When you love someone you want them near all the time. While that may not be practical when going about your day-to-day life, with your Apple Watch and a few apps, you can keep their picture, voice and shared memories on your wrist until you see them in person again.

Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day… with so many special dates to remember, it’s easy for one to slip your mind. Never be caught off guard again with these apps.

You can add them as widgets to your Home Screen, or to your Apple Watch for even more convenient checking.

Taking selfies as a couple can be a tricky and awkward endeavour – unless you use your Apple Watch as a remote control for the shutter. Set up your iPhone somewhere stable and use your Apple Watch’s built-in Camera Remote app to frame, zoom, adjust focus and take a photo, all from your wrist.

In addition to the native Camera app, this feature is also supported by ProCam 8 and Camera+.

No matter how busy you get, it’s important to find time to check in with your significant other. Between is a platform made for the two of you, where you can communicate and express yourself in a safe space.

If you’re not sure how to say what you feel, let the app’s adorable stickers do the talking for you. All the messages you send are between you and your partner only, so there’s no chance of accidentally sending a lovey-dovey message or emotion to someone else.

Missing your partner? Keep their contact in the most important place on your Apple Watch, so you can give them a voice or FaceTime call anytime you want.

Just looking at a picture of your loved one will bring a smile to your face, so add their photo to your Apple Watch. Your Watch can rotate up to 24 photos, so you can change up the happy memories featured.
