Unfortunately, most liquid glass redigies have been adapted to a large screen of Mac, iPhone and iPad. But hey, look, the points on the face of the clock are now a transit frost! When you look closely, you can also see a slight speech highlight around the edges of the button. Smart Stack- Apple’s leveled widget system- will also use liquid glass so that the screen cannot be unclear.
Workout friend
The workout large uses all exercise data accumulated by Apple Watch -Rate, Pace, Distance, etc. during its exercise session, and use it to offer personal, excited encouragement (“You crushed it!”). Apple Intelligence analyzes your data to provide these insights and use voice incentives received from fitness+ trainers. It can also mark the major moments, such as driving a mile, especially rapidly. It is just available for some exercises, such as indoor and outdoor walking or driving, outdoor cycling, functional and traditional power training, and hiit- and yes, you can close it if the idea of a cheerleider in your ear is also hell for you.
The workout app has also done a redesign, it is easy to tap on each feature with four buttons in four corners of the watch face. Users can set music and podcast within the workout app, and Apple Music can either select music or provide suggestions for a suitable playlist.

A machine-learning model uses data from accelerometer and gyroscope to catch the user’s wrist movement.
Watch now also supports live translations in messages (again, you will need an apple intelligence-competent iPhone). If your language is set in English, the watch will indicate in messages, such as suggesting Apple Cash if the user is asked for donations. Call screening and hold assist will also come on the phone app on the watch, allowing users to decide whether to take the call or fall or ask for more information.
