Apple has made watchOS 9 available along with iOS 16. You must first download iOS 16 onto your iPhone in order to apply the update on your smartwatch. If you have an Apple Watch Series 3, you won’t be able to get the software because Apple is discontinuing support for its 2017 watch; instead, enter the Settings app and select “General,” “Software,” and then “Update.” It’s also important to keep in mind that not all watchOS 9 features will work with every Apple Watch or be available in every location.

Like previous versions, watchOS 9 places a lot of emphasis on fitness. When exercising and reviewing your sleep habits, you will now be able to see your heart rate zones. Additionally, there is support for multisport exercises and a way to track your individual best results. You can also configure the software to send you reminders to take your meds. A new Siri interface, Quick actions, and a number of new watch faces are additional new features.
