Apple recently released the public beta of watchOS 27, allowing users to be the first to experience many major changes in the new generation operating system upgrade. The most eye-catching one is the “Siri AI” smart experience implemented on the wrist for the first time. The official version of watchOS 27 is expected to be released this fall.

Three core highlights of the new watchOS 27:
Siri AI smart assistant
Powered by Apple Intelligence, Siri can now understand personal context, answer deeper questions and perform cross-app actions. For example, users can directly ask Siri to find the access code in an email, and conversation records can be synchronized with iPhone in both directions through iCloud and seamlessly connected.
Dynamic APP grid and intelligent stacking
After pressing the digital crown, the newly designed “dynamic APP grid” will place Siri in the center, and frequently used APPs will be dynamically displayed around it based on usage habits. The “smart stack” has also become smarter, and can proactively display corresponding information based on location and situation, such as automatically switching to “theater mode” at a concert, or proactively showing an electronic boarding pass at the airport.
“One-finger tap” operation gesture
This time, a new “single-finger tap” operation gesture (the index finger and thumb touch each other), combined with the original double-click gesture, users can now complete the full set of operations of “scrolling and stacking, clicking to select, and swinging their wrist to return to the surface” with just one hand, without touching the screen at all.
In addition, health functions have also been upgraded, including the “Workout Buddy” AI sports coach that can operate without a mobile phone, a more accurate treadmill distance algorithm, and a “premenopausal” menstrual period tracking warning function for female users over 40 years old.
The support lineup of watchOS 27 has been reduced compared with previous years. It is only compatible with Apple Watch Series 9, 10, 11, as well as Ultra 2, Ultra 3 and SE 3, and the paired iPhone must first be upgraded to the iOS 27 public beta. In addition, we need to remind you that after the Apple Watch is upgraded to the public beta version, users cannot revert to the old version of the system like the iPhone. If they encounter system errors, they can only wait for corrections in subsequent versions. It is recommended to carefully evaluate before installation.
