iOS 16.2’s Stocks app gains watchlist sorting options
These new sorting options were spotted by Chance Miller over at9to5Mac.
Simply touch thethree-dotted menuin the top-right corner of the Stocks app to choose the new sorting and display options. To sort a watchlist, selectSort Watchlist Byfrom the menu and then choose your preferred sorting criteria:
This option was nowhere to be found in iOS 16.1 and earlier, meaning you could only sort your watchlist manually. On top of that, you’re able to now set what each of your watchlists will display by choosing between these three options:
“This change gives you more granularity with the ability to sort each list by whichever data point you choose, as opposed to only being able to pick one option that applies to all of your different lists,” notes Miller
For example, you could set your FAANG watchlist to display price change and be sorted by market cap. According to the publication, the Stocks widget for the home screen in iOS 16.2 also supports the new sorting options set within the app.
To create a watchlist, chooseMy Symbolsunder the search field at the top of the Stocks app, then chooseNew Watchlist. Now name your watchlist, add some stocks to it and you’re good to go.Read:How to track stocks on Apple Watch
