2016-06-13
so we've made it really easy to access your favorite apps you can just press the side button below the crown to show what we call the doc you can choose which apps go here and you can quickly scroll through them the apps are down both glanceable and interactive rather than separate concepts this is a dramatic improvement how it feels to use the watch so this increased performance allowed us to have access to our favorite apps quickly we want to be able to access them anywhere so be using the side button and get to them easily now another key design goal we had was to make the watch feel more familiar and so we've done with the watch face now we've added control center you just swipe up from the bottom just like on iOS and very familiar this is a giant improvement in how it feels to use apps and to navigate the watch very simply and easily in watch OS three now we've also been it more powerful powerful to reply to messages so now when you receive a message you can see the ways to respond right there we've removed a step you don't have to actually press reply now you can just pick the way you'd like to reply and if you just scroll down you'll see your smart replies right below the message so you can just tap to reply in less than a second now sometimes you don't see exactly the response you like and you're not in a situation where you can use dictation so would it be great if you could just write your message on the watch well we're introducing a new way to do that with something that we call scribble scribble you have a new way to respond just by writing what you like on the screen you can just quickly draw the letters for your message right there like writing something like Starbucks you can see the letters go right on top of each other so that's a great new way to respond with just the response that you like on your watch now the watch face is great for quick looks and it reflects your style it's also the character of the device and we've had Mickey as a fun watch face that I like to use on weekends but I know what my daughter is going to really love is Minnie is coming to the watch now and of course you can choose from a variety of colors for her outfit that match our bands perfectly
