Steps
- On your iPhone, find the True Native Watch Face you want to install (e.g., Cyberpunk) and tap Install.
(You may see a warning when installing from iPhone — just ignore it and tap Continue.)

- If Step 1 works correctly, your watch should display something like this. (If the Watch Face is completely black/blank → Manually add True Native complications)
- On your Apple Watch, tap the text in the middle complication → open Walbum on the watch → tap Set True Native Watch Face.
- Tap Sync (this step syncs your True Native Watch Face type and membership). If syncing fails, see → Sync failed To change the type of True Native Watch Face, tap Modify. Once confirmed, tap Next.

- Enable the necessary permissions for the Watch Face.
- Tap the Reload button to refresh the Watch Face.

- Press the Digital Crown to return to your Watch Face.

Q&A
I tapped “Add Watch Face” on iPhone, but the Watch Face is black/blank.
Sync failed when setting the True Native Watch Face type on Apple Watch.
- Check Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on
- Restart iPhone & Apple Watch
- Keep both Walbum (on iPhone & Watch) open in the foreground
Why doesn’t the Blood Oxygen feature show, even though I enabled Health access?
- Confirm Health access is enabled: iPhone → Health → Sharing tab → Apps → Walbum.
(If empty, open iPhone → Walbum App → Pregnancy Watch Face → Permissions to enable.)
- Only Apple Watch Series 7+ supports Blood Oxygen; some SE models do not.
- In Walbum Watch app → tap Refresh Watch Face.
- Restart iPhone & Apple Watch.
- Update both devices to the latest version.
I set some info on my iPhone (e.g., commute time), but it doesn’t sync to the Watch.
- Make sure you tap Sync in Walbum on the Watch.
- Restart iPhone & Apple Watch.
- Update both devices to the latest version.
