Apple watchOS 10 is Seeing a Notable Change in UI
Apple's watchOS 10 is set to receive some notable changes during this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, according to the latest report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The focus is on adding a Widget feature, similar to the Widget Stack on the iPhone and iPad.
This will allow users to scroll through a series of Widgets, including activity tracking, weather, stock tickers, calendar appointments, and more.
The new feature is expected to be a game-changer, as it will enable Apple Watch users to access their information more easily and conveniently.
Widgets have been long-awaited by Apple Watch users, who have been asking for a more customizable and user-friendly interface. With the introduction of the Widget feature, users will be able to personalize their Apple Watch screens to suit their needs and preferences.
Additionally, the feature will make it easier for users to access important information at a glance, without the need to navigate through multiple apps and menus.
