watchOS 8 was also among the new operating systems that Apple presented at the opening keynote for this year's WWDC conference on Monday. In today's article, we bring you an overview of all the new features that this update brings, because Apple's Czech website still does not provide information about them.

Fotky

The watchOS 8 operating system brings even more options for working with Photos. In addition to the new watch face with support for Portrait mode, users will be able to enjoy automatically synchronized memories and collections, an even better display in a mosaic format, or even easier and more efficient photo sharing options via native Mail or Messages.

Household

If you also use your Apple Watch to manage and control HomeKit-compatible smart home elements, you can look forward to even richer options after updating to watchOS 8. In watchOS 8, the Home application will offer you automatic suggestions for procedures and settings, better options for viewing footage from cameras, faster and better access to individual scenes, or perhaps displaying the current status of individual devices in your smart home.

Wallet

As with other operating systems, Apple has also improved the native Wallet app in watchOS 8. For example, it can now also accommodate digital keys, offer even better options for the CarKey function, enable the sharing of digital keys and also offer support for verified documents - all reliably, securely and encrypted.

News and Mail

The native Messages and Mail applications have also received improvements in the watchOS 8 operating system. Users will be able to edit text even better and easier with the help of the digital crown, use dictation, finger typing and emoji at the same time, and also add animated GIFs from an extensive library. It will also be possible to share music from Apple Music via Mail and Messages.

Concentration

Another great new feature in this year's operating systems from Apple is a new mode called Focus. Users can decide what they need to focus on at the moment and fully customize the notifications on their devices. In Apple Watch, a menu of preset preferences for Focus mode will be added, but users will also be able to make their own settings, or synchronize everything with their other Apple devices.

Health

Native Health has redesigned and improved the Breathing app, now renamed Mindfulness, to help users take care of their own mental health. There will be new visualizations for even better concentration and relaxation, as well as new parameters in the display of total Mindfulness minutes in the Health summary. As part of sleep monitoring, a function for monitoring breathing will be added.
