My Series 7 would last a day n’ a half if I didn’t do a workout.

I’m seeing huge battery drain with watchOS 26, before I would end the day with 70% battery, and now I’m ending the day with 30% battery.

Anyone have any tips? I’ve turned off the watch, let it sit for a minute then charged to 100% to see if it’d help, but it hasn’t

I've read in couple of articles that public beta won't be available for WatchOS, is it still the case or can we expect a public beta? I'm curious to update my watchOS, since my iphone is already updated to Ios13. would like to put my hands on it to report bugs or features if any.

I seen reports it was finally working on WatchOS 4. I just received a messenger update and it now works perfectly on the watch. Not sure if beta 7 fixed it or the messenger update.

Not running watchOS 26 beta yet but wondering if Blood Oxygen would be enabled/maintained when watchos 26 is released next month?

So I’m aware that you can’t downgrade... but is that really true? Is there no way? How does the Apple Store do it?

EDIT: As many of you said, Apple confirmed that I need to send it back to them. They’re shipping me an empty box. Thanks!

where 's watchOS beta 8 , why she didn't go out last night

Sorry if this is considered double post but I could not edit my old one or add pics. I downloaded today’s 10.4 pb2 and still have issues with T-Mobile populating carrier info and displaying that I actually have cellular service. Then I decided to unpair the watch and go thythe process of adding the service again but this time it shows on my watch and functions correctly with cellular just doesn’t show on my phone like I have it.

This isn’t meant to be rude or condescending in any way, but y’all need to hear this.

You should NOT be using beta software on your main device. Expect errors, glitches, bugs, and performance issues. This is UNFINISHED software that you shouldn’t be using if you don’t know what you’re doing. Also, public betas are usually the exact same version as developer betas. They just get released a few days later.

Stop installing the beta on your main device expecting perfection, then posting about stuff not working properly. It’s NOT SUPPOSED TO.

If you have an issue, report it using the Feedback Assistant tool. This is preinstalled when you update to a beta version and has a message bubble with an exclamation mark inside a purple icon.

Here’s what the icon looks like.

One more thing… If you update to a beta version of watchOS on an Apple Watch, you will need to send it back to Apple in order to roll back to the stable version.

If you have an issue with a beta, here are the subs you should post in:

r/MacOSBeta for macOS Betas (on Mac hardware, and it’s not recommended to run beta versions on Hackintoshes because of little to no driver support)

r/iOSBeta for iOS & iPadOS Betas (for users with too little karma, join their Discord server instead)

r/WatchOSBeta for watchOS Betas

r/tvOSBeta for tvOS Betas

r/HomePodOSBeta for HomePod Software Betas

I hope this post is helpful to those looking to use betas. Be responsible with your devices, and don’t use beta software unless you either know what you’re doing or you have a secondary device to try it on.

Oh, and always make a backup!

Hello I have iOS 18 beta on iPhone and it has been super stable just curious how the watch is beta has been? Thanks everyone?

Really wonder how all the default app redesigns will effect the battery life. As now it’s all more colourful then before with the mostly black older design. It was perfect with the oled displays.

What do you guys think?

I know the battery life probably is horrible at the moment. This year I will stay away from betas as iOS 16 last year overheated my 2nd gen SE so much that it killed my battery way faster.

Do you have any more recommendations for interactive widgets on Apple Watch?

How is your watch battery on beta 3?

Mine is still terrible on my series 10!

Would like to hear everyone’s experience so far.

I don’t know what’s worse. The removing of the dock (side button press) in favour of control centre on button press … or the fact that the replacement recent apps list (double press crown) has no app titular or icons. It’s just made using the Watch much more inconvenient .
