5 Unexpected Attributes of the Apple Watch’s Digital Crown
the Apple Watch. Additionally, it functions as a button that can execute various tasks based on how it is pressed or rotated. The capability to scroll through items by turning the dial in either direction enables the user to swiftly locate specific items or sections on the Apple Watch, enhancing the constrained touchscreen display area. Although users can achieve the same tasks through touch input, the Digital Crown allows for quicker navigation. This is presuming users are aware of the full range of functions the Digital Crown provides, as some features might be less apparent or concealed.
Several Digital Crown features are easy to discover. By pressing and holding the button, the Crown activates Siri, provided the voice assistant is set up on the iPhone paired with the Apple Watch. Turning the dial in the App View allows users to scroll through the applications installed on the watch. This same action also facilitates zooming in and out within the Photos app. The Digital Crown is also the button you press and hold to disable the Apple Watch Water Lock feature after swimming. Capturing a screenshot on the watch by pressing the Digital Crown and Side buttons simultaneously might also be a familiar action for users.
However, the subsequent Digital Crown actions can provide even swifter access and improved control over the wearable, assisting you in managing various critical aspects of the Apple Watch, watch faces, and applications.

Apple’s Leadership Change Emphasizes the Firm’s Capacity to Uphold Discretion
**Apple’s CEO Transition: The Confidentiality Surrounding John Ternus’s Selection**
Though it had been anticipated for some time that John Ternus would take over for Tim Cook as Apple’s CEO, a significant aspect of the transition demonstrates that the company can still maintain secrecy when necessary. Here’s the rationale.
### Final Decision Concealed for Several Days
When reports emerged yesterday indicating that Tim Cook would resign as Apple’s CEO on September 1, with John Ternus stepping into the role, many readers of 9to5Mac likely found the timing of the announcement unexpected, although not the news itself.
That’s largely because the possibility of Ternus succeeding Cook as Apple’s next CEO had been extensively leaked, speculated upon, analyzed, debated, and hinted at for some time. Last November, for example, *The Financial Times* relayed that, according to their sources, Apple’s board and senior leadership had “recently accelerated” the company’s succession planning, adding that while “no final decision” had been reached favoring Ternus, Cook could step down “as early as next year”.
A few days later, *Bloomberg’s* Mark Gurman conveyed in his *Power On* newsletter that he believed this report “was simply incorrect,” insisting that “[a] credible publication should only forecast the CEO transition date for a company of Apple’s stature with considerable confidence”.
To be absolutely clear, this is not meant to disparage Gurman, whose credibility is well-established. Run this scenario again, and it could easily have been an *FT* error and a *Bloomberg* success. Importantly, the actual transition is slated to occur on September 1.
In truth, that is the crux of the matter. These markedly different reports illustrate how Apple succeeded in maintaining confidentiality, to the extent of stymieing even some of the industry’s most informed journalists from converging on a definitive timeline.
And here’s where it gets even more compelling. In an 8-K filing submitted to the SEC shortly after the announcement, Apple declared the following:
“On April 20, 2026, Apple Inc. (“Apple”) revealed that Tim Cook will shift from his position as Chief Executive Officer to Executive Chair of Apple’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective September 1, 2026 (the “Transition Date”). On April 17, 2026, the Board designated John Ternus, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, as Chief Executive Officer and a Board member, both effective on the Transition Date. Art Levinson, the current Chair of the Board, will assume the role of Lead Independent Director on the Transition Date.”
This indicates the board approved Ternus last Friday, and the decision remained undisclosed throughout the entire weekend and into Monday, right up until the announcement.
Considering Apple’s history of secrecy over the years, this is a remarkable accomplishment, as we have become accustomed to witnessing most significant actions, from product releases to internal choices, leak well in advance.
Does this imply that Apple is less concerned about iPhone leaks compared to “truly important” announcements? Perhaps. But it certainly indicates Apple is still capable of keeping its major secrets confidential when it truly matters.

WhatsApp Unveils AI Summaries for Unread Messages in Multi-Chat Testing
Meta is broadening its in-app AI-driven summaries capability on WhatsApp to encompass unread context from various chats. This new feature is intended to improve user experience by offering a consolidated view of unread messages, simplifying the process for users to catch up on discussions.
### WhatsApp to Broaden In-App AI Summaries
As per reports from WABetaInfo, the latest TestFlight version of WhatsApp discloses intentions for a function that will enable users to obtain an AI-crafted summary of unread messages across multiple chats. At present, WhatsApp provides summaries for unread messages within single chats, employing its Private Processing system to guarantee user privacy throughout the summarization procedure.
The forthcoming feature, dubbed a “unified unread chat summary,” will introduce a “Get a summary” button at the top of the Chats tab when users choose the “Unread” filter. This upgrade is designed to facilitate the review of numerous conversations, permitting users to quickly grasp essential points without needing to access each chat separately.
In a statement from WABetaInfo, it was highlighted that WhatsApp is focused on enhancing private chat summaries. While the feature is still being developed, it aims to make summarization more user-friendly. Users in specific regions can currently create message summaries by opening a conversation and clicking the “summarize” button. This capability compresses multiple messages into a succinct overview, enabling users to quickly grasp the critical aspects of a conversation.
The Private Processing system ensures that the information is securely processed, maintaining user confidentiality while providing a clear summary of unread messages. This feature is being developed for both iOS and Android versions of WhatsApp, suggesting that a release could be on the horizon, especially for beta testers.
For more comprehensive details on this impending feature, you can check out the full report on WABetaInfo.
