watchOS 7
For the first time this year, Apple’s watchOS 7 was also available to early adopters as a public beta, which means that this also doesn’t offer quite as many surprises as previous watchOS versions have, and as is usually the case with Apple’s wearable, there’s not quite as much packed in here either.
What watchOS 7 does bring to the table, however, is quite interesting, including new Sleep Tracking and Handwashing Detection features, along with the usual collection of new Watch Faces and the ability to take the standard watch faces, dress them up with your favourite complications, and then share them with other Apple Watch users either directly or by posting them online.
The watchOS 7 update also adds support for the new Family Setup feature that Apple unveiled yesterday, which was something that we didn’t previously know was coming (although there had been some sporadic rumours), which will allow you to use your iPhone to set up additional Apple Watches for family members who don’t have their own iPhones, such as kids or elderly parents.
Naturally, watchOS 7 requires iOS 14 on your iPhone, so you’ll need to download and install that first before heading into the iPhone Watch app to grab the latest watchOS update.
