Here are all the new features expected to come to your Apple Watch later this year

You may soon be able to share your specific watch face configuration with others, according to 9to5Mac, which reported that this appears to be a supported feature in watchOS 7.

The Apple Watch allows you to customize Apple Watch faces with complications, or specific pieces of information from apps and services that update in real time. Complications can include the three rings from Apple's Activity app, the weather, your calendar, and a slew of other options.

Based on 9to5Mac's report, it sounds like you'll be able to share your watch face with these specific customizations with other people through the iPhone's share sheet.

The Apple Watch may finally have parental controls, according to 9to5Mac.

With the future software update, a parent may be able to manage a child's Apple Watch directly from their iPhone, the report says. While you can currently pair more than one Apple Watch to your iPhone, only one Apple Watch can remain actively connected to your iPhone at a time. That means if you own more than one Apple Watch, you'll have to switch between them.

But if 9to5Mac's report turns out to be accurate, a parent could manage both their own and their child's Apple Watch without having to switch.

A parent may also be able to manage which apps and complications are accessible on a child's Apple Watch during certain hours of the day through a feature called School Time, according to the report.

One of the headlining features of the next Apple Watch, and Apple's next software update for the watch, is expected to be sleep tracking. Bloomberg first reported that Apple is testing sleep tracking capabilities for the Apple Watch back in February 2019, but based on that report it's unclear whether this feature would be software-enabled or based on new hardware.

A report from 9to5Mac in September 2019 provided more detail about how sleep tracking on the Apple Watch would work. The watch would be capable of tracking a person's movement and heart rate during sleep, and data about your slumber would be accessible in Apple's Health app and a new sleep app for the Apple Watch.

In addition to providing data about your sleep, the Apple Watch may be able to help you meet specific sleep-oriented goals, according to 9to5Mac. The publication reported that Apple Watch owners will be able to set sleep goals on the device and will receive tips for improving sleep through Apple's Health app.

If Apple keeps with the current naming convention it's used for Apple Watch updates so far, we can probably expect the next update to be called watchOS 7, the seventh generation of Apple's smartwatch software.

In September, Apple launched watchOS 6, which brought the ability to download apps directly onto the watch and new health-tracking options, among other capabilities.
