Last month, Apple kicked off the public betas of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, tvOS 17, and watchOS 10. While dedicated public beta releases were available for every OS except watchOS, Apple Watch owners running on watchOS 10 developer beta received an option to select a public beta update, though no dedicated build was initially offered.
Today, Apple has released the second public beta of watchOS 10, which technically serves as the first public beta. Let’s delve into the features and improvements that the watchOS 10 second public beta brings to the watch.
Apple is pushing the new public beta of watchOS 10 to compatible watches with a 21R5320i build number. It weighs around 545MB in size on my Apple Watch Series 7, which is the same size as the developer beta 4. If your Apple Watch is running on the watchOS 10 public beta, then you may have already received the new update on your watch.
In terms of changes, the official release notes confirm two big changes coming with today’s update which includes the addition of an optimized charge limit feature as well as better estimates for battery levels on the Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm).
- New Feature
- Optimized Charge Limit is now available on Apple Watch SE, Series 6, Series 7, and Series 8. See About Optimized Battery Charging on your Apple Watch for more information. (110117793)
- Resolved Issues
- Fixed: Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm) estimates maximum battery capacity more accurately. (109589671)
While other features remain the same as the watchOS 10, you can check the complete list of features and other details about watchOS 10 on this page.
