The Work
Find My Phone during a GPS Activity
Find My Phone is a feature that shipped in June 2024, that allows users to navigate to the location where their watch was last connected to their phone during a GPS activity.
Due to a nondisclosure agreement, I cannot share the details of my other projects until products ship. In the meantime, I am happy to discuss my process offline and give a glimpse into the internship.
