Apple Watch users will now be able to access widgets from any watchface by turning the Digital Crown. This will reveal a Smart Stack with any information that may be important. Users can also choose to customize the widgets.

The Activity app has been redesigned with more information in a more accessible format, making full use of the screen.

Snoopy and Woodstock are now options for watch faces as well.

Apple Watch can now connect to Bluetooth sensors on bikes to access information that the watch may not be able to collect on its own, such as power and motion data. 

Cycling workouts now show up as a Live Activity on the user’s iPhone, which allows them to see more information at a glance when the device is mounted to the bike.

The Compass app now adds two new types of waypoints — one will show the last place that a user had cellular data and the other will show the closest location that a user can make an emergency call using any carrier’s network. Compass will also show elevation.

Apple Watch now allows users to track their mental health using the Mindfulness app. Users will now be able to log their emotions and what has contributed to their feelings. This data, along with other information, will be accessible through the Health app on iPhone. Users can then take standardized mental health assessments often used in clinics directly from their phone. This will provide information like a user’s risk for depression and anxiety. 

Apple Watch will use the ambient light sensor to track how much time a user has spent in daylight, which can decrease the risk of myopia or nearsightedness. 

Another feature to help lower the chances of users becoming nearsighted is a feature called Screen Distance. It uses sensors on iPhone and iPad to alert users when they may be holding a device too close and prompt them to move the device further away. 

The developer beta for this software became available on Monday and public betas will be available in July. The update will be available to all users in the fall.
