This Apple Watch app lets you watch YouTube videos on your wrist

Source: 9to5Mac

If you ever thought you needed to watch YouTube videos on your wrist, this Apple Watch app will let you do just that. WatchTube allows you to watch just about any YouTube video on your smartwatch. You can download the app directly from the watchOS App Store. When you have it installed, you can already start watching. 

The app has four sections: Home, Search, Library, and Settings. The Home section will default show you trending videos on the platform. But you can choose specific video categories to show in this section. You can use dictation and scribbling to look for a video in the app, with a search highlighting top results for videos and channels.

The app will also let you subscribe to channels and save videos later in the Library tab. However, WatchTube's library is local, so you can't link it to your YouTube account. You can share videos via a QR code that you can scan on your iPhone or iPad.

WatchTube even supports video captions and the option to change the text size. It can use the Watch's built-in speaker for sound if you don't have your AirPods or Bluetooth headphones. The developer plans to introduce an audio-only mode in the future so you can listen to songs on the platform without keeping your Apple Watch display enabled. WatchTube is available for free download. It requires an Apple Watch running watchOS 6 or later to work.
