WatchOS 6: That could bring the software

The operators of the website birchtree.me have set up a list of potential innovations and draw an exciting idea of ​​watchOS 6. So, the website wishes for a new and tidier design for the Siri dial. The information page introduced with watchOS 4 displays not only the date and time but also details such as the weather and current headlines, but seems a little overloaded. The suggestion: Apple could make the ad less colorful and more eye-friendly and clearer.

watchOS 6: More overview desired

Also urgently needed: a better treatment of the collected sleep data. The Apple Watch makes detailed recordings of your sleep behavior on request. The representation of the collected information is, however, anything but accessible, which is why a simplistic visualization, for example, as a simple ring graphic should accommodate many users.

In addition, according to the authors, watchOS 6 should return to a horizontal view in the overview of the open apps mentioned in the dock, as was the case in earlier versions. As ideal they consider a grid arrangement of the used programs. Currently users are wiping vertically through the list of individual applications.

watchOS 6: More collaboration with the iPhone

Also, a stronger synchronization of iPhone applications with the Apple Watch keep the writers in need of much. For example, in addition to music players and fitness apps, the camera or stopwatch should automatically pop up on the watch when users activate it on their phone. So iPhone and Apple Watch could work more as a unit.

Finally, Apple should simplify the data transfer between iPhone and smartwatch, here it still hooks in many places, such as when transferring podcasts. As a sweet new digits would be a welcome change, ideally with the option that even third-party providers can provide this. The selection of existing variants has changed only slightly since the start of watchOS. Which of the desired changes will actually make it into the next version of the software remains to be seen.
