watchOS 26 arrived this fall as a bigger-than-usual release for new and improved watch faces.<\/p>\n
The update introduced four brand new watch faces<\/a>, plus brought a big expansion<\/a> of always-on seconds to many existing faces.<\/p>\n Apple revealed<\/a> a few years back that the Photos watch face is the most popular among users. And there\u2019s little reason to think that\u2019s changed since then.<\/p>\n One sign of the Photos face\u2019s ongoing popularity is that it\u2019s the only face Apple regularly improves through watchOS software updates.<\/p>\n For example, last year watchOS 11 brought<\/a> new customization options for the face, and the ability to get relevant photo suggestions based on machine learning analysis.<\/p>\n In watchOS 26, Apple has two more upgrades for the Photos face.<\/p>\n Featured photos option<\/p>\n Liquid Glass time<\/p>\n Joining existing photo shuffle options like People, Nature, and Cities, you can now choose \u2018Featured\u2019 as your photo source.<\/p>\n This works similarly to the Featured images you might see inside the iPhone\u2019s Photos app or use with an iOS Home Screen widget.<\/p>\n Essentially, choosing Featured means you\u2019ll see a broad set of quality watch face photos selected for you. You won\u2019t be limited to a specific type of photo (like \u2018Nature\u2019), nor will you need to choose a specific collection or album.<\/p>\n Liquid Glass is a great fit for the Photos face because it lets more of your photos shine through.<\/p>\n When editing the Photos face, scroll down to the Time Color section and you\u2019ll find a new \u2018Glass\u2019 color option.<\/p>\n If you prefer having a specific solid color instead, that\u2019s still an option. Glass is simply an addition to the existing color library.<\/p>\n Do you use the Photos face on your Apple Watch, and if so, have you used the new watchOS 26 features?
