watchOS 8: How to share photos via Messages or Mail

The new operating systems, specifically iOS and iPadOS 15, macOS 12 Monterey, watchOS 8 and tvOS 15, were presented by Apple more than a month ago, as part of the WWDC21 developer conference. Since then, we have been working on new features and improvements that we have received every day on our magazine. At first glance, it might seem that there are few innovations in the presented systems, mainly due to the presentation style. Immediately after the end of the presentation, the Californian giant made available the first developer beta versions of the new systems, and a few weeks later the public beta versions were released. In this article, we will focus on one of the new features in watchOS 8.

When introducing watchOS 8, Apple also focused on a redesigned Photos app, among other things. While in older versions of watchOS this application will only show you a selection of a few dozen or hundreds of photos, in watchOS 8 you can look forward to several collections in which you can find recommended photos, memories and selections. In addition to this change, it is also possible to share a certain photo directly from your Apple Watch, via the Messages or Mail application. This is useful if you just have a long moment, you start scrolling through your memories and you want to share a certain photo with someone immediately, without having to take your iPhone out of your pocket. The procedure for sharing is as follows:

• First, you need to press on your Apple Watch with watchOS 8 digital crown.
