In addition to launching the eighth beta for iOS 17 and iPad OS 17, Apple has also released the eighth beta of watchOS 10 today. While we are nearing the end of the beta phase here, we should see one more beta next week and then beta 10 would be the release candidate (likely coming shortly after the iPhone event).
So this version of watchOS 10 should be pretty much final. Apple is really focused on squashing bugs with watchOS 10 now, and not adding new features to the update.
This is the developer beta, but we expect to see the public beta launching in a few hours. The last few weeks, we’ve seen the public beta launch a bit later on the same day as the developer beta.
What’s new in watchOS 10?
Out of all of the new platforms that are coming this fall, watchOS 10 is likely the biggest update. It got a pretty big redesign, though many might say it still looks the same. And, fair. The two major changes that Apple made is with the new widgets. And how you access quick settings. So now when you swipe up on your watch, you’re not opening quick settings, but instead opening a widget stack. Currently, it’s all third-party widgets, but we’d expect that to change in the future.
And now, to open quick settings. You need to press the side button. The app drawer has also been redesigned a bit. It still has a honeycomb-like layout, but now it is scrolling up and down, instead of all around. So it’s a bit easier to get around.
Apple has also included a couple of new watchfaces – Palette and Snoopy. Which many are in love with.
This should be a pretty stable build of the beta, so if you’re willing to check it out on your Apple Watch, now is a good time to do so. Just head to Settings > General > Software Update. Switch from iOS 16 to the iOS 17 Developer Beta or Public Beta. And then you can download the update.The post watcOS 10 Beta 8 is now available for download appeared first on Android Headlines.
