I prefer to sync a handful of memorable photos with the Apple Watch, generally to use them as the watch face. Apple Watch’s ability to cycle through synced images whenever you raise your hand or tap the display is super cool. What’s more, watchOS 8 now lets you set Portrait watch faces for a more immersive and personal touch on Apple Watch. That’s not all, though. Another equally useful feature added in watchOS 8 is the ability to share photos directly from your wrist. If you are curious to learn how this feature works, here is how you can share photos via Messages and Mail on Apple Watch.
Since you can easily message people from your Apple Watch, it was only a matter of time before the company allowed you to send photos from the wearable. Now, that’s possible, so check out the step-by-step guide below.

Then, go to the “My Watch tab -> Photos -> Sync Album”. Now, select the album you want to sync with your smartwatch.
