Apple has released a series of updates! You can now install Watchos 26 on your Apple Watch. These are the most important new functions.
Watchos 26
There is a new software version for the Apple Watch available! Apple has released Watchos 26 for all users, so that you can now install the update on your Apple Watch. It is about the largest software update of the year for the smartwatch, which is being expanded with many more functions. Are you curious about what changes are coming to your Apple Watch? These are the most important features!
1. Liquid Glass
Apple provides all operating systems with a new interface this year and that is no different in Watchos 26. Liquid Glass comes to the Apple Watch, which makes many more elements transparent and seem to be made of glass. You can see this in places such as the control panel, with widgets and with dials. With the new design, Watchos 26 fits your iPhone and iPad, which also get a new design with Liquid Glass.
2. Pulse gesture
Do you regularly receive notifications on your Apple Watch, while you are busy with something else? That is no longer a problem from Watchos 26, because the smartwatch is expanded with a handy wrist gesture. It is possible in the latest software version to close notifications by turning your wrist away. The Apple Watch records this movement so that the notifications disappear from the screen. This makes it easier to use the smartwatch hands -free.
3. Health coach
You have more options when keeping track of training on the Apple Watch, because the workout app has been renewed in Watchos 26. In every corner of the app, 26 regulators are available from Watchos, which gives you faster access to functions such as route, target tempo and the work-out buddy. The latter is a new feature, which encourages you from Watchos 26 when performing training.
4. Smart stack
In Watchos 10, widgets were shown for the first time in the form of the smart stack. This feature shows different widgets at certain times, depending on the moment of the day and your location. The smart stack not only has a new design in Watchos 26, but is also smarter. This way the pile gives your hints, which you can use immediately. You have the necessary widgets at the right time within reach.
5. New dials
Apple brings new dials to the Apple Watch every year and that is no different with Watchos 26. With the update, a new collection comes under the name ‘Stroom’ to your Apple Watch. The new dials match the transparent design of Liquid Glass. You can choose a total of four new dials, one of which is exclusively for the Hermès models. View the new dials here!
6. Blood pressure monitor
An important improvement in the Apple Watch Series 11 is the blood pressure monitor. The Apple Watch gives reports for the first time with a long -term high blood pressure. We now know that this function is not exclusively for the latest Apple Watch, but with Watchos 26 also comes to earlier models. Do you want to know if your Apple Watch will be expanded with the blood pressure monitor? These models work with the new health feature.
Watchos 26 Install
With Watchos 26, Apple is also making many more changes. This way the Apple Watch is expanded with a sleep score, which indicates how good (or bad) you slept. Did you sleep badly? Then the sleep score gives you tips for improving your night’s sleep. In addition, the Apple Watch receives support for live translation, smart reactions and automatic adjustment of too hard or soft volume.
The Apple Watch therefore gets many new functions, but you have to install Watchos 26 for that. You can find the update in the Watch app on your iPhone under ‘My Watch> General> Software update’. Under Watchos 26, tap ‘Install’ to install the biggest update of the year on your Apple Watch. Are you not sure if your smartwatch works with the update?
