 WatchOS 9 public beta is now available for all Apple Watches starting with Series 4. You’ll also need to have the iOS 16 public beta installed on your iPhone. Both updates are free to download from Apple, but you should be cautious when installing any beta software. Features may change between now and final release, and there may be bugs or elements of instability. If you’re installing a public beta, I highly recommend backing up your Apple Watch and iPhone. Here’s a look at all the new Apple Watch features coming soon!

WatchOS 9 looks fresher and more iPhone-like

One thing I noticed after installing the public beta was the different notification appearances on the Apple Watch. A new banner notification similar to the iPhone now appears at the top of the screen. When a text or email arrives, notifications no longer take up the entire screen unless your watch is inactive or locked.

Siri also borrows some of the same look from the iPhone by showing icons at the bottom of the screen when you summon the virtual assistant. How to swipe up to access Control Center, now you can see text size settings. Before, you had to pop up the Settings menu to change the font size.

Another small but welcome improvement is the battery widget, which you can add to the iOS 16 lock screen. Now you can easily check the battery level on your Apple Watch without unlocking your phone. If you put the watch on the charger, it can even reflect the charging status in real time.

New watch faces take full advantage of the Apple Watch Series 7 screen

There are four new watch faces to choose from:

1. Metropolitan: A customizable clock face with complications and numerals that moves in and out as you turn the digital crown

2. Astronomy: Higher resolution than before, you can now see hourly updated cloud coverage

3. Playtime: As the name describes, big bouncy numbers float around the screen and move when you tap the screen or rotate the crown

4. Lunar calendar: The lunar calendar is displayed when the crown is rotated

WatchOS 9 enhances workout app with more screens

The new multisport mode automatically lets you link two or even three activities together at once, without the need to manually stop, restart, or add another workout using the Add function. You might be competing in a triathlon, or just want to jump right off the bike for a run. WatchOS 9 will automatically detect when you start this new activity and switch between workout types as you do.

Even more exciting are the heart rate zones. Your Apple Watch can now show you your heart rate zone at any given moment during your workout. Based on your personal estimated maximum heart rate, you can be alerted when entering different zones. This can help you understand how hard your heart is working during cardio and if you’re reaching your limit. All of these zones are fully customizable and you can change them by going to Settings > Exercise > Heart Rate Zones.

WatchOS 9 is built for runners

For the first time, Apple Watch will be able to display running form metrics in the Workout app, including vertical swing, stride length, touchdown time and running power metrics. These also appear after you run the Activity app on the iPhone.

You can now create custom workouts by tapping three dots before starting an activity to set personalized distance and time goals that may better fit your training program. You’ll also see a new feature called Pacer here. This allows you to choose the distance and desired finish time, and the watch will then give you the speed you need to reach that goal, alerting you when you’re above or below that speed.

improved dictation

Now, WatchOS 9 goes a step further and automatically inserts punctuation into sentences as you speak. No more saying “period” and “comma” or awkward “question marks” to manually add punctuation. This should be on by default, but if not, go to Settings > General > Dictation and turn on automatic punctuation.

Your iPhone can now control and mirror your Apple Watch

Just as Assistive Touch on WatchOS 8 let you control your watch by moving the muscles in your hands and arms, Apple Watch Mirroring on WatchOS 9 changes the accessibility game. It allows you to mirror your Apple Watch on your iPhone, so you can control every aspect of your watch by touching the larger iPhone screen. It even lets you use the digital crown and side buttons.

On iPhone, go to Settings > Accessibility > Apple Watch Mirroring. You’ll now see some simulations of your Apple Watch live on your phone.

 If you have an Apple Watch, it’s not always obvious if you’re running the latest version of the Apple watchOS operating system. Here’s how to check for updates and how to perform them. Let’s have a look!

Apple Watch update related to iPhone update

Before updating your Apple Watch, you need to update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS. That’s because watchOS updates are currently tied to iOS updates, and you can’t get them separately. If your iPhone isn’t running the latest iOS version, you won’t see the latest watchOS update on your Apple Watch or the Watch app on your iPhone.

Usually, you will see the update automatically

As long as your iPhone is fully updated and your Apple Watch is connected to the Internet, your Apple Watch will usually alert you when a new update is available.

If you tap this screen and select the “Update Tonight” option while your watch is on your wrist, your Apple Watch will tell you that it will try to automatically install the update later tonight. For your watch to update overnight, it must be on a charger and connected to Wi-Fi. The installation will begin when your Apple Watch’s battery is at 50% or higher.

If you want to update now, open the settings on your watch and tap “Software Update.” Next, tap Download and Install or Install and place your Apple Watch on the charger. The installation will start automatically when the update is fully downloaded and the watch’s battery is at 50% or higher.

How to check for watchOS updates on Apple Watch

To manually check for watchOS updates on your Apple Watch, activate your Watch and open the Settings app, which looks like a gray gear. When the settings open, tap “General” and then select “Software Update.” If your Apple Watch is completely up to date, you’ll see the “Apple Watch is up to date” message on the screen. Otherwise, if a watchOS update is available, you’ll see the update’s version number listed, along with a brief description of the new features or bug fixes in that release.

To install the update, scroll down and tap “Download and Install” or “Install”, then place the watch on the charger. After downloading the update, Apple Watch will wait until its battery is at 50% or higher to install the update. Once that mark is reached, the installation will begin.

How to Check for Apple Watch Updates on iPhone

If you want to use your iPhone to check for Apple Watch system updates, first find and launch the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Once loaded, tap on the watch you want to check for updates. Then, scroll down and tap “General,” then select “Software Update.”

The Watch app will check for updates, and if it’s completely up to date, you’ll see the “Your Apple Watch is up to date” message. In this case, you are done and you can exit the Watch app.

However, if a watchOS update is available, you’ll see it listed, along with information about the features of the latest version.

If you want to install the update right away, put your Apple Watch on a charger near your iPhone. Click Download and Install or Install. Enter your password if necessary. The installation will begin when the battery in your Apple Watch is at 50% or higher.
