Context: I really like using the red flashlight during nighttime. However, it’s hard to launch while in sleep mode because the screen is locked, so I have to hold down the digital crown to unlock the screen, then launch the little menu to bring up the flashlight and all.
Question: Is there anyway to set up my Apple Watch so that when it is in sleep mode (locked screen) that when I double tap the side button, it automatically launches the red flash light?
I am not super sure, but from what I know, you cannot customize what the side button does on the watch, but on the watch ultra, you can customize what the action button does. I do not own an ultra so I couldn’t try to set it up directly but the simplest would be to just set the action button to turn on the flashlight at anytime.

To turn it on in sleep mode, maybe it is possible in the focus settings. Otherwise maybe an automation in shortcuts. I doubt it it really possible though sorry.
