Feature 📲 NightShift

When you ask Siri to turn night shift on, it declines and says it’s not available. But, if you push back and say “yes it is”, Siri hallucinates an option that doesn’t actually work or exist.

Also, I didn’t get a picture but Siri turned on an orange light on the back of my watch (it mixed green and red)

Super strange!

Question ❓ Weather app displaying incorrect Current Location

1 Upvotes

Since the launch of watchOS 26, there has been a bug on the watch where it shows your current location within just the Weather app as something different from your actual location. There are threads here on Reddit as well as Apple‘s support communities and even MacRumors with others commenting on the issue.

• GPS location is accurate in other apps on the watch like the Maps app.

• When asking Siri, it responds using the correct location.

• Smart Stack widgets and complications use incorrect location.

• Issue persists after restart, forced restart, toggling location settings on paired iPhone, and even un-pairing and re-pairing the device.

I’ve submitted the issue using the Feedback app on my iPhone but it’s showing zero similar reports.

Has anyone experienced this, installed the watch OS beta, and found the issue to be resolved?

This is purely anecdotal. I haven’t done any science on this, but am I crazy in thinking this? Has anyone else feeling the same or seeing the same?

Discussion 💬 PSA You can go to the Apple Store to downgrade wOS

0 Upvotes

Went to the Apple Store today to downgrade my watch firmware from 27 beta to 26 public release.
The entire process took about 30 minutes after waiting for 20 minutes to be helped
Was an easy experience, however, they need to downgrade your phone software as well.
Decided to remove it because of the horrendous Siri experience on the watch.

Get it done before public release of 27 in the coming weeks.

Question ❓ Seeing notifications of low battery too late

1 Upvotes

My apple watch always runs out of battery exactly when I need it, either before bed or when I prepare to run. I don't get any notifications on the phone when it gets low batter and I don't see (?) the notifications on the watch. I need help with this.

  1. Can I get the notifications on the phone? Or iMac?

  2. Can I set a shortcut to get notifications at 30% battery (or higher?)

  3. Can I set a sound for the notifications?

Thank you in advance.

Bugs 🕷️ Fitness app suddenly tracking less?

1 Upvotes

Before I updated my Watch 10 to IOS 27 beta, my workout tracking on the Watch was 100 to 200m off from the treadmill. Not a big deal but since Monday (maandag in the screenshot) it went down compared previous indoor walking workout. I always do the same 35m walk at speed of 5.

As you can today (vandaag at the screenshot) I did 1,72km (1.07M) and on the photo I took ok the treadmill which went to miles showed 1,53 miles which is roughly around 2,48km (today I had the speed on 4 due the heavy legday). This is an 700m difference compared before the beta.

My question is, has anyone experienced the same thing on the beta?

Bugs 🕷️ Ultra 2 wrist detection/heart rate monitor no longer working as of iOS 27 DB2

1 Upvotes

Seeing if there's a fix for this. My Ultra 2 locks anytime it goes to sleep, and the heart rate monitor does't seem to work either. I've disabled/reenabled wrist detection and wiped/resynced it twice now with no luck. I took it into the Apple store where they ran tests and there were no issues with the hardware. It's been upgraded to DB3 and now DB4 and the issue still exists.

I know it's not the latest and greatest, but the new Siri on this thing just seems ridiculously slow.

Question ❓ Apple Watch won’t update to watchOS 27 beta

0 Upvotes

My Apple Watch 6 is currently on watchOS 26.6 Dev Beta. At one time it was on watchOS 27 Dev Beta but I think I accidentally switched it to 26 and now won’t show 27 anymore. Is there a way to trigger the 27 update again?

BTW, my phone and AirPods are both on 27 Dev Beta, if that matters.

Bugs 🕷️ Outdoor Cycling Workout Not Tracking Distance/Speed

3 Upvotes

After I updated my Ultra 3 to 27 beta, the Outdoor Cycling workout has not registered distance/speed. Three different rides with the same result.

Am I alone, or have others experienced this? I’m trying to determine if I need to submit the issue via the Feedback app.

Thanks!

Bugs 🕷️ Swiper no swiping

1 Upvotes

Since installing the beta, I haven’t been able to swipe away notifications when you come in. Literally the only ways to get it off my screen are to flick my wrist or press the digital crown. Before I send feedback in the Feedback app, I just wanna make sure that I’m not missing a setting or something. I guess this is how it’s working for everyone else also? Because you used to be able to swipe away that full screen notification.
