watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26 beta 7 released last week indicates that Apple is nearing the conclusion of its testing phase, with beta 8 now available for Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro developers. We will monitor for any new features, but it’s clear that Apple is finalizing adjustments ahead of the Release Candidate versions of these upcoming OS updates.
These updates all aim to feature the new Liquid Glass design, as Apple seeks to create a more cohesive user interface across its devices. Users of the Apple Watch will soon notice that the company has refined various elements of the UI in watchOS 26, such as updates to the passcode screen, the Control Center, and the Notification Center. Accessing the Workouts app via the Action Button on the Apple Watch Ultra will also present a fresh user interface.
Those who own the Apple Watch Series 9 or later, along with an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, will have the opportunity to utilize the new Workout Buddy feature, which serves as an AI-driven health coach for outdoor running and strength training.
