Apple Watch users running the developer beta, there’s a new beta 7 version of watchOS 26 rolling out now.
watchOS 26 is nearly ready for public launch
watchOS 26 beta 7 is now available, bringing the latest updates and changes to users.
Some of the noteworthy new features in watchOS 26 include:
- Liquid Glass design
- Apple’s new Notes app
- Hints on the watch face
- Upgraded Control Center
- Several AI features and more
Today’s update is expected to be one of the last remaining betas before watchOS 26 launches.
We’re currently about a month away from Apple’s expected software launches, including iOS 26, watchOS 26, and more.
But with big hardware debuts coming in early September, the software beta cycle will slow down around the end of August.
Based on previous patterns, that means Apple will likely only have another couple beta versions before watchOS 26 launches.
That means, on one hand, that today’s release should be more stable than prior versions of watchOS 26. But it’s also unlikely to implement noticeable new features.
