That is a good thought. I will close apps and see if that changes anything. Thanks

Beta 3 and WatchOS beta have really started dragging their figurative feet for me. Any chance of a beta 4 today since 11.4.1 dropped yesterday?
Hopefully there are enough Apple staff annoyed by the contact sync issue that they release it today
LOL, they're all probably 2-3 betas ahead of us. Old news for them!
I'd say 30% we get it today, but more likely next Mon-Tues. or possibly even later if the "Leaker" is correct about 18 days.
Oh I was just being optimistic, but realistically I know its more likely next week
I scoured the internet for release dates. They’ve never released a beta 4 one week after beta 3 for a x.0 release. The closest they got was 11 days for iOS 5, and 13 days for iOS 9.
Have you been able to try the walkie talkie part of the watch? I'm wondering if it seems useful or gimmicky...
Well, this stirs the pot a little for a possible DB4 today, but I think it falls more in the line of an "emergency" release due to the nature of the fix and the timing.

Nah. My wife is still on 11.4/Watch OS 4 and I don't know anybody else in the real world that has any interest in beta testing for Apple.
LOL.
That is one feature I have zero interest in, both because no one else in my family has one and because I just envision this as the Sprint PTT feature (BEE-BOOP....).
Right! That's about the only thing MORE irritating than somebody talking on speakerphone in public. So glad that went away.
I managed to convince my girlfriend to get the betas. We tried Walkie-Talkie. It’s okay I guess. A lot better with Bluetooth headphones. It feels like a phone call except that only one person can talk at a time which feels weird and kind of unnatural.
Giving the ubiquity of cell phones, I can only see a use for them if they were watch to watch in an area with no cell service (like a cruise ship) but I was wondering how well it was executed
Unfortunately, it doesn't come with the beta. Right now, paid developers can request it from Apple (via TestFlight) and then its up to Apple. That doesn't mean it won't be available to test later this summer for public beta members, but not sure how they'll do that since it seems to not be part of the stock app package (Stocks, Weather, Reminders, Notes, etc...) but a downloadable app.
In the meantime, download Workflow. That gets you most of what Shortcuts can do (right now). If you learn Workflow, you'll know Shortcuts right out of the box.
Not a single post in here today? Guess there are no expectations for anything to drop! Or you're all ordering new MBPs

50% chance it drops today
More like 5% lol. Unless you are counting the 50% as it may or may not. But in reality, there is a tiny chance it comes out today.
