This file contains a template with information like which base clock face you\u2019re using, your choice of colors, and which complications have been used across the design.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-692966\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/apple_watch_app_face_edited.png.pagespeed.ce.rRuO93T1fW.png\" alt=\"Share an Apple Watch face\" width=\"650\" height=\"619\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to stress that the .watchface files generated do not contain any personal information. So, a Watch face with an activity ring and date display won\u2019t include health data or calendar appointments. When the Watch face is applied to your own watch, your personal activity data and schedule will be used instead.<\/p>\n<p>When you share your Apple Watch face with another person, a .watchface file is generated and sent. You will likely only see this file if you share outside of Apple services like Messages or AirDrop. This file format is useful because it can be used to share your designs via other methods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Share Your Apple Watch Face<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installing_a_watchface_File_on_Your_Apple_Watch\"><\/span>Installing a .watchface File on Your Apple Watch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can install .watchface files on your Watch using your iPhone. How you install these files depends on how the other party is sharing their design. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a>ly, you only need to tap on the Watch face in a Messages conversation or accept an AirDrop transfer, and the Watch app will open and prompt you to \u201cAdd to My Faces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you have the .watchface file in an email, locate the email on your iPhone and tap on the attached .watchface file. The Watch app should launch and prompt you to add the face to your Watch.

Right-click (or Control+click) on the file and choose Share &gt; AirDrop. In the window that appears, choose your iPhone. If you don\u2019t see your iPhone, make sure that AirDrop is enabled and visible.<\/p>\n<p>When you receive the file on your iPhone, you\u2019ll be asked to open it in your choice of apps. Tap on \u201cWatch\u201d at the top of the list to open it directly in the Watch app and follow the prompts to add it to your faces. You could also save the file to Apple Notes for Mac, then open the corresponding note on your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-692968\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/xopen_in_watch_edited.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.WgOxHb2y0h.png\" alt=\"Open .watchface File in Watch App on iPhone\" width=\"650\" height=\"507\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>For Windows users, AirDrop isn\u2019t an option.
