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.
Want more classic Metal Gear Solid remakes on PS5? You’ll need to speak Konami’s language—dollar bills—to express your desire.
“Regarding remakes of previous games in the series other than Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, we will listen to player demand and consider accordingly,” a Konami official told IGN.
Konami explained that “we chose Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater because it depicts the birth of Big Boss (Naked Snake), which is the starting point of the Metal Gear series.” Fans wishing it would last forever contributed.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, yes? Maybe you’ll buy another disc to show Konami you’ll pay again?
The Romanian Competition Council is investigating Sony for abusing its console gaming market dominance. How exactly? The RCC says Sony sells video games exclusively through the PlayStation Store and blocks competing distributors from accessing activation codes.
“These practices would have reduced the purchasing options for PlayStation-compatible video games, leading to higher prices for video games on this type of console,” the RCC’s press release (in Romanian) states on ResetEra. These practices discourage Romanian studios from making PlayStation-compatible games.
The RCC is serious, too, having inspected Sony’s European headquarters to find out what happened. The press release states that “1.3 million console video game users” and “127 video game development studios” would be affected by Sony’s anti-competitive practices.
We’re not lawyers, but we believe digital game codes can’t be bought from other retailers, preventing price competition. Sony allowed the practice until a few years ago, so it’s interesting that it’s back.
After the COVID-19 supply collapse, Sony CEO Jim Ryan is optimistic about PS5 sales. The Sony executive anticipates the PS5, the best-selling console for months, will sell 108 million units.
That’s difficult stuff considering Sony needs to sell 70 million more PS5s. Since supply has increased, consoles are selling like hotcakes in major countries, suggesting the firm is above 40 million.
Ryan stated in a recent games business briefing webcast and Q&A (thanks, TweakTown):
“The 70 million, I think, is the existing PlayStation 4 user base, and while we would hope to convert a large number of those people, we will definitely target and definitely be successful in bringing large numbers of gamers who did not own a PlayStation 4, and in many instances, who have never owned a PlayStation at all.”
Mr. Ryan’s numbers—should we focus on the 108 part?
