Apple has just released watchOS 9, which brings a number of new features and improvements. One of the most important changes is the addition of a Downloads feature, which makes it possible to access and download watchOS 9 apps and games from the Apple Watch. This is a great way to keep your apps and games close at hand, even if you’re not always at home. Another new feature in watchOS 9 is support for AirPlay 2. This means that you can easily share music, movies, and other media content with your Apple Watch using AirPlay 2. You can also use AirPlay 2 to control your Apple TV or other devices that support AirPlay 2. Overall, watchOS 9 is an impressive update that makes it easier than ever to keep your Apple Watch connected and up-to-date with the latest technology.
Apple has released watchOS 9, the latest major update to the operating system that powers the Apple Watch series. It introduces four new watch faces — Lunar (a calendar view with the Moon), Playtime (an artistic design), Metropolitan (a face that changes style as the Digital Crown is turned), and Astronomy (with a star map and current cloud data). Apple has also updated many older watch faces with new background color options and support for modern complications, and Nike watch faces are now available on all Apple Watch models.
The new update also introduces Low Power Mode, which turns off or limits some features to conserve battery life, such as background heart rate monitoring and Always-On Display. Activity tracking and Fall Detection still work with Lower Power Mode enabled, though.
Notifications have also been updated in watchOS 9 “to be less interruptive while still being impactful,” according to Apple. There are many other smaller changes, such as new metrics for running, a redesigned Compass app, historical data for AFib readings, and updated medications tracking and reminders.
The update is rolling out to the Apple Watch Series 4 and newer, and all Apple Watch SE models. It should also be pre-installed on the new models when they start shipping. If you haven’t already received a notification, you can manually check for updates.
