You'll soon be able to download and purchase apps on your Apple Watch without switching to the iPhone.
The company's upcoming watchOS 6 includes a standalone app store, which features an entirely different look, miniaturized to fit the Apple Watch's small screen size. With new APIs, developers will also be able to create apps just for watchOS, like live sports, games, and podcasts.
New apps coming to watchOS, meanwhile, include Voice Memos, Audiobooks, calculator, and a tool called Noise.
With Voice Memos, you can record audio by speaking into your wrist. The calculator app, on the other hand, has been enhanced with a "tip calculator" to figure out gratuity and help you split the bill when eating out with friends.
The Noise app, meanwhile, is designed to protect your hearing. It measures decibel levels and whether nearby sound will damage your eyes.
Another big improvements coming to watchOS 6 is menstrual cycle tracking, which can log symptoms and send out notifications regarding a person's fertility and health. Activity history, meanwhile, will allow you to track how much you're moving and compare it to 90 days or a year ago. If it seems like you're doing less, Apple will let you know.
Both features will also be available in the iOS Health app for those who don't have an Apple Watch.
