First spotted earlier this week, the app, known officially as the Apple Watch Companion, allows in-depth control of the smartwatch via Apple’s iPhone.
Until now, what we’ve known about the Apple Watch has largely been drawn from Apple’s own official blurb.
But the app lays bare for the first time just how fully featured the device is going to be compared to rival products.
Among the revelations is that users will be able to rearrange apps on the watch’s home screen via a virtual view on their iPhone.
There’s also the option to add an initialed monogram to make the watch face more personalised.
A red dot can be added to the watch’s home screen too, which will flash every time your iPhone gets a notification too.
In terms of messaging, the Companion app offers the option to switch between sending a dictated transcript or an audio file.
This is because the Apple Watch does not feature a keyboard on which to tap out missives.
The much–heralded Taptic Engine can be switched off when using the on board maps service, disabling the buzzes which are delivered whenever you need to make a left or right turn.
