Over eight years, the Apple Watch has sensibly evolved—activity rings, rest-day pauses, Walkie Talkie, widget redesign—and become an indispensable daily companion. Yet its clever hand-washing feature from watchOS 7 is plagued by incessant false “loud environment” alerts from hand dryers and repeated dish-washing triggers that never get fixed. It’s baffling that a device capable of life-saving crash detection can’t handle drying your hands, making me suspect Apple’s engineers never actually wash theirs.

    Do people actually buy hand dryers to kill germs?

    I usually see two types of businesses that buy them. A) businesses that think they’re helping the environment by producing less waste and b) businesses that are cheap/ lazy and like not having to buy paper towels.

      My point was they spread germs, I quoted the first study I found. The myth did not quite fit with the op. But it is a Sunday and I was not going to do any more work.
