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.
