You will be pleased to know that watchOS 11 public beta 3 is now available for download and install for your Apple Watch.
watchOS 11 Public Beta 3 is Now Available to Download with Same Changes as Developer Beta 5
watchOS beta updates bring me joy because they bring us one step closer to the final release. This is important, because if you’re testing out watchOS 11 beta, you already know you can’t downgrade back to watchOS 10. Whenever these updates come out, it’s a baby step towards stability on Apple Watch and a way off the beta channel, too.
If you have been testing watchOS 11 public beta, you can download the latest version by going to Watch > General > Software Update on your iPhone. Make sure you’ve placed your Apple Watch on its charger before you do this. Also, watchOS 11 public beta 3 may take a while to download and install.
In case you’re wondering – yes, watchOS 11 public beta 3 features the same set of changes as developer beta 5. You get nothing less compared to the developer preview, and it is extremely important that you update right away as the update does include bug fixes and other under-the-hood enhancements for stability.
watchOS 11 public beta 3 is available for everyone to try out as long as they have a compatible Apple Watch. However, the decision to install the beta completely lies with you. Once you’ve updated to watchOS 11 beta, you can’t go back to watchOS 10. You will have to install each and every single beta update until you’re back to the public release.
Though watchOS 11 is extremely stable at this point, the ride can be brutal when you find out that your favorite third-party app is completely broken. There’s absolutely nothing you can do to fix it other than email the developer to add some sort of preliminary support for the beta software.
If you still want to try out the watchOS 11 beta, be sore to follow the tutorial for installing the public beta here, and developer beta here.
