Apple Releases watchOS 11 With Revamped Smart Stack, Vitals App, Activity Breaks and More

Apple today released watchOS 11, the latest version of the operating system that runs on the Apple Watch. ‌watchOS 11‌ is compatible with the Apple Watch Series 6 and later, all Apple Watch Ultra models, and the Apple Watch SE 2.


‌watchOS 11‌ can be downloaded for free on an iPhone running iOS 18 by opening up the Apple Watch app and going to General > Software Update. To install the new software, the Apple Watch needs to have at least 50 percent battery and it needs to be placed on a charger.

‌watchOS 11‌ overhauls the Smart Stack that you can get to by turning the Digital Crown. There are new widgets like Shazam and Photos, plus the Apple Watch now supports interactive widgets and Live Activities.

The Messages Check In feature is now available on the Apple Watch, so you can check in when going to the gym or heading out on a nighttime run, allowing a family member or friend to get a notification when your workout ends to make sure you get back home safely.

A new Vitals app provides context about key health metrics measured during sleep, including heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, and blood oxygen, providing a daily report on whether everything is in a typical range. Training Load is available for athletes preparing for an event like a marathon, and the Workout app supports more workout types.

The Fitness app has customizable activity rings that can be changed on a per-day basis, so you can set higher goals on weekdays or weekends, for example. You can also now pause your streak for rest days or due to an illness or injury, providing a way to avoid ruining a long Activity streak when you're sick or need a break.

Apple added the Translate app to the Apple Watch so you can get translations right on your wrist, plus there's a Translate app widget. Apple Maps has hikes for all U.S. national parks, and you can create your own walking and hiking routes. Apple's full release notes for ‌watchOS 11‌ are below.
watchOS 11 brings powerful health and fitness insights, along with even more personalization, intelligence, and ways to stay connected, to the world's most popular watch. It has new experiences that provide deeper insights into your daily health status and help you understand the impact of your workouts over time. watchOS 11 uses the power of machine learning to help you easily create the perfect Photos watch face and the Smart Stack becomes even more intelligent and capable with suggested widgets, interactive widgets, and Live Activities.
