Introducing Social Watchfaces

We’re incredibly excited to announce the release of a brand new feature in Facer 1.5: Social Watchfaces! For the first time on Apple Watch, not only can you create your own watchfaces right from your phone, you can collaborate with your friends, family, or community to build watchfaces together. Selfie competition with your best friend? Trade love notes with your significant other? See what your friends are up to ... or a new Game of Thrones watchface so you never forget to HOLD THE DOOR? You can do it all through the new social watchface.

Create a Watchface & Toss Pictures in

Creating and adding images to your new social watchface is as easy as tossing images into the watch. Flip them in from your camera roll, or switch to the camera and take pictures specifically designed to fit the watch.

Share with Friends, or Invite Collaborators

Share your creations with your friends or make them public for all to use! You can even invite collaborators so you can build watchfaces together.

Like Your Friend’s Pictures using Watch Screenshots!

LOL at your friend’s latest watchface? Best sunset photo ever? Show your friends you like their image right from your watch! Just hit the 2 buttons on your watch at the same time and we’ll let them know you liked it!

Get Started Today!

Social watchfaces are available in Facer 1.5 in the App Store today! If you’ve already got the app, just upgrade from the App Store, or if you are new to Facer, download it now!

Steps to enter:

1)    Download the Facer app from iTunes

2)    Choose the WWDC 2016 Social Watchface and sync to your watch

3)    Take pictures of the scavenger hunt items and add them to the social watchface

4)    Each picture you take and add to the album of items #1-#4 will give you an entry to win a $50 iTunes gift card.

Sounds easy, right?!

OK, now on to the fun stuff…WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

1)    Party time!  Take a photo of any WWDC related party.  Don’t know of any?  Here’s a fun list of suggestions

2)    Selfie with an Apple employee. Don’t be shy!  Get a photo at any Apple employee.  Most of them are wearing Apple shirts, so they should be easy to find :)

3)    Celebrity sighting.  You know they’re there.  Tim Cook counts!

4)    Apple Watch pile-up.  We know you’re not the only one wearing yours.  Get a photo with more than two Apple Watches present.
