WatchOS 10 unveiled with focus on widgets and cycling
Miscellaneous / / June 05, 2023
In addition to the new iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma, a major watchOS update was also shown at the WWDC 2023 presentation.
The tenth version of the system will improve the experience of using watch faces based on photos. They didn't display more information (that would have ruined the whole idea of such watch faces), but in watchOS 10 you can turn the wheel to bring widgets on top of the watch face and quickly find out everything you need. This feature will work with any watch faces.
The Activity app has been redesigned to include icons for quick access to friends' rewards and scores. The list of awards has also received a new interface.
Apple Watch will now connect to Bluetooth bike sensors so that the watch can display more and more accurate ride information.
For cyclists, another useful feature has been added: the ability to connect an iPhone with iOS 17 in smart display mode, which will display all the necessary information in real time.
With the release of watchOS 10, users will have access to a new watch face with Snoopy the dog. It syncs with the weather at the user's location: if it's raining, Snoopy will get wet too.
Apple has not yet announced a release date for watchOS 10 or a list of compatible devices.
