To date, when you access your Apple Watch’s Control Center — which you get to by pressing the side button on the right — you’ve only had access to Apple’s default toggles/shortcuts for doing things like turning on airplane mode, accessing your flashlight, or pinging your iPhone’s location.
By giving access to third-party apps, it’ll allow you to customize your Apple Watch’s Control Center in new ways. (Note: you’ll be able to adjust and customize the Control Center via your Apple Watch app on your iPhone.)
9to5Mac‘s report doesn’t specify which third-party apps will be supported, but you can imagine that you’ll be able to launch music apps (like Spotify), workout apps (like Strava), food delivery apps or smart home apps. All right from the Control Center.
It’s admittedly a simple change, but it promises to give you the ability to make your Apple Watch better work for you. And that’s important.
