Less than a week after Cupertino tech giant Apple released its sixth watchOS 3.2 beta, the seventh beta update is already available. The newest rendition was made for testing through the Apple Watch app and iPhones will serve as a conduit for the download. WatchOS 3.2 is yet to replace the current 3.1.3 public version of the operating system.
While watchOS 3.2 is only available to developers, here are some of the rundowns of what this new operating system can offer. After all, it is prudent for the public to know what watchOS 3.2 can do since the OS can't be downgraded once installed on the Apple Watch. This handicap prompted the company to let the developers review the OS first before unleashing to the public.
Topping among the salient features of watchOS 3.2 is non-intrusive options known as "theater mode." This allows Apple Watch owners to mute the sound of their device without much effort - a feature that is especially handy during meetings. Further, Raise to Wake feature can be disabled with watchOS 3.2. This will turn off the auto-lights up even with slight arm movement, according to MacRumors.
Meanwhile, Apple Watch owners will surely love the availability of SiriKit in watchOS 3.2. Much like the regular Siri in any other iOS, the watch can be told to make calls, send messages, do payments or book a cab. SiriKit is basically an extension of iOS 10 packed to live inside watchOS 3.2, according to the Apple website.
For those who are excited to install watchOS 3.2 once the stable version became available, here is how to do it. As a requisite, Apple Watch owners need to ensure that their iPhones are running iOS 10. Then they have to go to the General tab in the System Preferences and run Software Update. Apple Watch will automatically install the update from then on, provided that it has at least 50 percent of battery or charging during the process.
