Apple releases watchOS 7.3, incorporates new watch face, expanded ECG support with update

This could definitely come in handy.

Apple on Tuesday released watchOS, the newest version of its watchOS operating systems for its Apple Watch devices.

Apple has just released watchOS 7.3 to the public with a new Unity watch face and expanded ECG support.

In addition to the usual slate of bug fixes and user experience improvements, the update offers the following changes:

  • Unity watch face— inspired by the colors of the Pan-African Flag, the shapes change throughout the day as you move creating a face that’s unique to you
  • Time to Walk for Apple Fitness+ subscribers— an audio experience in the Workout app where guests share inspiring stories as you walk
  • ECG app on Apple Watch Series 4 or later in Japan, Mayotte, Philippines, and Thailand
  • Irregular heart rhythm notifications in Japan, Mayotte, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand
  • Fix for an issue where Control Center and Notification Center may be unresponsive when Zoom is enabled

Users can update watchOS to the latest build by opening the Apple Watch app on their iPhone, tapping My Watch, then General, then Software Update, then Install. Once downloaded, the Apple Watch should be placed on a charger to allow the update to install.

The update can also be performed directly on the Apple Watch by entering the Settings app, tapping General, then Software Update, then Install. Users with automatic updates will receive the update once it has downloaded and installed during the next available charging period.

If you’ve tried the update, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
