Turn your Apple Watch face into a carousel of pictures
One of our favourite things about the Apple Watch is the diversity in its Face Gallery. You can access these Watch Faces from the Watch app on your iPhone. Apple’s default gallery has something in it for everyone, whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or a fan of minimalist design. Every Watch Face has its own set of customisation options. You can select the colour of the clock, dial shape, numerals on the watch, and more. To make the Watch Face more informative, you can add a bunch of features or ‘Complications’ to it. There are complications for activity, alarms, stopwatch, maps, blood oxygen level, and more.
But what if you don’t want to limit yourself to Apple’s collection of Watch Faces? Well, your watch also lets you set any picture from your iPhone’s gallery as the wallpaper as well. You can even change the position of the time on the screen and add a few complications to it. Want more? By creating a dedicated folder of pictures, you can turn your Apple Watch’s display into a carousel of photos. Every time you raise your wrist, you will be greeted with a new picture on the screen. Read along to learn how you can do that.
