Apple has released the second beta of watchOS 11.6 for testing purposes. The incremental upgrades come out after two weeks of initial beta release. The latest update is expected to bring improvements and bugs fixes.
Apple is pushing the watchOS 11.6 beta 2 to eligible Apple Watch models with the 22U5065c build number. The update on my Apple Watch Series 7 weighs 550MB in download size. However, if your watch is already running the first beta, the download size will be smaller.
If you’re a developer, you can freely update your Apple Watch to the latest beta. Apart from the watchOS 11.6 beta, you can also upgrade your watch to the second developer beta of watchOS 26, but keep in mind it is still in its very early testing phase and not suitable for regular use.
When it comes to changes, Apple didn’t mention any changes in the release notes. However, the upcoming software upgrade is expected to enhance the user experience on Apple Watch further.
