Apple may welcome third-party face support for its Watch
San Francisco, April 16: Apple may allow third party developers to create and release their own customised faces for Apple watch.
According to a report in 9to5Mac on Sunday, the update is seen in a code that is part of the latest developer's build.
The uncovered code in watchOS 4.3.1 hints at updates like warnings for old apps, in addition to a log message that states "this is where the 3rd party face configuration bundle generation would happen".
There's no indication about when Apple will allow this to happen but it seems to be a step in favour of those who are not happy with the present options in its Watch.
Apple is expected to unveil WatchOS 5 at this year's Worldwide Developers' Conference (WWDC) starting in San José in the US on June 4.
Apple launched the current WatchOS during the 2017 WWDC.

K'taka cops arrest X user ‘Bhiku Mhatre’ for controversial post on Siddaramaiah, Congress manifesto
Bengaluru: A social media user calling himself ‘Bhiku Mhatre’ and working on ‘X’ with the handle ‘@MumbaichaDon’ was arrested by the Karnataka Cyber Crime Police in Goa on Saturday for sharing an edited video clip of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and posting a message targeting Muslims on the social platform.
The police arrested Mhatre in Ponda, a city in South Goa, based on a complaint by J Saravanan, a Congress worker from Bengaluru on April 29, accusing Mhatre of posting an edited video clip of the CM speaking on reservation for minorities and making objectionable comments on the post with the clip. Saravanan has accused Mhatre of attempting to incite enmity and hatred among communities as well as tarnish the image of the Congress party. A case was registered against Mhatre under section 153(a) of the Indian Penal Code and section 66(c) of the Information Technology Act.
The social media user had posted on April 22, “Throw this in the face of Every Liberal & Every Piddi who was arguing that CONgress Manifesto doesn’t mention ‘Mu$£ims’ specifically & it includes SC/STs Also. CONgress WANTS TO TAKE AWAY WEALTH FROM HINDUS & DISTRIBUTE TO MU$£IMS ‘ONLY’ AS IT HATES HINDUS INCL. SC/STs.”
While the post on ‘X’ has been deleted, the user insisted that he had never posted anything that could be considered communal and alleged that the Congress was attempting to intimidate him for speaking the truth. Hours before his arrest in Ponda too, Mhatre shared a screenshot of an email from the legal team of ‘X’, indicating that the Magistrate of the Bengaluru Court had issued an order regarding his account.
The BJP, in support of the arrested, has slammed the Congress government in Karnataka, alleging that the arrest was an abuse of power. Leaders of the party assured that Mhatre would be provided legal support in the matter.
Amit Malviya, who is the head of the BJP IT Cell, posted on Saturday, “Karnataka Police has arrested @MumbaichaDon from Goa. We are in touch with his family and will ensure he gets all legal support. Congress has unleashed anarchy and is intolerant of dissent. But there won’t be another #Emergency in this country, ever.”
