Uninstall that profile:

If you want to revert to a different version or get off of the public betawhat you need to do is uninstall that profile so go to your settings underapple watch scroll down go to profiles tap on theprofile then remove the profile once you'veremoved it it will reboot your apple watch and you will not be able to getoff of the beta until the next public version comes outso currently 6.2.8 is out maybe 6.3 or 6.2.9 will come out once thatdoes that will get you off of the beta sothat's the only way to get off of the beta without sending it to apple soagain just a warning don't put it on your device if youif you need to be on watch os 6 or depend on it now let's talk about what'snew and so the first thing that's new aresome new watch faces and so you can see here this is the newchronograph pro watch face with a tachymeteror tachometer and you can tap on the watch face and it'll give youyour different dials or go back and you have a bunch of different color optionsfor this as well it may default to blue or whitedepending on which version you're on but they've been changing this around ifyou're in the betas and you'll see it's a new watch face nowthis watch face may or may not be availabledepending on the series watch you actually have there's also a new watchface for extra large where you can now adddifferent complications to it so you'll see i have the world hereso if i tap and edit before you can only have the time in a large sizenow we can add complications and so we can scroll through the differentcomplications that we have and there's some new ones as well andwe'll talk about some of the new complications they've added in justa moment now the next thing is photos has some options there's also infographmodular but photos has some options and if we goto edit photos now has filters so if i want tochange the color of the photo here you can do that bygoing through different fold different filters so you have a bunch ofthose and then of course move the position around towhere you want to see the photo now also there's some new pride faces sothere's pride digital and pride analog as well and so you have those as well soyou can tap on them and they sort of wave so that's kind of interesting andthen again they do the same thing on thiswatch face so there's just a bunch of new watch facesthere may be some more things for you to explore as well but let's take a look atthe new complications and there's a few of themso we'll go to our complications and edit and one of the first new ones is acamera remote so now you can remotely activate the camera on your phonei think you could bring this up before but now it's just a complication soit's nice that they've added that they've also added siri shortcutsand you can now add individual shortcuts so this is just a shortcut i have butthere's a few of them and you can add a few differentshortcuts.

World clock complication:

If you'd like scroll through themin the app itself but now you can just have one button to access that shortcutwe also now have a world clock complication we have a sleepcomplication which we'll talk more about in just a moment and we also have a moonphase complication as well and so those arethe new complications within now apps can have multiplecomplications as well now so you can create maybe your own infograph herewith multiple complications from the same app so you'll see i have twoactivity app complications right now so you can havetwo of the same you can have multiple ones so for example maybe you have theweather you have one with humidity from aweather app maybe one with the temperatureand one with say the forecast in it you can have multiple from one so that youcan create your own watch faces later on and once you've created those watchfaces you can now share them by pressing and holdingso you'll see there's a little share button down here once you press and holdand then you can share it in a message so you can share that with anyone thathas an apple watch they'll be able to usethe watch face as long as they have your installed app sothat's a really nice way to share those and then you'll be able to access thoseapps within the app store and find new ones so i'm not surethey've updated it yet so eventually there will be new watch faceswithin the store so that you can download a bunch of them that peoplehave created so i'm glad to see more customization withwatch faces and it's something that they've addedthroughout with watch os 7. now there's a new sleep applike i mentioned before there's a complication but there's an appdedicated to sleep and so you can set this up as say yourbedtime a wake-up time and you can wear this and track yoursleep with your phone if you'd like you don't have to do that but you canand then you it will remind you to charge the battery in the morning also it will remind you on your phone when your battery needs to be chargedwith a notification.

Just pop down: 

So it will just pop down on the phonealso when it's fully charged it will notify you now as well so it's a nicelittle app to have here and then you can trackit within health if you really want to monitor your sleep now in this updatethere's actually new workouts as well so there's four newworkouts and if we scroll through here we can seesome of them we'll wait for it here and you'll see these are all the normalones functional strength training is one ofthe new ones so you have that built in you also have dance nowyou have cool down and you also have core trainingthese four are all brand new so that's built in and it's really nice to seethat also siri can now translate in differentlanguages in fact 10 different languages so let me bring this up heresee if we can activate siri how do you how do you say hello in french in french and so it will translate ten differentlanguages and it does it right on the watch now it doesn't have to send it outto the internet to translate it and it will workin japanese as well so we'll try that how do you say hello in japanese so you'll see that it's been updatedagain with 10 different languages so i'm sure they'll add to this in thefuture but right now it's just 10. now also there is cycling within maps soif you use the apple map app on your watch you can use it forwalking and things like that but they've added cyclingwe'll wait for it here to get the maps you can get cycling directionsso maybe you want to get a direction somewhere you'll have the option forcycling now so let's see if we can search for a placeand you'll see that when we search for i just search for a nearby fast food placebut you'll see that we have cycling directions so we now have that optionand it says it's not currently available for cycling but it will be added lateron and we'll be able to use it for cyclingand find things along the way so it's nice that they've added thatnow another new feature they've added is battery health so if we go to settingsand then we scroll down to where it says batterytap on battery it will give you your current battery state it's usage overalland then if you scroll down a little bit you've got battery healthand here you'll see i'm at 81 now this is a couple years old at this pointalmost and so 80 after two years is normal andso you've also got optimized battery charging as well sounfortunately there's not really a battery replacement program for applewatch so i'm not sure how this will age butwe'll see what apple does in the future but it is a new feature that's herei wish it would just say good or bad and then tell you when it needs to bereplaced or i guess in this case i have to replace this apple watch now we'vehad the noise app for a while now with watch os6 but now.

It has more functionality:

It has more functionality where it will help monitor throughoutthe day and let you know in your health app ifyou've been exposed to loud sounds for some timeso there's more information here with it nothing particularly new with itbut finally there is one other feature you've probably already heard about andthat is hand washing so built into this is hand washing and youcan actually access that on your iphone so in the watch app onyour phone if you scroll down a little bittap on hand washing you can turn the hand washing timer on so anytime youstart to wash your hands it detects it and then also will giveyou a reminder if it senses that you're at home youdon't have to use that of course but it requires location setting senabled for that to work but it will give you a timer every time you wash your hands now i've actually had some issues with this it's supposed to count down 20 seconds and it works sometimes but many times it will stop it say 14 seconds and no longer continue so i'll be washing my hands and it just sort of freezes so it is still in beta keep that in mind and if you're having issues report the min feedback on your phone and make sure that you're just reporting any issues you find so that you can help apple make it better and then itwill be better in the next updates for you so those are all the major features there are other small changes throughout so have fun exploring that and finding those and of course if there's major changes with beta 5 i'll mention that in the next video if not i'll wait until there's more changes but let me know what you think of watch os 7 so far what device are you using it on of course.
