After updating my Apple Watch Ultra 2 to the watchOS 26 beta, I immediately noticed a difference. The next version of Apple’s smartwatch software puts Liquid Glass design elements like transparent icons front and center for a fresh aesthetic that will be consistent across the company's platforms. First announced at WWDC in June, the watchOS 26 public beta is available to download and try now ahead of its general release this fall.
