One of the most exciting parts about owning an Apple Watch is to customize the watch face using various colors, photos, and more. There is nothing better than personalizing your watch face, so it gives you a look you always desired.
All you need is select designs, colors, and features before adding the same to your collection. Not only this, but the feature also enables you to share your watch face collection with friends, family, and anyone else you want.
Are you still confused about the concept of customizing and sharing your Apple Watch Face? Don’t worry! Go through the guide below to get to know about the process of customizing and sharing your Apple Watch Face.
How to Customize Your Apple Watch Face?
The steps to customize the Watch face on your Apple Watch are:
Push the Digital Crown to navigate to the watch face menu.
Tap and hold on the display of the watch.
Navigate by swiping right or left on display and select a watch face.
Hit the ‘Edit’ option on the display.
Select a feature by swiping right or left and rotate the Digital Crown to change the same.
Once you’re with the settings, push the Digital Crown, which will further save your settings.
Press the watch face to set it as your current face.
Note: If you wish, you can choose to change the watch face using your iPhone. All you need to do is launch the Apple Watch application and navigate to the Face Gallery tab.
How to Share Your Apple Watch Face?
The most convenient method to share your watch face with others is using the Watch app on your iPhone. To do the same, you must have iOS 14 to go any further. In case you’re using Apple Watch, you must have watchOS 7 or later installed.
The steps to share your Apple watch face are:
Open the Watch app on your iOS device.
Locate and select the face you want to share. Once selected, hit the ‘Share’ button on the top-right corner of the screen.
A new menu will appear, including AirDrop, WhatsApp, Messages, and other modes to share.
Select any one application and use the same to share the watch face.
While exporting a Watch face, a file with a .watchface extension is shared with the destination you select. Further, it enables you to share your Watch face to virtually any service that enables you to send or upload files. Notably, the size of a Watch face is around 400kb.
Sharing your Watch face directly from your Apple Watch is an alternative solution. To do the same, press and hold the Watch face until its name starts flashing at the top of the display. Next, hit the ‘Edit’ button and click on the ‘Share’ option. A new message box will open. You can choose to add a contact and once you’re done, click on the ‘Send’ button.
Note: Sending your Watch face to other apps using this method is impossible.
Receiving and Removing a Watch Face
Whenever you use the Messages app to send a Watch face, a preview is shown to the recipient. In case you’re sharing a link to the file, it doesn’t work the same. When someone clicks on the link, a detailed preview is shown only then.
The recipient can later select the ‘Add to My Faces’ option to add a Watch face to their collection. Not only this, but the faces can also be removed using the app if you click on the ‘Edit’ button.
Notably, sending a Watch face to someone doesn’t disturb their collection. Also, no personal information, like calendar events, activity, data, etc., is revealed. Additionally, a curated selection of Watch faces is promised by Apple in the App Store, which is quick and easy to install.
