Over the past few years, Apple has been releasing new versions of watchOS usually in September. We were expecting the same for the latest watchOS 11 version. However, the public beta of watchOS 11 is expected to launch in July, while the developer beta is being released by Apple today. The final release is expected to happen in the fall.
Apple finally unveiled watchOS 11, which includes capabilities for the Apple Watch that expand on the company’s cutting-edge sensor technology, sophisticated algorithms, and science-based methodology to provide consumers with unprecedented personalization and game-changing insights into their fitness and overall health.
You can track some of the key health-monitoring indicators like heart rate, sleep tracking, and even monitoring blood oxygen level through the new Vitals app. It also notifies you when two or more of these measures deviate from normal. Additionally, it sends you suggestions on how to improve better.
Additional Support During Pregnancy
Pregnant customers can take advantage of enhanced support provided by watchOS 11, iOS 18, and iPadOS 18 to accommodate changes in their physical and mental health during this critical time. Users can report symptoms for common pregnancy symptoms and see their gestational age when they log a pregnancy in the Health app on their iPhone or iPad. The Cycle Tracking app on the Apple Watch will also display the user’s gestational age. Because heart rate tends to rise during pregnancy, they will also be asked to review items like their high heart rate notification threshold.
Live Activities Tracking
The new feature that has been introduced to watchOS 11 is live activities.
Shazam, Photos, and Distance are among the new widgets that may be added to Smart Stack, giving it further customization possibilities. Additionally, widget recommendations can be obtained based on your location, daily schedule, and time of day. With watchOS 11, Live Activities—which debuted on the iPhone 14 Pro series—are now available on compatible apps like Uber as part of Smart Stack.
Further, with the ability to change image composition and depth, the Photos watch face can now assess your photographs and recommend the best ones for your Apple Watch.
Understanding of Training Load
Training Load option evaluates your workout intensity over a 28-day period and assigns a workout grade, on a scale of one to ten. Activity rings can now be put on hold for days of rest or for recovering from an injury. It is also possible to modify your exercise objectives for days, weeks, or months at a time.
Support for Check-In
WatchOS will soon support Check In, allowing you to notify your loved ones when you reach your destination safely. Additionally, Apple Translate—which supports more than 20 languages—is finding its way onto your wrist.

Support for Workout
Within the Workout app, Apple is introducing GPS routes and other workout options. If you own an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, Apple Watch will receive Summarized Notifications powered by Apple Intelligence. Additionally, Apple is updating the Apple Watch with the new Tap to Cash feature.
Privacy
Every Apple feature has been designed and developed with privacy as a top priority. All of the user’s health and fitness information in the Health app, with the exception of Medical ID, is encrypted when their device is secured with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID.
