watchOS 7 Tip: How To Share Apple Watch Faces

Apple Watch owners who love to tinker with their wearable know just how customizable watch faces are, especially in watchOS 7. Aside from this feature, Apple also made watch faces shareable with others, letting smartwatch owners enjoy the creations that other users make.

With watchOS 7, Apple Watch users can share watch faces with just one person – a friend, for example – or many others via the internet. The process requires a bit of effort, but being able to give and receive watch faces makes the trouble worth it. Here's how to share watch faces with others:

With One Person

• First, on an Apple Watch, users should swipe until they see the watch face they want to share.
• Once there, press and hold on the watch face until Edit and the Share button appear.
• Users should tap on the Share button when it appears, then choose Add Contact to look for a person to share the watch face with.
• Look for the contact on the list shown on the screen, then tap on that contact's name.
• If the name isn't present, users can tap on Dictate, say the name, then select the contact from a list will be shown on the screen.
• After selecting the contact, users will need to select a standard text message, then scroll down and press Send.

With More People Online

Obviously, the above method will be tiring for Apple Watch owners who plan to share the watch face with a lot of people. Users will find sharing the watch face file easier. Here's how:

• First, on their iPhones, users should open the Watch app then look for the watch face they want to share with others.
• After finding the watch face, tap on Share, then select Mail. Users will need to send the watch face to themselves via email.
• Users should open the email on their iPhone when they receive it, then tap on the .watchface attachment.
• After that, users should tap on Share, choose Save to Files, then save the attachment somewhere it'll be accessible.

This method saves the watch face file on the iPhone and will make it easier to send to more people online. The steps below will teach users how to share the file with others:

• First, users should open the Files app, look for the .watchface file, then press and hold on it.
• After that, users should tap on Share, then Add People, then Share Options.
• Choose Anyone with a Link from the options presented, then press Back.
• Users should then look for and tap on Copy Link in the row of icons if present.
• If not, users should navigate to the end of the row, choose More, then look for and tap on Copy Link in the text list.

Users will then be able to share the file with others by sending them the link via email.
