Apple today seeded the first beta of its upcoming watchOS 10.6 update to developers for testing. The new beta comes a month after the release of watchOS 10.5 to the public.
To install the watchOS 10.6 beta, developers should open the Apple Watch app, go to the Software Update section under “General” in Settings, and toggle on the watchOS 10 Developer Beta. An Apple ID linked to a developer account is required.
After that, The watchOS 10.6 beta can be installed via the Watch app on the device’s attached iPhone. Go to “General” -> “Software Update” to install the beta. The Watch should have at least 50% battery life, be connected to a charger, and be within range of the iPhone.
We don’t yet know what’s included in watchOS 10.6, but if anything new is found, we’ll update this article.
As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver Apple Watch, especially early versions of new operating systems. Instead, only install betas on a device set aside for testing purposes.
