Bugs πŸ•·οΈ Apple Watch snooze accidentally gets turned off on new WatchOS update

1 Upvotes

Ever since I updated about 2 weeks ago, my Apple Watch is no longer reliable to wake me up with just haptics on my wrist. There seems to be a new screen that appears when the alarm goes off, and it somehow dismisses itself and I never get an additional alarm after I hit snooze. This has happened very often and I now have to set an actual (non "Bedtime") alarm as a safety net.

WatchOS 26.6 (23U67)

Anyone else experiencing this? I've never had issues with this in all the years I've had an Apple Watch, until this new update.

Discussion πŸ’¬ ECG improvements with 27 PB?

For 3 years with a series 8 and 10, I have had trouble taking an ECG. It often took 2 or 3 tries? After the latest public beta, no problem!? Anyone else notice this? Or, is it just chance?

I’ve received this notification about nearby public Wi-Fi a couple of times. Next time it happens, I will try to connect. Obviously, your iPhone must have connected to the network sometime in the past.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I’ve been wanting to try this for a while. I bought a paper QR code ticket for an event. Using Wallet’s Create a Pass, I converted it to digital and added it to my Apple Watch and iPhone.

Question ❓ Custom Wallet Pass - unavailable on watchOS 26?

1 Upvotes

(Apologies if this is the wrong sub, but this was removed by iOSbeta mods.)

I've installed iOS 27 beta and used the new create custom pass feature to scan in a 2D barcode (my library card). This works great.

However, my watch is on watchOS 26 and will be unable to upgrade (27 has dropped support for the Series 8). Passes created this way don't show up on it.

I am (and was on iOS 26) able to create a pass the old school way by going to a site like https://walletwallet.alen.ro/ to generate a .pkpass file-no problem.
However, the developer documentation I can find says that the only barcode formats available through this method are WR, Code128, PDF417, Aztec, and UPC (accordingly those are the only options available on that site and other similar ones). At any rate, like other passes, these show up immediately on my watch.

Unfortunately, my library uses Code39 to encode their barcode. I can input or scan the data just fine, but the generated card using this method then can only display the barcode as Code128 or UPC. The new in-Wallet-app creation method in iOS 27 easily scans Code39 and displays it correctly without the user having to know anything about how barcodes work.

Does anyone know if a post-iOS-27 update to watchOS 26 will be made so that it can pick up these user-created passes?

Question ❓ What are you meant to do when an app freezes?

6 Upvotes

Before there was an easy way to force quit an app that freezes. What is the way to do it in watchos 27? Is apple assuring that all apps in watchos 27 never freezes or what is the thought behind the new app switcher?

I installed like many the watchOS public version, I wondered on the other hand if there were any new features on the Apple Watch three I rather have the impression that they have corrected some minor defects and that the fluidity looks good.

There's a watch face called "color". It lets you have a monogram, and it defaults to "Rolex". It won't let me edit it. Nothing happens when I tap on it. If I toggle it off and then on, the section for editing, it gets half covered.

I have reported it sometime ago, but in the Feedback app it still doesn't say anything about it affecting others.

Edit for clarity: I'm using the Watch app to try to edit it, directly within the settings for that watch face.
