You can now download and install watchOS 11.1 developer beta 3 for Apple Watch right now.
watchOS 11.1 Beta 3 Now Available with More Bug Fixes and Improvements, Download it Today
watchOS 11.1 is now available for download and if you are currently running beta 2 on your Apple Watch you can install the update right away.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Place your Apple Watch on its magnetic charger.
- Connect your iPhone to Wi-Fi.
- Launch the ‘Watch’ app on iPhone and go to General > Software Update.
- When watchOS 11.1 beta 3 shows up, download it.
The update may take a while to download and install, which is completely normal when it comes to watchOS updates. When the installation is complete you can either leave your Apple Watch on charge or just strap it to your wrist right away, it’s entirely up to you.
If you are planning to install watchOS 11.1 beta on your Apple Watch, please note that you cannot downgrade back to the public channel. The upgrade is a one-way street and you have to download and install each update until the final version is released.
I am expecting the full and final version of watchOS 11.1 to become available some time this month alongside iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 with Apple Intelligence.
