Watch OS 10 Beta Thread

[firewire9000]

and from what I see the fast charge of the apple watch ultra does not work

I have the same feeling, I need to do more testing tho.

Avoid an unpair and restore on beta 3!

I tried to restore and reset my Ultra and now all of the first party apps are not installed. Third-party apps are all there but first party is no dice! Restore at your own peril!

My watch can't seem to charge on a 3rd-party charger. Anyone has the same issue?

Apple Watch Ultra here. It seems that Wayfinder watchface has normal size again (in previous betas was smaller).
Everything seems to be faster, battery life is better, but still going down fast during workout.
But I can definetely see progress.

no, server-side fix

Battery life is worse in this beta. Getting 1 and a half days instead of 2 on my series 8.

Does WatchOS 10 utilize the big Ultra screen any better than WatchOS 9? Obviously both version are limited to the same bezel size and pixels, but I am curious weather version 10 watch faces use the Ultra screen any better.

I haven't noticed any major improvements, but to be fair that's never something that really bothered my in the first place on watchOS 9.

Can you see weekly summary of steps on the apple watch to show steps and miles walked on this beta, because it worked in version 9

On watchOS 10 B3 the phone app is buggy, not sure if this affected the other two betas, but bringing up the number keypad during a call the cancel button does nothing and the microphone icon gets in the way of the other button on the top right.

It looks like they removed this functionality, unfortunately.

Before I report this, anyone else having no audible or haptic, alerts for some messages coming through (iMessage and SMS)?

 

[paulg1981]

Yes! I have them occasionally and can't figure out the process that makes it happen.

 

[rti92391]

Anyone still having the Weather complication bug (randomly not showing temps, AQI, etc)? Thought it went away this beta, but is still happening.

Can somebody tell me how to access the app switcher please? Can the behaviour of the side button be changed to not open the control centre?

Press the digital crown twice

Press the digital crown twice

Ah thank you, so that replaces the old “quick switch between apps” feature? Has that feature been removed entirely or is there another way to trigger it?

I have noticed that. I don't even get a notification sometimes. Other times I do.

Up to beta 2 on all devices, SMS text syncing was still broken. I really need this! In hopes of seeing this fixed, I downgraded my Mac to Ventura. No fix with beta 3 iOS either

So I'm thinking now of downgrading my iPhone and iPad to iOS 16 - but my Watch would remain stuck in the beta cycle unless I bring it to Apple

If I do downgrade all else to stable, will the watchOS 10 still function properly paired to iOS 16? Has anyone tried?
