How to Add Photos to Apple Watch: Did you know that your Apple Watch can store photos and let you look at them? This feature can be helpful if you want quick access to your favorite album or if you like to use photos as custom watch faces. Thankfully, this only takes a few seconds to do. Apple Watch has physical storage space built in that can be used to store photos.
Even if the watch isn’t connected to the paired iPhone, you can still look at these photos. Seeing photos on such a small screen may not be ideal, but some people like to customize their watch faces with their favorite photos, or maybe you just want to have some pictures with you all the time, even if they are on a smaller screen. You can’t move every picture from your iPhone to your Apple Watch, but you can sync all the pictures in an album.

What is an Apple Watch?
Apple Watch is a smartwatch that you can wear. It lets you do a lot of things, like make phone calls, send text messages, and check your email. The Apple Watch came out on April 24, 2015. The watch can connect to an iPhone if both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network or if Bluetooth is used.
With the Apple Watch iPhone app, users can change settings, move apps around, choose which notifications they want, and download new apps right from their iPhone. The interface of the Apple Watch was made to fit the wrist, and you can move around by swiping and tapping. It has a physical dial on the side of the watch called the “Digital Crown” that lets you zoom in, scroll, and enter data.
