  • The watchOS 26.5 face supports one to 12 custom colours, radial or linear gradients, and rectangle or circle layouts, while iOS 26.5 adds matching Lock Screen and Home Screen wallpaper.
  • The animated design compresses into slim coloured lines on a black background when devices are inactive, then expands and slowly shifts colours when raised or unlocked.
  • Apple says release candidates are out now, with public updates expected as soon as next week; the face requires both iOS 26.5 and watchOS 26.5.

How does Apple reconcile its public Pride support with App Store policies that have restricted queer community platforms like Sniffies?
