The Apple Watch’s backbone is its watch faces. Not only does it help you tell time, but you can also get all the important information you need at a glance by personalizing the faces and adding complications.
Additionally, you can share your Apple Watch face with anyone, including your loved ones and friends. The only prerequisite for sharing your preferred Apple Watch face is that the recipient must also have an Apple Watch running watchOS 7 or later. This implies that you are unable to exchange faces with someone still sporting an Apple Watch Series 1 or 2. In this article, we explain to you how to create and share your Apple Watch face with a friend or family. Let’s check it out.
