Night mode Wayfinder watchOS 10

The Apple Watch Ultra is one of Apple’s most unique devices. In his presentation was included a new sphere called Guide, a sphere capable of adding up to eight complications, a compass on the dial and it also adapts to the large screen of the device. And there was also an important novelty: night mode, which was activated by moving the digital crown. However, the arrival of widgets and their invocation with the same gesture with the digital crown has meant that watchOS 10 adds automatic night mode for Apple Watch Ultra.

As we mentioned, the large screen of the Apple Watch Ultra made watchOS 10 adopt a new interface with the advent of widgets. These widgets are now attached to the watch face in the background and can be accessed by dragging the digital crown scrolling through each of the widgets we have placed.

However, There was a problem. The Wayfinder face on Apple Watch Ultra has a night mode It is activated in two ways. On the one hand, by integrating a shortcut from the control center of the Apple Watch and, on the other hand, by slide the digital crown until you can access full night mode. As you can see, the sliding motion of the Digital Crown invokes two actions: night mode on the Wayfinder face and widgets in watchOS 10.

SO, Apple engineers will use the ambient light sensor of Apple Watch Ultra for the Wayfinder to face automatically switch to night mode. This way the sensor determines when there is not enough light to initiate night mode. Obviously all these changes can be enabled or disabled depending on the user’s preferences, but they show that each change that is integrated into watchOS 10 can interfere with other old functions and a solution must be found to avoid the problems of interface.
