Apple Releases watchOS 11 with New Features at WWDC 24
TapTechNews June 11th news, after introducing the feature-rich watchOS 10 last year, Apple officially launched the new generation of Apple Watch operating system - watchOS 11 at the WWDC 24 conference today. Although the update amplitude of watchOS 11 is not particularly large compared to the radical watchOS 10, it still adds some practical features to make the performance of Apple Watch in the health and fitness field even better.
The following are the main updates that the watchOS 11, which will be released in the autumn, will bring:
Firstly, the Activity Rings have迎来了 more flexible settings and finally support setting 'Rest Days', allowing users to maintain fitness motivation while also relaxing reasonably without affecting the medal acquisition progress. In addition, users can also set personalized Activity Rings goals for different days of the week, such as higher goals on weekdays and slightly relaxing on weekends.
Want to improve the training level? The newly added 'Training Load' function in watchOS 11 will estimate the exercise load for you and allow you to adjust it after the exercise. By comprehensively integrating data such as heart rate, altitude, exercise duration, age, and weight, calculate the user's exercise intensity and training load to help users scientifically arrange the exercise plan.
watchOS 11 launched the new health data application 'Vitals', which can intuitively present your health data, allowing you to more conveniently understand your own health status and make decisions conducive to a healthy lifestyle. This application enables users to visually check daily health data and compare with historical data. The system will highlight data that exceeds the user's normal health state and provide comprehensive analysis information to help users understand the possible impacts of these data changes. For example, when a user has multiple abnormal health indicators simultaneously, the system will give targeted prompts.
The 'Menstrual Tracking' function specifically designed for women's health has been upgraded. Now it can estimate the pregnancy period and visually present pregnancy-related information in the chart, such as changes in the high heart rate notification threshold.
The SmartStack will also become more intelligent, and the system will automatically add useful widgets according to different scenarios. For example, when users travel abroad, the translation App will automatically appear in the SmartStack; when it is about to rain, the weather App will also appear适时. In addition, watchOS 11 also introduced the 'Live Activities' function to facilitate users to obtain various information in real time.
It is worth mentioning that watchOS 11 has also added a new exercise link function. After users complete outdoor sports such as late-night running, they can share the exercise process with friends to let them know about your safety status. This update also brought a translation App for the Apple Watch, allowing users to directly translate languages on the watch.
