Pavel Jelic Two weeks ago, at the WWDC22 developer conference, Apple introduced brand new versions of its operating systems, namely iOS and iPadOS 16, macOS 13 Ventura, and watchOS 9. All of these operating systems are available for download to all developers, and will be available to the public in a few months. In the editorial office, however, we are already testing all the news and bringing you all the necessary information so you know what you can look forward to. In this article, we'll show you 5 new features in watchOS 9 that you probably didn't know about.
A redesign of Siri
Do you use Siri on your Apple Watch? If yes, then you know that it has a full screen interface. However, in watchOS 9, there has been a change, and the Siri interface is much smaller when invoked – specifically, it only appears small ball at the bottom of the screen, which indicates that Siri is active and listening to you.
Turning off the water and sleep lock
If you've ever activated the so-called "water mode" or sleep mode, you surely know that you had to turn the digital crown to unlock the Apple Watch. However, this has also changed in watchOS 9, and the way to unlock a locked Apple Watch with active water lock or sleep mode has changed. Instead of turning the digital crown, it is now necessary to to push for some time.
Change font size
The Apple Watch display is really small, which may be a problem for some users. Fortunately, Apple also thought of them and added the option to change the font size to watchOS some time ago. It is now possible to change the font size directly from the control center through the element. You add it so that in control center you tap dole na edit, and then you add the element aA. Subsequently, it is enough for him every time tap to make changes.

The same is specifically required to turn it off hold the side button, after that, however, it is necessary to press on the top right shutdown icon, and only after slide the slider. This should prevent the watch from accidentally turning off.
Development mode
The Apple Watch includes a new special Development Mode that serves developers. If you enable it, the security of the watch will be reduced, but developers will get access to all the system components they need to test their applications. Development mode is also available on other operating systems. You activate it on the Apple Watch in Settings → Privacy and security → Development mode.
