Apple is bringing third-party Control Center widgets to watchOS 26

Apple is holding its annual Worldwide Developers Conference next week where we’ll see its latest operating systems which are expected to see a major visual overhaul and new naming scheme. According to a new report from 9to5Mac, watchOS 26 will offer third-party widgets in the Control Center. This has been a longtime request for Apple Watch users who have so far only had access to Apple’s first-party apps and toggles in the drop-down menu. Users will also be able to fully customize the widget placement on their smartwatch via the Apple Watch app on their iPhone. Source
