Apple rolls out first public beta of WatchOS 7: Here is how to download it

Apple has released the first public beta of WatchOS 7. This is the first time that the Cupertino based company has made available a bet release for smartwatches before the final release. According to a report by 9To5 Mac, Apple in the past has reserved WatchOS betas for developers, even as it released public betas of its other operating systems to users. The tech giant has warned that the WatchOS public beta updates are currently in development, which means some apps and services may not work as per expectations, and the data may not be backwards compatible.

The WatchOS 7 introduces a host of new features to the Apple Watch including support for watch face sharing. Users can create and share watch faces with other people. Also, sleep tracking is now supported on the device. A report by The Verge says that the update will also support cycling directions, and can automatically detect hand-washing and start a timer for you. The new WatchOS 7 software is not available on all the Apple Watch models. The public beta is available only on Series 3 and newer smartwatches.
