Summarize This Article:

While everyone was expecting Apple to release the public beta of iOS 26, watchOS 26, and other operating systems today, the company instead rolled out another incremental beta – the fourth beta of watchOS 26 and iOS 26. The gradual upgrade comes after two weeks of the third beta and is expected to bring enhancements and bug fixes.

Apple pushes the watchOS 26 beta 4 with 23R5317g build number. The incremental upgrade weighs around 520MB in size, relatively smaller compared to the previous beta. If you’re a developer, you can freely upgrade your Apple Watch to the latest beta.

Talking about the compatibility, the upgrade is available for those who own the Apple Watch Series 6 or newer models. If everything goes fine with the fourth beta, we can expect the public beta release later this week or maybe early next week.

watchOS 26 is still in its initial phases, which means you can face bugs and issues on your Apple Watch, it also means the update is not suitable for regular use. As always, Apple didn’t mention any changes in the release notes of watchOS 26 fourth beta.

Talking about the features of watchOS 26, the new OS adopts the Liquid Glass design elements, Apple Intelligence-powered Workout Buddy, improved smart stack, messages, and more.
