WatchOS 10 is expected to receive major design upgrades, with a redesigned home screen inspired by iOS.
According to a recent leak from Twitter user @analyst941, the new layout will feature a grid of three apps in a row, allowing users to create folders and move and act more easily.
Uncertainty Regarding Replacement of Current Layout
At present, watchOS offers the Grid and List view for the home screen.

The redesign is expected to make the operating system more familiar to iOS users.
Major Update to watchOS
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently stated in his newsletter Power On that watchOS would receive a major update this year.
