Related news claimsApple plans to support third-party widget operation functions in the upcoming watchOS 12 (or watchOS 26), and will be able to add them to its control center interface for intuitive use. This means that in addition to the default flight mode, silent switch, battery display or flashlight functions, users can also add more third-party control functions.
In addition, compared to the current situation where users can only edit and adjust items in the Control Center on Apple Watch, Apple will allow users to edit directly through the Watch App on iPhone.
The addition of support for third-party widget control means that the Apple Watch's functionality will become more diverse, making it easier for users to operate various functions when wearing it alone or to connect with other devices and services.
However, it is not yet confirmed whether Apple will announce this update at the upcoming WWDC 2025, and there may even be different changes.
In addition to watchOS, previous rumors indicated that Apple plans to unify the naming method of its operating system versions, adjusting them to be identified by year to make it easier for users to confirm the newness of the current version.
