Smartwatch operating system update
If you are using a smartwatch, it is best to update your Watch OS first. By doing this, you will make the performance of the smartwatch set more accurate and correct. In addition, some new features are added to it. After that, it is better to determine whether you want to wear the smartwatch with the right hand or the left hand. Of course, it is worth mentioning that this operation was not performed in traditional watches, and it did not matter to which of the blocks the watch was tied. But in smartwatches, it is very important to choose which hand to tie it to use optimally.
You can then customize the look and feel of the screen. The smartwatch is called Watch Face. Some smartwatches can be easily personalized and changed in appearance to the user's liking. Apple smartwatches have some complications that can act as widgets on Android mobile systems. We can use this widget and option to display weather, calendar, date, etc. In addition, Apple's Watch OS 2.0 smartwatch can support complications, and this widget has much more professional and additional options.
Another feature added to Watch OS 2.0 is that it can support applications either natively or directly. In this way, in using smartwatches, the operating system will fully support all applications.

How to display photos on the phone via the watch
In this part of the article, we also want to say that smartwatches have some features, one of which is to display the watches from the smartphone gallery on the smartwatch. To do this, you need to make some settings so that the photos in the smartphone gallery are displayed on it.
To access the photos in the phone gallery through it, you must carefully follow the steps listed below:
We need to install the Photos application on our smartphone to do this. Then it is better to select the Albums option. Then we have to select the + symbol that shows us in the corner to create albums.
Then it is better to choose your desired name for the album. After creating the desired album, it is better to insert your favorite photos into the album. All the photos that I will add to the album at this stage are the photos we will display.
After creating the album and inserting our favorite photos, we go to the smartwatch. In this section, to display the desired photos, we go to the My Watch section on it. In this section, we move the reed down and select the Photos application from the list of available applications that it shows us. I select the Synced Album option in this section and then select the album we created.
It is better to wait for Yankee to sync, and then we will be able to access all the photos that we put in the album on the smartphone.
Using the smart watch application, you will be able to limit the number of photos displayed through the smartwatch and tell how many photos to display and how many photos not to display. Doing so will prevent the phone's storage memory from running out. To do this, I run the application developed for the Apple Watch iOS operating system ( in French: application développée pour le système d'exploitation Apple Watch iOS ). After running it, go to the My Watch section and select the My Watch application. It is better to select the Photos Limit option after that, and in this section, specify the range or display the photos on the smartwatch.
After completing all the steps listed above, you will easily view the photos of your choice on your smartwatch. Selected images will be displayed as a collage on it. You can also use the physical button on the Apple Watch to enlarge the screen and see images with larger sizes and dimensions.
