You can even download various apps to your smart watch.  Plus, you can use your Apple Watch screen as a flashlight when you desperately need a light to see in a dark room, for example.  And while this particular feature does a pretty decent job, Apple may be working on adding a proper flashlight to its Apple Watches.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/image-ppubs.uspto.gov\/dirsearch-public\/print\/downloadPdf\/20230393635\" class=\"external\">new patent application<\/a> Dubbed \u201cModular Lighting Assembly for a Wearable Device,\u201d Apple could be working on a way to add a modular lighting assembly \u2013 a flashlight said in a not-so-sophisticated way \u2013 to the Apple Watch band (via <span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/23\/12\/07\/apple-wants-to-add-a-flashlight-to-future-apple-watches\" class=\"external\">AppleInsider<\/a><\/span>).
