Apple Seeds Second Beta of watchOS 4.1 to Developers

[giwalt]

Hmm - I could of sworn I’d seen people with Series 2 doing the streaming thing over WiFi ... 🙁

Maybe I am doing something wrong. Let me (us) know if you can stream on WiFi with Series 2.

I have been unable to get WiFi streaming on Series 2. (Using beta 2 on Series 2) I can control (e.g stop, start, skip) music that is already playing on iPhone from my Series 2 but I cannot browse my iPhone music library or Apple Music (I do subscribe to Apple Music) on Series 2 even when on WiFi.

[doublepost=1507584247][/doublepost]Downloaded Watch OS 4.1 Beta 2 to both Series 2 and Series 3. Series 2 no radio app, no playlists from iPhone. Series 3 I get both. Have Apple Music Subscription.

I only have Series 2 (not Series 3) but my experience is the same as what you report on your Series 2. I have read reports that you can stream via WiFi but I don't seem to be able to nor can I browse playlists from iPhone (which I could do with Watch OS 3).

Could anyone with AW2 tell me how is the battery life with watch os4.1? I know that the amount usage on the watch cause massive drain, but i like to know how efficient is the software to preserve battery.

For us original Apple Watch owners 4.1 betas are great for performance, not so great for battery life.

Is on this new beta the Wi-Fi toggle also present in Control Center on the Apple Watch Series 2 models?

Not on Series 2 - but that feature works on Series 3.
