As well as iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6, Apple also released watchOS 7.5 and now we get to have a look at the latest version of Apple’s watchOS.
The new watchOS 7.5 software update is available for the Apple Watch Series 3, Apple Watch Series 4, Apple Watch Series 5, the Apple Watch SE, and the Apple Watch Series 6. The video below from Zollotech gives us a look at the new features in the software.
New Features in watchOS 7.5
As we can see from the video, this update adds support for Podcast Subscriptions in the Podcasts app, Apple Card Family, support for the ECG feature in Malaysia and Peru, and more. The Podcast Subscriptions feature allows users to subscribe to their favorite podcasts directly from their Apple Watch, making it easier to stay updated with the latest episodes. This is particularly useful for users who are always on the go and prefer to manage their subscriptions without needing to use their iPhone.
The Apple Card Family feature is another significant addition. This feature allows users to share their Apple Card with family members, enabling them to build credit together and manage spending with a shared credit limit. This can be particularly beneficial for families looking to manage their finances more effectively and teach younger members about responsible credit use.
ECG and Other Health Features
The support for the ECG feature in Malaysia and Peru is a notable expansion of Apple’s health monitoring capabilities. The ECG app allows users to take an electrocardiogram directly from their wrist, providing critical data that can help detect irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation. This feature has been life-saving for many users and its availability in more countries underscores Apple’s commitment to global health.
In addition to these major features, watchOS 7.5 includes various bug fixes and performance improvements. These updates ensure that the Apple Watch continues to run smoothly and efficiently, providing users with a reliable and seamless experience.
The new watchOS 7.5 software update is now available to download. To install the update, you can use the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Simply open the app, go to My Watch > General > Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure your Apple Watch is connected to its charger and has at least 50% battery life before starting the update process.
