Apple today seeded the second beta of watchOS 27<\/a> to developers, with the update coming two weeks after the launch of the first beta.<\/p>\n

\"watchos
The beta can be downloaded through the Watch app on the iPhone with a free developer account. The Apple Watch will need to be on the charger, connected to Wi-Fi, and have a battery level of 50 percent or above for new software to be installed. The beta is available for all Apple Watch models compatible with \u200cwatchOS 27\u200c except for the Apple Watch Ultra 3<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u200cwatchOS 27\u200c will include Siri<\/a> AI, the smarter, more capable version of \u200cSiri\u200c. \u200cSiri\u200c can hold back-and-forth conversations, plus it has access to general world knowledge and your personal data to answer questions and find information. \u200cSiri\u200c AI on Apple Watch requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence<\/a>, including the iPhone 15 Pro and later.<\/p>\n

There’s a new Dynamic app grid that highlights \u200cSiri\u200c suggested apps, and more intuitive Smart Stack Suggestions. You can find your parked car, see pinned messages, get noise alerts, and view identity and transit cards.<\/p>\n

Liquid Glass has been updated to improve legibility, and Workout Buddy works on the Apple Watch even when an iPhone isn’t nearby. Workout Buddy also gains new metrics like progressive increases to distance, pace, or duration. Apple added a new all-in-one Find My<\/a> app with support for Precision Finding, and there are performance optimizations that improve battery life.<\/p>\n
