watchOS 11 - Hands On Everything New

[@issacman1870]

We can FINALLY change the ringtones and notification sounds on Apple Watch! I’ve been wanting this for SOOOO long!

[@TheAppleBias]

Yep just found that feature as well. That is a great addition!

[@Danisu82]

@@TheAppleBiasso what language supports exist for the qwerty keyboards these days? Can you please reply? I can’t find out. I would like to buy latest Apple Watch but only if Swedish qwerty keyboard exists.

[@TheAppleBias]

@Danisu82 I’m not sure. I’ll see what I can find out do you have a watch that has the keyboard now. It will be the same one that shows up in the messages app.

[@TheAppleBias]

@Danisu82 only list I can find is. French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Mexico, Spain, Latin America) speakers

[@Oharsh0928]

Been waiting on this video all day

[@TheAppleBias]

Haha thanks 😊 . It took a bit to upload. Hope it was worth the wait.

[@OneOfDaKine82]

Finally Apple have the time on the left side of the watch face for leftys.

[@MeganHousehold]

Finally a video that shows this new watch face off properly. Genuinely love that you say God bless at the end of every video. God bless you too ❤✝

[@TheAppleBias]

So glad you liked the video. Yeah I love when we get new watch faces. If there would have been more than one I would have made a whole video just on the faces themselves. I very much believe that God gave me the talents and passions I have and I try to use them all for Him.

[@xekusion]

I find it weird that the Unity Bloom is the only watch face that is full screen and allows Complications

[@renandelacruz6159]

Would be cool to see more of the new updates in Maps with turn by turn routing with activities

[@TheAppleBias]

I will be making more content on it as things progress this was just the first of many.

[@augustadams3736]

@@TheAppleBias Yes, have not seen anyone show how this works, excited to see this!

[@TheAppleBias]

@augustadams3736 I’ll be making another update on more new stuff that should drop tomorrow. So your wanting to see turn by turn driving or walking directions with the live widget activities?

[@renandelacruz6159]

@@TheAppleBias More so on turn by turn routing from maps during an activity (i.e. hiking, running, walking, etc.) Curious to see how that is set up from iPhone and sent to the watch (i.e.can you import a gpx file?) and also how maps is accessed during an activity (is it a data screen in the workout screen rather than having to switch out of the activity and go to Maps)?

[@TheAppleBias]

@renandelacruz6159 just finishing an outdoor walk and from what I see with it nothing is different yet. Maps and workout are still accessed separately and no live activity widget for maps on watch.

[@MN-oy9dr]

for your translate app, a compliment (translate to Dutch) : ' bedankt voor het delen van alweer een prima video. ga zo door ! ' all best !

[@TheAppleBias]

That’s awesome. I love creating videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch mine!

[@KingBuick]

Has the Siri watch face been discontinued and replaced with a new one?

[@TheAppleBias]

No but it has been removed. So there is room for a new one now.

[@KingBuick]

@@TheAppleBias that’s too bad. It’s been one of my main watch faces for years even though it’s been buggy. Have any other watch faces been discontinued, like Solar Graph and World Time?

[@NourMoghrabi]

It’s sad because the Apple Watch SE 1 generations dose not get new updates

[@TheAppleBias]

Yeah just for series 6 and up. My son has the SE 1 as well. Guessing we will sell it this summer.

[@BenjaminWaechter-wi6dy]

They also said they are adding new workout types, but didn't show them in the announcement, can you see if there are new workout types in the workout app?

[@TheAppleBias]

Yeah I plan to film tonight and I’ll compare it with watchOS 10 and see what I can find.

[@HiltonHead2004]

Kinda disappointed that Apple didn't provide support for the 1st gen SE

[@TheAppleBias]

Yeah. I have a feeling the SE models just won’t be supported as long as the others. They dropped 3 models this time around.

[@Animagus0dragon]

Is wrist temperature new? Is it measuring your body temperature or the temperature only when you're sleeping? I remember that it was exclusive only to the ovulation features. Hope for a reply! Thanks!

[@TheAppleBias]

It was released with series 8. Of you sleep track with the watch it takes your temp right as you wake up. They just never did anything with it other than for ovulation. But the data was always recorded and stored.

[@guargent8861]

Nice Video. Is upgrading the phone also required to update to latest Dev Beta for Watch?

[@TheAppleBias]

Yeah you have to install iOS 18 before you can install watchOS 11.

[@foetor]

Thank you! What about battery life since now?

[@TheAppleBias]

Still too early to say. Overnight it lost a ton. But today seems okay. After some more we will see how it goes. I will make some more update as I learn more.

