On 26.1 beta 1, I can now see the name and the pictures of the favorite contacts on phone interface.
Got a tip for us?

It was a bug before. Sometimes the pictures were missing, sometimes the name was replaced by the phone number.
Thanks for sharing more information about this.
So it ain’t a change in this beta then, right?
Is anyone else having trouble getting their Apple Watch off the developer beta? I have beta updates set to off, but I keep getting notifications on my watch saying the update was not installed overnight.
Delete the download update file from your watch to stop the notifications.
Yep. In the watch app, go to General->Storage and delete the Developer Beta download.
Interesting fact to read…

as always, what do you need in watchOS 26.1 beta
If you need it for a specific purpose, install it...
Otherwise, I don't see the point.

remember you cant go back to 26.0 if there are issues you encounter.. have to send your watch in to apple to go back to 26.0
