While Apple Watch packs a lot of features to help users make the most out of it even without having a phone nearby, watching YouTube videos is not one of them. Well, not anymore. An independent app developer has created an app called WatchTube that lets you watch YouTube videos right from your Apple Watch.
Watch YouTube Videos on Apple Watch
WatchTube is a novel Apple Watch app that you can use to tune in to videos from your Apple Watch. Designed with Apple Watch’s small form factor in mind, theapp works on watchOS 6 and later. You can download the app from App Store and choose to join the beta program through TestFlight.
There are four sections in the app, namely, Home, Search, Library, and Settings. The Home section can be customized to show the type of videos you want to watch. However, you won’t be able to link your YouTube account to the app.
WatchTube is not the only app that’s pushing the limits of what the Apple Watch can do. We recently found out about theWristcam appthat allows you to make video calls via the Apple Watch.
