As well as releasing their new iOS 11.3 beta 5, Apple also released their watchOS 4.3 Beta 5. The latest beta of Apple’s watchOS is now available for developers to download.
New Features in watchOS 4.3
The new watchOS 4.3 will bring a range of new features to the Apple Watch. Some of these new features will include the ability to control your Music Library for iPhone. This feature was actually available on the Apple Watch previously but it was removed when Apple released their watchOS 4. The reintroduction of this feature will be welcomed by many users who enjoyed the convenience of controlling their music directly from their wrist.
In addition to the music control feature, watchOS 4.3 will also include improvements to the Siri watch face. The Siri watch face will now be able to show more relevant information throughout the day, making it even more useful for users. This includes updates on your daily activities, reminders, and other personalized content.
Another notable feature is the new Nightstand mode. When the Apple Watch is placed on its side while charging, it will now display the time in a larger, more readable format. This makes it easier to use the Apple Watch as a bedside clock.
Bug Fixes and Performance Updates
The software also comes with some bug fixes and performance updates. These updates are crucial as they ensure the smooth functioning of the Apple Watch. Some of the bugs addressed in this update include issues with app loading times and connectivity problems. Performance updates will also enhance the overall user experience by making the watch more responsive and efficient.
As this is the fifth beta of the new watchOS 4.3, it will not be very long until the final version of the software is released. We are expecting the software to land sometime later this month along with Apple’s iOS 11.3 software update. The simultaneous release of both updates will provide a seamless experience for users who own both an iPhone and an Apple Watch.
Developers who have access to the beta version are encouraged to test the new features and report any issues they encounter. This feedback is invaluable to Apple as it helps them to refine the software before its official release.
In addition to the new features and bug fixes, watchOS 4.3 will also include security updates. These updates are essential for protecting user data and ensuring the integrity of the device. Apple has always placed a strong emphasis on security, and this update is no exception.
As soon as we get some details on exactly when both updates will be released, we will let you guys know. In the meantime, developers can download the beta version and start exploring the new features and improvements.
