Apple watchOS 3.2 News & Updates: Apple Releases watchOS 4th Beta Version, Should You Update?
Weeks before the official launching of the hotly-anticipated watchOS 3.2, Apple Inc has finally released the 4th beta version of the firm's mobile operating system for its iconic wearables. The seeding has been rolled out a week after its third beta version was shipped off.
MacRumors reports that Cuperino-based company Apple Inc has officially released the fourth beta of the forthcoming watchOS 3.2 update to developers for testing purposes. Its fourth beta version was released a month after watchOS 3.1.3 was launched. 3.1.3 is the current public version of the firm's operating system for its watches.
The same publication has shared that the fourth beta version of watchOS 3.2 can be downloaded through the dedicated Apple Watch app on iPhone. The users can head to "General" then "Software Update" as soon as they're able to install the proper configuration in their iPhones. For the users to install the update efficiently, they must ensure that their wearables have 50 percent batteryand should be placed on the charger. In addition, the watch should be in range with the iPhone.
9to5Mac shares that watchOS 3.2 requires an iPhone to be running iOS 10 to install and should only be available to developers at the moment. As such, the company doesn't make watchOS betas available to the public as downgrading won't be an available option should the consumer decide to do so.
Some of watchOS 3.2's included features are "Theater Mode" in which users can quickly mute their Apple Watches' sound. It also allows them to disable the "Raise To Wake" feature that would prevent the screen from lighting up due to an arm movement. Meanwhile, users will also be able to receive haptic feedback-based notifications while the information can be viewed by either tapping on the screen or pressing down the digital crown.
SiriKit will also make its debut on Apple Watch via the watchOS 3.2. It will allow customers to ask Siri to send messages, send payments or even book a ride among other tasks. SiriKit was first introduced on Apple devices that run iOS 10.
