Apple today seeded the fifth beta of an upcoming watchOS 11 update to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming two weeks after the fourth beta was released.
To install the ??watchOS 11? update, developers need to open the Apple Watch app, go to the Software Update section under “General” in Settings, and toggle on the ?watchOS 11? Developer Beta. An Apple ID linked to a developer account is required.
Once beta updates have been activated, ?watchOS 11? can be downloaded under the same Software Update section. To install software, an Apple Watch needs to have 50 percent battery life and it must be placed on an Apple Watch charger.
?watchOS 11? introduces a new Vitals app that aggregates health metrics collected during sleep like heart rate and respiratory rate, providing day-to-day health insights to track whether something has changed. There’s also a Training Load feature for monitoring the intensity of workouts and how that impacts the body over time.
The Smart Stack has been updated with new widgets and support for Live Activities and Translate, plus it is better able to suggest widgets based on time and daily routine. The Photos watch face includes suggestions for the best images to use, and the Check In safety feature now works with Workouts.
Activity Rings can be customized to change the goals for each day, and there is an option to pause for rest days or when ill without losing an activity streak. Double Tap now works for navigating through apps with one hand, and Apple Maps lets users create their own walking and hiking routes.Related Roundups: watchOS 10, watchOS 11Related Forum: Apple WatchThis article, “Apple Seeds Fifth Beta of watchOS 11 to Developers” first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
