How To Install Apple Watch watchOS 7 Public Beta
Apple is set to officially release watchOS 7 later this year, which will bring several new features to the popular smartwatch. While the company typically doesn’t release a public beta for upcoming Apple Watch software, things are playing out differently this time and it can be tested by anyone with a compatible watch.
This article is going to break down the steps you need to take in order to download watchOS 7 public beta onto your Apple Watch. However, keep in mind that this is pre-release software, so you should expect bugs and a somewhat bumpy experience at times. This beta is for the hardcore smartwatch users who simply can’t wait to see what’s in store later this year.
First of all, you need to make sure that you have iOS 14 beta on the iPhone that is paired with your Apple Watch. Once that’s done, take the following steps:
- Open the Apple Beta Software Program website on your iPhone.
- Select the chevron in the top-right corner of the page and then select Sign In from the menu and enter your details.
- A Guide for Public Betas screen should then appear. When it does, select the watchOS tab, and then navigate to Get Started and then to Enroll your Apple Watch.
- Navigate and select Download Profile.
- Onscreen instructions will appear to install the watchOS 7 public beta.
- Select Allow to download the beta profile to your iPhone.
- Select Install in the top-right corner of the screen.
- You will then be shown consent information, and will need to select Install twice more.
- If a restart prompt appears select it (it may do it on its own).
- Launch the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Navigate to General, and then Software Update.
- watchOS 7 should appear to download, so place your Apple Watch on its charger and select Download and Install.
That should be all you have to do in order to have the watchOS 7 public beta up and running on your Apple Watch. You can expect to be able to try out new things like sleep tracking, new watch faces, watch face sharing, new workout types and more. An official release date for the full watchOS 7 release has not been revealed, but we’ll bring you more information as soon as it becomes available.
A PS5 firmware update on a cold winter morning is unmatched. The latest PS5 system software update is 23.02–08.40.00 from Sony. Does this one add useful features or just boost system performance?
Though closer to the latter, it’s more than Sony’s favorite patch note. It fixes security issues, improves messages and usability, and boosts system software performance. Official patch notes for this 1.185GB update:
- We updated system software security
- We improved system software stability and performance
- Some screens now have better messages and usability
That’s it. PS5 gets another win to recover from its midweek slump. Do you share our enthusiasm for this firmware update? Comment below. To spice things up, make your comment rhyme.
Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.
Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.
Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?
We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.
TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.
TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.
TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.
