COMMON QUESTIONS Are these real watch faces, or wallpapers? They are images. watchOS only runs Apple's own faces — no app can add a new kind — so what you get is a background: you save a design to Photos and set it behind the Photos face on the watch. How do I actually get one onto the watch? Save the design to Photos, put it in an album, then on the iPhone open the Watch app, pick the Photos face and point it at that album. About a minute the first time, seconds after that. Terms of Use: https://masaapps360.com/watchfaces/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://masaapps360.com/watchfaces/privacy/
