watchOS 11.1 beta 5 is out for developers!

Apple has been testing the watchOS 11.1 beta since last month, releasing a total of four beta builds so far. The fifth beta of watchOS 11.1 is now available to developers for testing. The newest beta comes out after one week of the fourth beta. Just like the previously released incremental beta updates, we can expect bug fixes and improvements.

Apple pushes the latest update with a 22R5575a build number with a download size of 180MB. If you’re a developer or your watch is already running on watchOS 11.1 beta, you can update your watch to the fifth beta for free. The update will also be available for public beta testers in a matter of time.

Speaking of the features, the changelog does not mention any specific features. So, does it mean there are no new features coming with watchOS 11.1? No, you can expect the update to bring some Apple Intelligence features, as well as other features to the watch. Apart from that you can expect system-wide, enhancements, and bug fixes.
