i think the force touch - clear all is an option in the notifications swipe down for the notification, not to delete the message themselves. hence - clear, not delete.

I noticed with 2.2 beta 1 I'm no longer getting goal completion when I reach my goals. (Standing, move and exercise)

Even thou the option is turned on in the watch app on the phone.

Anyone else notice this?
 
In beta 2.2 whenever I get a message it will display the thread of messages rather than the notification card...
good luck knowing who the message is from without scrolling!

That's working fine for me. I have 2.2 as well.
 
Is anyone else experiencing bluetooth connection issues with ear/headphones? My earphones have become useless as of the last update.
 
Can someone share the beta profile file for the Apple Watch so that I can install the 2.2 beta on my Apple Watch? Thank you
 
It's in the release notes - Bluetooth connections using a specific standard (I don't recall which) won't work in this beta

Ahh this clears it up - thanks for the reply!

This is why it's important to read the release notes, particularly if you are not a developer on a developer beta.

I agree. Sometimes when other work is heavy though I skip the release notes and do a quick 'will it brick my device?' check on here before updating.
 
I'm glad nobody else does that. Would definitely bloat forums a little bit.

I don't think you understand. I read other peoples comments and threads to see whether the latest betas are 'safe'.

I wouldn't start a new thread to ask whether a beta will brick a device. Maybe you should have checked my post history before having the dig. Great to have the communication though.
 
Anyone notice Siri is faster to respond in 2.2 beta 2? Or is that just me? It seems much quicker than 2.1 at least for me. General things like app opening speeds have improved as well. The workout app used to take 10 seconds or more to launch from a cold boot, now it just takes about 5. Still not great, but hey, I'll take anything I can get.

I hope you're right. Siri takes way to long to react, especially when using HomeKit phrases.

I hope you're correct about this and its not just a placebo effect. Siri has been pretty difficult to use at times, especially for dictation.
 
I'm not sure if this is right, but since the last update, have they changed the colour of the font they use to display the time, to reflect your watch-face? I have the Welsh flag as my watch-face and the time is on the white part. Before the update it was jet black, but now it seems as though it's dark red to better go with the dragon. Anyone else noticed this or are my eyes deceiving me?
 
Sorry for the usual moan but battery life seems worse with WatchOS 2.2 dp3 compared to dp2

I wouldn't consider that a moan but noting an issue. Is the watch like the iPhone in that the battery takes a hit in the first day or so after an OS upgrade?

Could be, but unlikely as it has a lot less going on than iPhone
 
Anyone notice apps being installed even though you don't want them there? It started with b3. I had a few apps I didn't want on my Apple Watch so I had them uninstalled. After the update all the apps reinstalled on their own. I try to manually uninstall and they do get removed but the moment the watch gets disconnected or is restarted they begin to install again. It's very odd.
