A day after the release of watchOS 9.4, Apple announces the first beta of watchOS 9.5. The newer incremental beta goes live for testers. Just like the last incremental upgrade, you can expect minor changes coming to your watch along with the system-wide enhancements. Read along to know more about watchOS 9.5 beta.

Apple plants the new software on the watch with the 20T5527c build number. As always the first beta requires a little more data compared to the next beta releases, today’s release weighs around 318MB in size.

If your watch is compatible with watchOS 9 and you are a developer then you can freely install the new software on your watch. At the moment, the upgrade is available for developers, it will be released to public beta testers in a matter of time.

Just like the previous beta updates, Apple didnโ€™t share any information about changes in the release notes, but you can expect new features and enhancements with this update. And obviously, we can’t expect much from watchOS 9.5 as we are close to the watchOS 10 announcement which will be revealed at the WWDC event.

Hereโ€™s how you can update your Apple Watch to watchOS 9.5 beta.
