SiriKit lets developers tap into Siri on the watch, while Theater Mode mutes sound and stops waking the screen when wrist is turned
Apple has released WatchOS 3.2 Beta 1 software update for developers and its offers a glimpse into the features that the Apple Watch might get in the future. The update brings SiriKit as well as a new Theater Mode for developers. SiriKit lets developers tap into Siri on the watch and lets users book rides, make payments, make calls and more. Theater Mode lets users mute the sound on the Apple Watch and doesn’t turn on the screen when users raise their wrist. However, they still receive notifications via haptic feedback, and can view the display by tapping the screen or pressing the Digital Crown.
WatchOS 3 rolled out to the Apple Watch just a few days after the company unveiled the the new Apple Watch Series 2. The update reduced the launch times for apps and introduced a new Control Center for accessing the most-used settings on the watch. Users will also be able to reply with custom messages from the Watch itself by scribbling text on the display. The update also brought new watch faces, Activity Sharing and more.
