Apple releases watchOS 8

Apple today released watchOS 8 to owners of all Apple Watch models from the Series 3 onward, and along comes a few new watch faces, new workout and fitness additions, enhanced sleep tracking, and more. 

If you're interested in checking out Pocket-lint's robust overview of all the new features included in watchOS 8, click here. 

First up are some new watch faces, which include an all-new Portrait Watch Face that automatically pulls photos from your gallery and creates a unique bokeh effect with the subject's face being placed in front of the digital time indicator. A little software trickery almost gives the impression of a three-dimensional image. 

Apple is also including support for new workout tracking, specifically for Pilates and Tai Chi. On top of that, the company is transitioning the Breathe app into a new app titled Mindfulness, which is supposed to encompass the typical spiritual breathing reminders along with some prompts for self-reflection. 

When sleep tracking now, Apple Watch will now take note of your respiratory rate, which is supposed to give you an overall better picture of your health and wellness.
