    Hi Pri

     

    You can use Live Photos for the Photo watch face on Apple Watch. To set that up:

     

    • On your iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, in the Apple Watch app:
      • My Watch > Photos > Synced Album - choose the album on your iPhone that contains your Live Photo(s).
    • On Apple Watch, either:
      • Force press on your current watch face > keep swiping left until you reach the New "+" button and tap it, then tap Photo (or tap Customise under your existing Photo watch face) > Choose your Live Photo. Or;
      • Go the Home screen (single press on the Digital Crown) > Photos > whilst browsing your photos, press on the one you want to use as a watch face > tap Create Watch Face.
    • There is also a Photo Album watch face, which uses different photos from the synced album each time.

    Hi Jonathan,

    Thank you for your help, but when i did what you told me, i got a kind of screen saver (for some pictures) on my watch, not an animated picture (one pic)...like Mickey Mouse or Butterfly or Flower faces.

    Perhaps i should insert a photo with gif format.

    Hi Pri

     

    My reply referred to using Live Photos - this is a new feature that is available on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus:

     

    http://www.apple.com/iphone-6s/cameras/

     

    Under watchOS 2, you can choose a Time Lapse watch face, which will show a short video of Mack Lake, New York, Hong Kong, London, Paris, or Shanghai.
