Apple has just released a new wave of beta 6 software updates, including watchOS 26 for Apple Watch users on the developer beta.
Beta 6 now available for watchOS 26, with public launch nearing
Apple Watch users running the developer beta have a new update to install.
watchOS 26 beta 6 is now available, bringing the latest changes ahead of Apple’s big public launch.
Beta 5 introduced some refinements to Liquid Glass throughout watchOS 26.
For example, Notification Center now looks a lot more ‘glassy’ than before, more closely resembling iOS 26’s look.
Today’s beta 6 isn’t expected to pack much in the way of new features or changes. That’s because we’re getting to the point in the summer where stability and performance are most important.
Since watchOS 26 is expected to ship to all users in just over a month, Apple’s development teams are focused primarily on ensuring it comes with as few bugs as possible.
So while smaller UI tweaks and enhancements may still arrive in each new beta, we’re unlikely to see much in terms of noticeable changes.
Except, of course, when it comes to software stability. If you’ve been encountering issues running watchOS 26 this summer, those will hopefully start getting eliminated with each new beta.
