As you have seen this year, tvOS 16 and watchOS 9 did not really generate any major new features, unlike iOS 16 which was a breath of fresh air! However, Apple intends to provide a better user experience with future tvOS 16.1 and watchOS 9.1 updates. The third beta intended exclusively for developers has been available for a few minutes
watchOS 9.1 and tvOS 16.1 beta 3 are available
Apple presents to developers the third beta of watchOS 9.1 and tvOS 16.1 on their Apple Watch and Apple TV. The Californian giant has not revealed the new features that have been added, so you will have to look for small changes when browsing within the OS. Let’s also take into account that these two updates will bring few changes compared to iOS 16.1 which will offer a ton of new features that should normally have been released with iOS 16 on September 12th.
The second beta of tvOS 16.1 added a new screen over a week ago that lets users connect an iPhone for Apple Fitness+ workouts, without the need for an Apple Watch.
For developers who would like to download the beta on their AppleTVhere is the way to go:
- Open the Settings app
- Go to System
- Go to Software Updates
- Validate on “Update software”
As it concerns watchOShere are the steps to follow:
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone
- Go to General
- Go to Software Update
Regarding public testers, it is possible that beta 3 will be deployed soon to your Apple Watch and Apple TV, you will have to be patient. Developers always remain a priority in Apple’s strategy.
