If you like my beta/GM diff threads follow @SteveMoser and r etweet the first tweet in this thread.
iOS 16 introduced a lot of little features. Here are the things I first noticed after upgrading: 1) Lock Screen widgets (AOD😉) 2) Notifications feel hidden at the bottom of the Lock Screen 3) I can’t play/pause media on the Lock Screen because the player isn’t centered anymore🧵
4) I don’t scroll the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch anymore given that watchOS 9 requires holding down the Digital Crown to unlock from sleep/school time/water lock.
5) If you had shortcuts for the sleep focus you will get an extra Home Screen.
WatchOS 9.0 beta 4 changes 🧵: Apple changed the dot dot dot ‘. . .’ to ellipsis ‘…’ on sleep, school time and water unlock screens. Also you may be able to select more Spring 2022 colors like Oat Milk, Lavender Gray, and Light Lilac on watch faces. It could be out in ~30m…
Apple removed the text about ‘making sure it’s snug on your wrist’.
‘Marmoset’ is the codename for (nano) Podcasts app on watchOS and has a few text additions: "Your Apple Watch will not try to download episodes from % when syncing.”
Medications are time zone aware now. "Health will send a notification and allow you to adjust your medication schedule if it detects a time zone change”
