Apple has just released the watchOS 9.6 third beta for developers. This incremental beta comes two weeks after the release of the second beta. It will also be released for public beta testers in a matter of time, read along to know more details about the new watchOS 9.6 third beta update.

Apple is pushing the new software to eligible watches with the 20U5548c version number. Today’s release weighs 340MB in size which is relatively bigger than the previous beta. You can freely install the new beta on your Apple Watch from the software updates. The upgrade is available to everyone running on the watchOS 9 or later versions.

Following the previous trends, Apple didn’t mention anything in the release notes of the watchOS 9.6 third beta, but you can expect a few enhancements with this update. Apple has already teased a milestone upgrade – watchOS 10, coming to Apple Watches later this fall, so we can’t expect much from the watchOS 9.6 beta.

Here’s how you can upgrade your watch to the watchOS 9.6 beta.