[@allesodernix9]

Just got a question . Can you also type the phrase in with the Apple Watch keyboard on the translator app ?

[@TheAppleBias]

Yes you can there is a setting that lets you switch from voice to keyboard.

[@allesodernix9]

@@TheAppleBiaswow thanks for fast respond :)

[@TheAppleBias]

@allesodernix9 happy to help. Now it only showed up for English. So I’m guessing it only work for your set language. As long as the Apple Watch keyboard supports that language.

[@eeveelover666lol_jk3]

Will this update be available on the apple watch SE 1 gem someone please tell me

[@believer7442]

No

[@believer7442]

No

[@TheAppleBias]

Release notes say series 6 or later. The SE was a mix between the 4-6 and it came out with the 6 but I would lean towards it not being supported.

[@thegreentalons4333]

One Question, How were you able to swipe ya hands across the ultra watch ti cut it off? Is it in my settings app to activate it or will I come to Watch ios 11??

[@TheAppleBias]

Sorry may need a little more info. On what you meant by cut it off?

[@camronison8594]

We’re can I get that band

[@TheAppleBias]

Love this band. Here is the link: collabs.shop/raiaqg I also have a video on it. ytlink.app/2NfngTHj

[@rasooldadkhan]

Does it automatically track sleep? Nap?

[@TheAppleBias]

All that seems to be the same as before. I have mine automatically go into sleep mode at night which works well. But nothing with naps. Think there is a third party app that does them well.

[@rasooldadkhan]

@@TheAppleBias please confirm as what i know that it does not need to activate sleep mode for it, it automatically track sleep like Samsung watches and also track snap

[@chrisomatic3228]

I don’t have the option to download, I have a dev acc and I updated my iPhone to ios18, what’s up?

[@TheAppleBias]

If you go into setting app -> general -> software updates. Do you see the beta update selection option?

[@robertmatrai2189]

Did the Music app chenged in any way?

[@TheAppleBias]

From what I can see between my watches they look the same. That could still change before Septembers release tho.

[@Infinitelight8888]

I’m not a dev and I got both betas downloaded 🤔

[@TheAppleBias]

Nice. Hope it all works out for you. Beta 2 is usually the buggiest.

[@Infinitelight8888]

@@TheAppleBias Thanks for the early warning

[@hermanbryantiii3531]

I really hope I’ll be able to add my mighty morphin power rangers text ring tone to my watch!!! I’m such a nerd. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣😂

[@TheAppleBias]

Nice. On my phone I use A-Team and Dr Who 🤓

[@gold333]

When not looking at your watch and screen was dimmed: WatchOS10: Scroll up would make the screen brightest for 70 seconds. WatchOS11: This functionality was removed. Shame

[@TheAppleBias]

Yeah since that triggers the widgets they changed that function. It’s still work when in theater mode which I was happy to see.

[@gold333]

@@TheAppleBias Theatre mode on the watch?

[@TheAppleBias]

@gold333 yeah I used theater mode for sleep track for the longest time when on the screen is always off and you scroll up/down the crown to set the watch brightness and it stays at that setting while you interact with the watch as well. Think I made a video on it a couple years ago.

[@thndercat1]

I like Shazam

[@TheAppleBias]

Yeah it’s insane how it can work. I just don’t fine myself needing it much and with it built into Siri I never really need the app itself.

[@KatelandVu]

There’s a major bug in this beta y’all. Apple has accidentally deleted the Siri, chronograph, Explorer and portrait faces here. Even couple of Apple Watch wearers got outraged when they updated and found out that they got replaced with Infograph Modular and Infograph faces.

[@TheAppleBias]

Yeah I plan to make another video and showcase all this. Part of me wonders if it’s not a bug and they’re just removing lesser used watchfaces to make room for new ones.

[@KatelandVu]

@@TheAppleBiaswell we will have to wait for beta 2 of watchOS 11 and check it out… I left a feedback message to Apple about it. I saw other folks mention that these faces got deleted as well. My Siri face turned to Infograph Modular, Explorer to Infograph and Numerals got deleted and replaced with Numerals Mono.

[@Darknighteo]

IOS 18 is one of the reason made me stay with Apple a little longer 😂

[@TheAppleBias]

Now I’m curious why you were leaving and what in iOS 18 made you want to stay.

@@TheAppleBias features in android coming to IOS 18

still not a propper fitness watch. i guess i have to stick with garmin.

Curious what more it needs to be a proper fitness watch. Guessing less feature more battery and continuous heart monitoring. Or is there more?

Glad someone let me know. I had no clue what it said. Hopefully it keeps getting better by better and better. I have a feeling it would do better at normal sayings. But thank for letting me know.
