watchOS 27 Beta Thread

Yes it was, but on my watch I have the “listen for” turned off, and the “raise to speak” turned on. So if there is a request that I want to make through my watch I raise the watch to within a few inches of my mouth and speak without saying “Siri or Hey Siri” and say whatever it is that I want it to do. Works quite well for me, and doesn’t trigger Siri at all (on my iPhone or iPad).

Oh, I see. I don’t use the “raise to speak” feature because it activates too frequently. However, it still functions as intended to set timers or reminders on the watch, right? Try using it without the iPhone.

Some good news. I reported the Workout Outdoor Run/Walk (and I'm sure other outdoor workouts) and Apple had me install a Profile on my watch and iPhone to upload the problem as it happened. Well lo and behold it is fixed, or at lest I did a test 1 mile Outdoor Walk this morning (ran yesterday pre update) and it rendered a Map. Will run Thursday and check. will still run Strava also just in case.

Yes, everything functions as it should, and I never have had it activate unless I was giving a voice command.

As a test for you, I turned my iPhone and iPad off, then raised the watch and verbally said “set timer for 5 minutes”. It set a timer for 5 minutes like it should. I’m not sure why my device works and others don’t, just lucky I guess.

That’s quite interesting! Is your Series 11 cellular?

For my other beta testers, did yours perform just as well as his, and on other Apple Watch models like the Apple Watch Ultra or Series 9/10? Was it a public or developer beta?

It’s a basic Series 11 GPS, no cellular.

ETA - I installed 27 dev beta 5 yesterday id that matters.
