Apple has released watchOS 11, bringing many new features for Apple Watch users. One major update is the addition of workout intensity monitoring. This, along with improved cycle tracking, helps users stay in control of their health. The new tools make it easier to track and manage fitness and wellness.
Enhanced Customization Options
Users can now enjoy more control over how their watch looks and works. The updated Photos face uses machine learning to show the best pictures from a user’s library. This creates a dynamic and engaging experience. Additionally, users can adjust their Activity Rings to match fitness goals and pause tracking without losing streaks.
Fitness and Health Tracking Improvements
The new Vitals app gives users a simple view of their overnight health data. Athletes will appreciate the Training Load feature. It helps monitor workout intensity over time. For those tracking pregnancy, the Cycle Tracking app now shows gestational age, giving expectant mothers more detailed pregnancy information.
Availability and Compatibility
watchOS 11 needs an iPhone XS or later, running iOS 18. It is compatible with Apple Watch SE (2nd generation), Series 6 through 9, and both generations of the Apple Watch Ultra. Apple will announce the full release timeline soon.
