WatchOS 8 Focuses on Health Features, Lacks Major Changes
By Olena Kagui
WatchOS 8 is coming to an Apple Watch near you this fall! This much-anticipated software update, announced at Apple's WWDC keynote event, was met with sighs at the focus on revamping the Breathe app. While the improved Health features come with exciting possibilities, the spattering of minor core features, including more flexible text writing, AirTags on the watch's Find My app, and a new Portrait watch face raise more questions than whoops of excitement. The watchOS 8 beta is available for those who want to try the new features now, while more cautious users can update to watchOS 8 in September when the finished version is released.
Anticipation is building for the WWDC keynote on June 7, when Apple will kick off its developers conference by introducing the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS. Our editorial team will be watching the WWDC 2021 keynote livestream and hosting a conversation in our private Facebook group as the event happens. And you're invited to join in, ask questions, and share your opinions! After the keynote, watch or listen to the iPhone Life Podcast, where we’ll discuss everything just announced.
