Many people can’t stop thinking about the launch of the next iPhone 16 with iOS 18, but the truth is that I’m more anxious about the Update for Apple Watch and its different models. WatchOS 11 is the new version that is being prepared for the smart watches of the American brand and we already know a lot of information about it.
The presentation of watchOS 11 and its respective launch is closer than you think. This will happen during the iPhone 16 announcement event, where the new Apple Watch Series 10 will also be presented to the world if that is its name. Other devices such as the Apple Watch Ultra 3 could make an appearance along with some other surprises from the company.
All about WatchOS 11
This information is completely official Apple has already confirmed some of the new features of watchOS 11 for its smartwatches. The main new features focus on health monitoring and customization, as well as improvements that will make your Apple Watch a much more versatile and intelligent device. These are some of the main features that Apple has confirmed:
Your health is the most important thing
Apple wants to catch up with Samsung in terms of health monitoring and is therefore preparing several improvements in this area. Among them, the customization of the activity rings stands out, so you can adjust your goals or pause the activity for a certain period. Your Apple Watch will also be able to define your vital signs while you sleep and makes recommendations when it perceives that a factor may be harming your physical condition, such as blood pressure, medication, alcohol, etc. Its ability to control the physical load of exercise and measure the impact on your body is also noteworthy.
Personalization in pure iPhone style
This was something that Apple users had been clamoring for, and watchOS 11 will finally fulfill it. Your Apple Watch will be able to Analyze the photos in your gallery and find the best one for your watch. At the same time, it will find the best frame and composition for the screen and give it a 3D effect over the time and other elements just like customizing the lock screen on iPhone. In addition, you can choose the clock font and colors to adapt it to the background.
New and smarter widgets
WatchOS 11 revolutionizes widgets completely and makes them smarter and more functional. Live Activities like the Uber that’s on the way or your food delivery order will now quickly appear on your smartwatch at a glance. There is a long list of widgets that have been included with the update and that serve to quickly access the exercise load, Shazam, home automation… We are really looking forward to seeing all the possibilities that they offer.
Real-time translation
One of the things we liked most about WatchOS 11 is that it will allow the Translation into more than 20 languages either by typing the text or dictating it using the microphone. It can also play the translation in the corresponding language and when you travel it will automatically add the Translate app widget to the new Smart Group option.
The watch OS 11 release date is scheduled for the same day as the launch of the iPhone 16, which is scheduled for September month as usual. There’s about a month left, so get your Apple Watch ready for one of its biggest updates yet.
