Cook mode
Cook without touching your phone
Cook mode walks you through one step at a time in big, readable text. Timers run on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on your Apple Watch, and the screen stays awake so flour-covered hands never have to unlock anything.
How it works
- 1
Open a recipe and tap Start cooking.
- 2
Move through the steps one at a time.
- 3
Start a timer from the small pot — it follows you to the Lock Screen and Watch.
- 4
Finish to mark the dish cooked and rate it.
