Hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and today apple released
watch os 7 public beta this is the same as watchos 7 developer beta 4.
so you'll have all the major changes that come along with watch os 7 and i'm
going to go over those in this video but i also want to tell you how you can
install watch os 7 on your device using the
public beta now keep in mind if you install this
there is no way to go back to watch os 6 without sending this into apple so be
very careful if it's something you depend on
or you can't afford to have some bugs do not update to this particular version
wait for it to come out to the public later this year
now watch os 7 public beta is pretty nice it has a bunch of new features
and if you want to install it the first thing you'll need is obviously an apple
watch you'll need a series 3 series 4 or
series 5 apple watch this is no longer compatible with
previous versions so you'll need 3 4 or 5 series 1 and 2
unfortunately will not work this is a series 4 apple watch so let's
talk about how to install it and then we'll talk about what's new if
you just want to jump to what's new i'll link those in the description below
so you can jump to that particular point in the video
now the first thing you'll need is your connected iphone so whatever iphone is
connected to your apple watch pick that up then you want to go to
safari and then go to beta.apple.com or you can go to
apple.com beta and it will bring you to this
website now this is what it will look like
after you log in you will first need to sign in with your apple id
once you've signed in you'll be brought to this page
and once you've been signed in and accepted any of the terms what you want
to do is tap on watch os scroll down until you find
you can read all about it and it talks about feedback and everything else
and then you want to scroll down until you find
and roll your apple watch so get started but make sure you read this first
understand what you're getting into and the idea is to try out some early
features so that you can provide feedback and
help apple make it better now tap on can enroll or tap on enroll
your device once you've tapped on that scroll down
then tap on download profile wait for it to
say allow go ahead and hit allow and you'll have the profile
tap on install and then you'll have the profile installed it will reboot your
apple watch and then what you'll do is check for an
update on your apple watch or you can actually check for an update in
the watch app itself so if we go into the watch app
you'll see i already have the beta profile installed
so you can scroll down into your main settings and see profiles here
so you'll see i already have it and then what you want to do is go into your
watch app go to general go to software update and
it will check for an update and it will see watch os 7 and install
it you need to have a 50 charge and have it on the charger
unlocked in order for it to install now if you want to revert to a different
version or get off of the public beta what you need to do is uninstall that
profile so go to your settings under apple watch
scroll down go to profiles tap on the profile
then remove the profile once you've removed it it will reboot your apple
watch and you will not be able to get off of the beta until the next public
version comes out so currently 6.2.8 is out maybe
6.3 or 6.2.9 will come out once that does
that will get you off of the beta so that's the only way to get off of the
beta without sending it to apple so again just a warning don't put it on
your device if you if you need to be on watch os 6 or
depend on it now let's talk about what's new
and so the first thing that's new are some new watch faces
and so you can see here this is the new chronograph pro watch face with a
tachymeter or tachometer and you can tap on the
watch face and it'll give you your different dials or go back and you
have a bunch of different color options for this as well
it may default to blue or white depending on which version you're on but
they've been changing this around if you're in the betas and
you'll see it's a new watch face now this watch face may or may not be
available depending on the series watch you
actually have there's also a new watch face for extra large where you can now
add different complications to it so you'll
see i have the world here so if i tap and edit before you can only
have the time in a large size now we can add complications and so we
can scroll through the different complications that we have
and there's some new ones as well and we'll talk about some of the new
complications they've added in just a moment now the next thing is photos
has some options there's also infograph modular
but photos has some options and if we go to edit
photos now has filters so if i want to change the color
of the photo here you can do that by going through different fold
different filters so you have a bunch of those and then
of course move the position around to where you want to see the photo
now also there's some new pride faces so there's pride digital and pride analog
as well and so you have those as well so you can tap on them and they sort of
wave so that's kind of interesting and then
again they do the same thing on this watch face so there's just a bunch of
new watch faces there may be some more things for you to
explore as well but let's take a look at the new complications and there's a few
of them so we'll go to our complications and
edit and one of the first new ones is a camera remote so now you can remotely
activate the camera on your phone i think you could bring this up before
but now it's just a complication so it's nice that they've added that
they've also added siri shortcuts and you can now add individual shortcuts
so this is just a shortcut i have but there's a few of them
and you can add a few different shortcuts if you'd like scroll through
them in the app itself but now you can just
have one button to access that shortcut we also now have a world clock
complication we have a sleep complication which we'll talk more about
in just a moment and we also have a moon phase
complication as well and so those are the new complications
