2015-06-11
hey what's going on guys a markings hanging from technobuffalo and in today's video we'll be showing you guys some of the new features included in the latest watch OS to update for the Apple watch we've been playing around with a new update for a few days already and here are some of the new things we found so the first one in our lists are the native apps on the Apple watch a big focus of the new update was on making the experience of using the Apple watch richer and more engaging and Apple is hoping to achieve that by letting apps run natively for better performance this means apps for run entirely on the Apple watch instead of loading them through your iPhone apps will also be more powerful this time around because it'll take advantage of the Apple watch's hardware like it's digital crown for such technology in its heart rate sensor number 2 is a time-travel feature time travel basically lets you see what's coming up in your day things like upcoming events the weather and more up to 72 hours ahead and you can also see past events 72 hours back by turning the digital crown to see what you've been up to the feature is executed by using the digital crown and it's particularly useful when you have a lot of different complications which are the little pieces of information that shows up on your watch face as of now you can only use this feature by using the modular watch phase number three of the new watch faces during WWDC Apple showcase two new customization options for the Apple watch one of which is a new time lapse watch face which shows a time-lapse video of iconic locations around the world like Shanghai New York London Mac lake and Hong Kong if you want even more personalization you can use either a photo album or a single photo the photo album option will cycle through the photos you have sync on your Apple watch while the single photo setting will let you set a particular image as your watch face background nothing too complex but a nice way to make your Apple watch more personal number 3 is a new nightstand mode this new mode will enable the Apple watch to serve as a bedside clock at night when you lay the watch on its side it will display a large digital clock as well as other information like current power level and an alarm it's strange that this feature wasn't here from the beginning but it's certainly a nice addition when your alarm does go off you can press the digital crown to snooze or the side button to turn it off number 4 are the new features in digital touch and friends and watch os/2 you'll now be able to see multiple colors in your doodles but unfortunately only watch os/2 users can see the additional colors in the drawings users who are still on watch OS one will only see single colors also you can add multiple friends screen on the latest update as well as add users directly on your Apple watch previously you'd have to use the Apple watch app on your iPhone to add friends number five is the ability to play back audio from the Apple watch the new update will also allow its users to play back audio directly from the Apple watch a lever your music has to be coming directly from the Apple watch in order to play back audio a can stream music from your iPhone so you need to sync over your music by using the Apple watch app on your iPhone unfortunately in this first watch OS to beta this feature isn't working properly just yet but hopefully we'll get to test this out in future updates number six is the ability to use the onboard mic for third-party apps during apple's keynote Apple mentioned that the watch os2 will now allow its users to use the onboard mic for third-party apps which means apps like Shazam or we chat will now let you use the onboard mic instead of feeding off of the mic from the iphone number seven is a smarter Siri now just like an iOS 9 Siri can do more you can now use Siri to start and end workouts and you can also check your glances get transit information look up a word in the dictionary and calculate a tip number 8 is the ability to reply to emails directly from your Apple watch that's right you can finally reply to emails on your Apple watch just like the messages app you'll be able to reply with canned responses or use voice dictation and that's about it for this beta there's still a lot of new features that we haven't tried yet like the new wallet app that can store credit cards and reward cards for stores and the new maps app would transit information watch always too is now available for developers and will be available to everyone else's fall anyways thank you guys so much for watching and if you guys enjoy this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and we will see you guys in the next one
