Here\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Portrait_Watch_Faces_Work\"><\/span>How Portrait Watch Faces Work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new Portraits watch face is a bit like the existing Photos watch face that\u2019s been a mainstay of the Apple wearable experience since launch. Think of it as a digital photo frame that also happens to tell the time, with a rotation of up to 24 photos.<\/p>\n<p>The catch is that these photos must have been taken in Portrait mode on an iPhone with a depth-sensing camera. If you\u2019re not sure if you have any images taken in Portrait mode you can open the Photos app on your iPhone, tap on the Albums tab, then scroll down to the Portrait category.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-696626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/iphone_12_featured.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"301\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Since images taken in Portrait mode also record depth information, Apple can do some nifty things with the resulting photos. This includes subtly overlaying the subject of your photo on top of the time and adding a depth effect that causes the subject to hover slightly in the frame.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t got any Portrait photos, launch your iPhone\u2019s camera app and swipe until you hit Portrait mode. Since the iPhone 11 was introduced Apple has vastly expanded Portrait mode to include not only people and faces but animals and inanimate objects too.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_Portrait_Watch_Faces_to_Your_Apple_Watch\"><\/span>Adding Portrait Watch Faces to Your Apple Watch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With your Portrait photos in hand, launch the Watch app on your iPhone.
