WIMP (Where Is My iPhone) by Danny Vaittsman

Both apps can do separation alerts, not sure about complications with the Apple Watch.

Thank you Scruffypig,

WIMP app seem interesting !
But it doesn’t say how it alert you when your about to leave your iPhone behind... if it’s just a colour change on the watch, it’s useless...
Since it’s not free can anyone with this app report here about it ?

Also it use Bluetooth and GPS. And GPS always on is a battery drainer...

What we need is a Bluetooth connection detector only that alert you with beep or/and a message on your watch when the Bluetooth connection is out of range !

I found this app "Fonebud" that does exactly what I wanted and plus !

The Good:
-Alert you when your Bluetooth connection with your iPhone is out of reach !
-You can charge your iPhone with it
-You can take Selfie
-You even can answer a call
-Does not use GPS battery drainage
-if you want a intelligent power bank charging device.
It’s kind of affordable 55$ from Amazon...


The Bad:
It’s bigger than your iPhone and you got to always have it with you to be alerted...
Maybe a good buy for women’s cause they can put it in there purse...

I have never had an alert that is just a color change on the watch. I don’t know what that means? Apple Watch alerts usually are in the form of a buzz from the haptic engine of the watch.

I hope you find what you are looking for.

Yes but what about the time you didn’t noticed your phone slipping away from you in a theatre, restaurant or wherever it can be lost or forget...

I've never had this happen. Ever.

It’s interesting how many are shooting this idea down and even becoming defensive. I don’t typically leave my phone behind but I’d be lying if I said I never have. I’d also be lying if I said I’ve never turned around halfway to work after realizing I had left my phone at home. OP isn’t saying everyone needs this feature. He’s simply stating that it would be cool for Apple to integrate an alert feature in the Watch, one that could probably be turned off if the user doesn’t want it.

Can you give more info on that feature ?
Cause I didn’t see it on the link you provided...

Sorry, I just noticed your post. After looking into it a little further I realized the alert feature is still in beta. The downside is that you need to have a Tile on you to be alerted. It’s definitely not as convenient as receiving an alert on your Watch. I pretty much always have my Watch but I don’t typically have a Tile on me.

What feature ? Can you retest it and give more info please ?

I accidentally tested it the other day, at some point Apple removed the alert that you were away from your phone.
