Apple Seeds watchOS 3.2 Beta 1 With Theater Mode, SiriKit
Registered developers can now download watchOS 3.2 beta 1 for the Apple Watch using the companion iPhone app.
Theater Mode
Theater Mode can be activated by selecting the icon in the Control Center. You can find Control Center by swiping up on any face.
We’ve known about the two major features in the software – Theater Mode and SiriKit – since Apple inadvertently published the release notes last week.
With Theater Mode, users can mute the sound on their watch and disable waking the screen when they raise their wrist. They’ll still be able to receive notifications with haptics. Those can be viewed by tapping the screen or pressing the Digital Crown.
SiriKit will allow users to accomplish tasks like book a ride, send a message, make a payment, or make other requests to an app. The functionality arrived on the iPhone and iPad in iOS 10.
The software should officially arrive sometime this spring, along with iOS 10.3 and tvOS 10.2.
