Apple launches watchOS 7 beta 3 to developers, public beta coming soon – Africa Daily News

In addition to the release of iOS 14 beta 3, Apple has also released watchOS 7 beta 3 to developers. watchOS 7 includes new features like sleep tracking, new watch face features, fitness improvements, and more.

watchOS 7 beta 3 can be installed by developers through the Apple Watch companion app on iPhone or by heading to the Settings app on the Apple Watch itself. If you don’t see the new beta on your device yet, be sure to keep checking back as it’s still being rolled out for all developers.

watchOS 7 is currently only available for developers, but for the first time, Apple will also release a version for public beta users this month. Interestingly, Apple released the first public beta of iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and tvOS 14 just under two weeks ago, but there is no sign of a macOS 11 Big Sur or watchOS 7 public beta.

Currently, the Apple Beta Software Program website still lists public beta versions of macOS 11 Big Sur and watchOS 7 “coming soon.”

With the launch of watchOS 7 this year, Apple is dropping support for Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch Series 2. This means that these models will stay true to watchOS 6 while being updated to watchOS 7 when it releases this fall:

watchOS 7 adds a variety of new features to the Apple Watch, including support for sharing the watch face. You can now create and share faces with other people, but developers can also offer pre-configured faces in their app, while you can also add faces from the web.

Sleep tracking is also now supported on Apple Watch, while the Workouts app has been updated with new dance workouts and improved calorie tracking for things like core workout, times charging and functional training.
