Share Apple Watch watch face in watchOS 7
It’s a small addition in watchOS 7, but a really nice one: sharing watch faces. When you have been toiling for a long time on the perfect layout, you naturally want to show it to others. After you send the watch face, they can use it on their own Apple Watch.
Here’s how to share an Apple Watch watch face:
- To start
On your Apple Watch, go to the watch face you want to share;
- Press the Share button
Hold your finger on the screen for a moment and tap the just-published Share button, which you can recognize by the square with an arrow pointing up;
- Select recipient
Then indicate to whom you want to forward the record by tapping the plus sign in the top right and selecting someone from the list. You can also say his / her name by pressing the Microphone button;
- Format and send message
Then format the message and turn the Digital Crown to scroll down. Then press “Send”.
The recipient will then receive a message that you have shared a Watch Face with her or him. The person can accept the watch face by tapping on it and then pressing “Add”.
Share watch faces from your iPhone
It is also possible to share watch faces from the Apple Watch app on your iPhone (with iOS 14). Simply tap on a watch face in your collection, press the Share icon and choose which option (such as email) you want to share it with.
