Y Watch 8 has had its special section. There are several novelties that the Apple Watch software presents. Let's say that there are none that are very relevant to users, but there are small improvements compared to the current version. Let's see what they have explained to us.

Apple has just presented the news that we can see this year in watchOS 8. There are none that are spectacular, but it is appreciated that small new functions are being incorporated to be able to enjoy more and more the potential offered by the Apple Watch.

The Breathe application undergoes further improvements. Now called Mindfulness, it is not only based on breathing, but it helps you in the moments you need to take a breath and meditate. And regarding respiration, now you can also measure the respiratory rate while you sleep. An interesting feature added to sleep tracking.

The spheres with the background of a photograph can now include depth if you use a photo in portrait mode. The photos app has undergone some interesting improvements, adding highlights and memories. Now you can share your photos from the Apple Watch with Messages or Mail.

Another small novelty is that if you send a handwritten message, you can include a emoji. From Messages, you can search for an image to send, and have faster access to photos.

At last the objects are included in the search application. Now you can locate your Air Tag from the Apple Watch. Essential if you go with your LTE watch and do not carry the iPhone with you.

They have also shown us how the Weather application shows us if there will be precipitation in the next hour. We will have to wait to see if this information will also be available in our country. With watchOS 8, you can share your music from the Apple Watch through the Messages app.

In principle, these are the improvements that have just been shown to us in the keynote that has just ended. We will have to wait to try the first ones Betas to see if there are more news that for a matter of time they have not shown us today.
