With the presentation of watchOS, Apple introduced a Portraits sphere, one of the most representative novelties of the update. Finally, with the arrival of the second watchOS 8 beta this week, registered users of the trial program will be able to take a look and discover the available features of this attractive feature.
As demonstrated on the day of its presentation at WWDC 21, the watch face will allow you to select up to 24 portraits from your gallery and add them to your Apple Watch as portraits. With the possibility of choosing up to two complications. And show them with the date in the middle or any other date you like at the bottom. And take advantage of the experience described by Apple:
Display your favorite portraits like a watch face. The portraits are cropped to focus on the people they contain, fit the screen and integrate time. You can choose from three different font styles and select up to 24 photos. A new photo appears every time you lift your wrist or touch the screen ”.
You can wear “Portraits” on the wrist
The idea of the new Portraits sphere is to take advantage of the Apple Watch screen, to see our favorite photos throughout the day. While it is true that these can include objects or landscapes, it seems more in line with the characteristics offered by the function, choosing those with people. And the maximum number of 24 invites us to be selective with what we will see on our wrists throughout the day.