within now apps can have multiple complications as well now so you can
create maybe your own infograph here with multiple complications from the
same app so you'll see i have two activity app
complications right now so you can have two of the same you can have multiple
ones so for example maybe you have the weather
you have one with humidity from a weather app maybe one with the
temperature and one with say the forecast in it you
can have multiple from one so that you can create your own watch faces later on
and once you've created those watch faces you can now share them by pressing
and holding so you'll see there's a little share
button down here once you press and hold and then you can share it in a message
so you can share that with anyone that has an apple watch they'll be able to
use the watch face as long as they have your
installed app so that's a really nice way to share those
and then you'll be able to access those apps within the app store
and find new ones so i'm not sure they've updated it yet so eventually
there will be new watch faces within the store so that you can
download a bunch of them that people have created so
i'm glad to see more customization with watch faces and it's something that
they've added throughout with watch os 7. now there's
a new sleep app like i mentioned before there's a
complication but there's an app dedicated to sleep
and so you can set this up as say your bedtime a wake-up time
and you can wear this and track your sleep with your phone if you'd like
you don't have to do that but you can and then you it will remind you to
charge the battery in the morning also it will remind you on your phone
when your battery needs to be charged with a notification so it will just pop
down on the phone also when it's fully charged it will
notify you now as well so it's a nice little
app to have here and then you can track it within health if you really want to
monitor your sleep now in this update there's actually
new workouts as well so there's four new workouts
and if we scroll through here we can see some of them we'll wait for it here
and you'll see these are all the normal ones
functional strength training is one of the new ones so you have that built in
you also have dance now you have cool down and you also have
core training these four are all brand new so that's
built in and it's really nice to see that
also siri can now translate in different languages in fact 10 different languages
so let me bring this up here see if we can activate siri how do you
how do you say hello in french
in french
and so it will translate ten different languages and it does it right on the
watch now it doesn't have to send it out to the internet to translate it and it
will work in japanese as well so we'll try that
how do you say hello in japanese
so you'll see that it's been updated again with 10 different languages so
i'm sure they'll add to this in the future but right now it's just 10.
now also there is cycling within maps so if you use the apple map
app on your watch you can use it for walking and things like that but they've
added cycling we'll wait for it here to get the maps
you can get cycling directions so maybe you want to get a direction
somewhere you'll have the option for cycling now so let's see if we can
search for a place and you'll see that when we search for i
just search for a nearby fast food place but you'll see that we have cycling
directions so we now have that option and it says it's not currently available
for cycling but it will be added later on
and we'll be able to use it for cycling and find things along the way so it's
nice that they've added that now another new feature they've added is
battery health so if we go to settings and then we scroll down to where it says
battery tap on battery it will give you your
current battery state it's usage overall and then if you scroll down a little bit
you've got battery health and here you'll see i'm at 81 now this
is a couple years old at this point almost
and so 80 after two years is normal and so you've also got
optimized battery charging as well so unfortunately there's not really a
battery replacement program for apple watch
so i'm not sure how this will age but we'll see what apple does in the future
but it is a new feature that's here i wish it would just say good or bad and
then tell you when it needs to be replaced or i guess in this case i have
to replace this apple watch now we've had the
noise app for a while now with watch os 6 but now it has more functionality
where it will help monitor throughout the day
and let you know in your health app if you've been exposed to loud sounds for
some time so there's more information here with it
nothing particularly new with it but finally there is one other feature
you've probably already heard about and that is hand washing so
built into this is hand washing and you can actually access that
on your iphone so in the watch app on your phone if you scroll down a little
bit tap on hand washing you can turn the
hand washing timer on so anytime you start to wash your hands
it detects it and then also will give you a reminder
if it senses that you're at home you don't have to use that of course
but it requires location settings enabled for that to work but
it will give you a timer every time you wash your hands now i've actually had
some issues with this it's supposed to count down
20 seconds and it works sometimes but many times it will stop it
say 14 seconds and no longer continue so i'll be washing my hands
and it just sort of freezes so it is still in beta keep that in mind
and if you're having issues report them in feedback on your phone
and make sure that you're just reporting any issues you find so that you can
help apple make it better and then it will be better in the next updates for
you so those are all the major features
there are other small changes throughout so
have fun exploring that and finding those and of course if there's major
changes with beta 5 i'll mention that in the next video
if not i'll wait until there's more changes but let me know what you think
of watch os 7 so far what device are you using it on
