watchOS 10 could well revolutionize the interface of the Apple Watch. The next version of the smartwatch operating system would indeed bring big changes with a focus on widgets.
The WWDC23 from June 5 to 9 promises to be rich in both hardware and software announcements. We are waiting to discover the first mixed reality headset from the Apple brand and the next versions of the operating systems of the Apple ecosystem. iOS 17 will welcome many new features, but watchOS 17 will not fail to introduce changes either. Apple would have actually planned to focus on widgets in the interface of your connected watch.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously announced that watchOS 10 will bring some notable user interface changes. However, we did not have more details on these notable changes until now. According to the latest information shared by Mark Gurman, the Apple Watch interface could be revolutionized by widgets.
watchOS 10 would highlight widgets more than applications
Widgets would therefore be at the heart of watchOS 10. They will occupy a “ central part of the connected watch interface. It will therefore be a big change for users who will have to learn to get used to it. The widgets, however, promise to significantly improve the user experience.
« The plan is to let users scroll through a series of different widgets – for activity tracking, weather, stock prices, calendar appointments and more – rather than asking them to launch apps “says Mark Gurman. This would therefore allow easier access to the functions of the watch and display notifications more quickly.
Expect the new interface to be reminiscent of ” the Siri watch face “. As you can see in the GIF shared by Mark Gurman above, she’ll also make you think to the stacks of widgets on the iPhone and iPad. It is a feature to create a predefined collection of widgets to save screen space. On iPhone and iPad, it’s even possible to have smart stacks of widgets that display the right widget based on your activity, location, and other factors.
