watchOS 8 could bring new apps. There are 6 we already know about
One of Apple's upcoming updates is about to be revealed. The American brand has not yet confirmed the rumors, but all indications are that the new watchOS 8 will support new apps, widgets, and features.
After its last launch, which introduced the new Apple Watch 6 and Apple Watch SE, an update to the smartwatch's system was expected. And, it seems, that is exactly what will happen.
watchOS 8: new apps, monitors, and widgets
The rumors can be read on several specialized websites—and 9to5Mac is one such example. The platform confirms what many wanted to hear. It is possible that Apple is indeed working on an (even) more intuitive design, in addition to new monitors, widgets, and apps.
After the new heart rate measurement function was launched, these are the next new features.
Health App
In an attempt to make the Apple Watch an increasingly independent gadget, all indications are that the brand will include the Health App in watchOS 8. This way, you will be able to access all your health and physical activity data directly from your Apple Watch.
Astronomy Apps
Yes, you read that right. Apple wants you to see what the sky and stars look like without taking your feet off the ground. In these applications, you will be able to find out what time the sun rises and sets, the alignment of the planets, among many other features.
Widgets in Control Center
Among the new features of the new watchOS 8 is the inclusion of widgets in the Control Center. This way, you ensure that you are, literally, controlling everything with a click.
New monitors and screensavers
This is another of the new features that may be arriving. Apple is developing new and fun monitors that you can use when the watch screen is locked.
Battery App
Apple wants to give users more control. With the number of new services and features it has launched, such as Apple Fitness+, it is important that the battery status is always controlled. Now you will be able to do this directly on your Apple Watch.
Climbing App
For the more adventurous, watchOS 8 has another novelty up its sleeve. The climbing application lets you explore the world while practicing your favorite physical activity. All this while controlling and accessing all the information you need to never lose your way.
