This is one of the many 'little' tweaks that make the Watch that much more effortless to use. Another one is the 'Now Playing' screen that opens up when you start music on your phone. I normally have to go digging for it. Even though it's in the Dock, it seems like I'm always scrolling to get it.
I'm sure there will more 'discoveries' the more wOS4b gets around.
Just stopping by to check out the watchOS 4 (beta 1)...looks good. I will probably be joining you guys around iOS 11 Beta 5. Thanks for the info.
watchOS is typically not available as a public beta since you can't revert on your own (without sending it in to Apple). iOS and macOS are generally available as public beta though.
Just switched to the Siri face to give it a spin.
Ah, that's right. I did the iOS beta just so I could do the wOS beta, and forgot that.
No worries! If there was a way to revert back easily I'm sure they'd do it!
I love the idea of the alphabetized list, maybe one suggestion would be to be able to tag favorites so I can see them at the top, then the rest in order.
Just my 2 cents though....
Welcome to iMore Jeff! I agree with your suggestion. Being able to put a few favorites at the top of the list would be a good option. I guess the next best substitute for that would be to put those apps in the dock.
Ever since beta 2, I am unable to edit an item out of my dock favorites. It instantly crashes the watch app on iPhone every time. I've rebooted both phone and watch, but have not been able to remove any items without the crash. Have any of you found a workaround to this?
Press the side button to open the dock. Slide the app you want to remove to right and tap remove.
Works every time for me. And yes, in the phone app it crashes.
Thanks, man! never thought about doing it that way! Appreciate the workaround.
No worries. You’re welcome.
Public beta? For real? I thought that using betas on Watch was frowned on due to the risk of bricking.
Ha ha, I was in a state of disbelief I guess.
