New Watch Face and Photos App Improvements
The Photos app on the Apple Watch has always been fairly basic, but it looks like it’s finally time for it to grow up in watchOS 8 into a more full-featured counterpart to the iPhone version.
As Shandra Rica, the senior manager of watchOS Software Programs explained during today’s presentation, the new Photos app in watchOS 8 will now include memory highlights and featured photos, along with a new mosaic layout to make browsing through your favourite photos on the Apple Watch even more enjoyable.
Lynch also noted that you’ll be able to use Portrait Photos in a new watch face to make subjects really stand out on the smaller screen.
