After seeding the fifth beta versions of iOS 11.3 and tvOS 11.3, Apple has followed up with watchOS 4.3 beta 5 for registered developers.
Here are some notable changes in the software:
- There is now a Nightstand Mode when charging a watch in landscape orientation.
- Activity information is now available to view in the Siri watch face.
- The Music app can control music playback on an iPhone.
- A new charging animation.
- A new animation when a watch is used to unlock a Mac.
The return of iPhone music controls on the watch is an especially nice addition.
Users should expect the final version of the software to arrive sometime this spring.
