Apple Launches First Public Beta of watchOS 11 with Vitals App and More
Apple has launched the first public beta of watchOS 11, allowing non-developer users to try out the new features planned for the official software release this autumn. The new version can be downloaded after registering on the Apple beta software website and updating your iPhone to the public beta version of iOS 18.Innovations in watchOS 11
With watchOS 11, Apple has added new features and applications. One of these, the Vitals app, gives users a daily view of their health statistics, alerting them to any abnormal changes. The app compares information collected at night, such as heart rate, sleep quality, respiratory rate and oxygen level, to the levels from previous weeks.Smart Widgets and Interaction
New widgets such as Translate and Shazam have been added to the Smart Stack, which has now become even smarter. The software can now suggest widgets based on weather, date, location and the user's daily routine. Interactive widgets allow users to access app features from the Smart Stack, which also supports Live Activities.Training and Activities
The Training Load feature, meanwhile, offers a new way to measure how intense and prolonged physical exercise affects the body over time, with Apple providing an effort level for cardio workouts to help users know when they should slow down their physical activity and when they can intensify it.Personalisation and Rest Day Support
Another new feature is the ability to personalise Activity Ring requirements for different days of the week. Apple has also added support for rest days. This means you can take a break from activity without breaking your activity streak, whether it lasts a day, a week, a month or longer. In summary, watchOS 11 brings a series of other new features, including more exercise types, the Check In feature for Messages, a redesigned Photos watch face, improvements to the Double Tap function, among others. These new features reinforce Apple's position as one of the leading companies in the wearable technology market. Made with AI.
