A Few IOS 16 Questions

Hi. I am using IOS 16.01 on an IPhone 11 with Voiceover. I have a couple of questions... On a recent Jonathan Mosen podcast, he was alluding to an option, to mirror your Apple Watch on your IPhone screen. I have searched for this option, under Accessibility and cannot find it. I'm using an Apple Watch Series 3, on the same Apple ID as my phone. Also, Jonathan mentioned using sounds, rather than speech, to indicate "Actions Available" however, I'm not sure what Accessibility option I need to tweak, to make that happen. Any thoughts, from you good folks, are much appreciated.

It works for series 4 and up. Do not think it works for the 3. You also need to have OS 9.

Like I said in the subject, this option only works on the series 6 and up.

Hello,

To answer your second question.

Go into Settings, Accessibility and Voiceover.

Double tap on Verbosity.

Scroll down until you reach Actions.

Double tap here.

You now have a few options you can select to denote whether an item is actionable.

You can deselect speech and select sound to achieve your desired result.

Many thanks, to all who have responded on this thread. Managed to get "Actionable Item" sorted out. disappointing, that I need a later version of watch, but so be it.
