Summarize This Article:

Apple has just released the sixth beta of watchOS 26 for testing purposes. Apple manages to release the new update just a week after the fifth beta release. The incremental upgrade brings a few tweaks, enhancements, and fixes. Read on to learn more about the newly released watchOS 26 beta 6 update.

Apple pushes the new beta to compatible watch models with 23R5340a build number. The incremental beta weighs approximately 600MB in download size on my Apple Watch Series 7. If your Apple Watch is compatible with watchOS 26 or 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 sixth beta, we can expect the second public beta release later this week or maybe early next week.

With recent beta releases, watchOS 26 has matured, which means you’re likely to encounter fewer bugs compared to initial builds, 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 sixth 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.
