Once a year, Apple releases a new version of watchOS, an app used on the Apple Watch. This comes with free updates and news that often solve a technical problem.
The latest version is watchOS 6, which has brought the Calculator and App Store to your wrist for the first time. In addition, it is now also possible to track long-term career trends, among other new features.
WatchOS 6 became available to the public on September 19 and we'll see if Apple decides to announce the next new version WWDC 2020. Here we show you how to install the latest watOS on your Apple Watch.
Which Apple Watches is compatible with watOS 6?
All Apple Watch models are compatible with watOS 6 except the original Apple Watch. This means that the Apple Watch Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 are also, in addition to the Series 4 reasonably priced.
The latest generation, Apple Watch Series 5, comes with watchOS 6 installed, so you don't need to follow the steps below to get it. In any case, you'll need an iPhone with iOS 13 to use it.
How to update your Apple Watch
To update your Apple Watch to the latest version of watoos you'll need your iPhone. In addition, you will need to have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi activated on both devices. You will also need to have a watch charge and more than 50% battery.
Take the phone and open the Apple Watch app. Make sure you are in the & # 39; My Book & # 39; tab (at the bottom of the screen) and touch & # 39; Normal & # 39 ;. Most likely, you'll see a red circle with number 1. That indicates that there is an update pending.
Tap on the & # 39; Software Update & # 39; to look for available updates and wait for them to show you. Finally, tap & # 39; Install & # 39; download the update and accept the terms and conditions.
Renewal may take a while. Wait for it to finish linking it to power. If you do, the process will be interrupted and that could damage your device. We talk about our experiences (we had to replace it).
How to get the beta version of watchOS
Unlike iOS and macOS, Apple has not released a public beta version of watOS. This means that the only ones who can test the latest version of the app in advance are developers who sign up for the Apple Beta Software Program.
If so, you can install the beta version of watOS on your Apple Watch and try out all its new features before anyone else the next time Apple releases an update. This will certainly be before the following September of watchOS 7.
