. You can turn the crown in any direction, and the faster you turn it the quicker you\u2019ll disable the lock. Once water lock is disabled your Apple Watch will emit a sound that is designed to clear and dislodge any water stuck inside the speaker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How Your Apple Watch Can Help in an Emergency<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enable_Water_Lock_Using_Control_Center\"><\/span>Enable Water Lock Using Control Center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can trigger water lock at any time from your basic Watch face by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to reveal Control Center, then tapping on the water lock icon that looks like a drop of water.
