Apple[1] on Tuesday rolled out iOS 11[2], watchOS 4[3], and tvOS 11 worldwide for its products. While we've already covered everything new about the iOS 11 and how iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users can download it, we now take a look at what's new with the newest OS versions for the Apple Watch and the Apple TV.
What's new with watchOS 4
Coming to watchOS 4 for Apple Watch[4] first, the new update brings a bunch of new additions and enhancements, the highlight of them being the integration of Siri[5]. With the new update, Apple Watch owners will now be able to use Apple's voice assistant directly through the wearable. This will come particularly in handy for when Apple Watch Series 3 becomes available as users will be able to make calls and stream Apple Music[6] by simply commanding Siri to do so. Apart from this, the new update brings three new watch faces including Toy Story and a Siri watch face that features a proactive timeline that will show new and relevant information as the machine learning algorithm adapts to the user's habits.
The new update also improves Workout algorithms for tasks such as swimming, high intensity interval training, and also supports multiple workouts in a single session. You'll also be able to access Now Playing controls during workout, turn on Do Not Disturb during workout. Apple Music also gets better as you can now automatically sync Apple Music playlists as well as frequently played music and recently added ones.
