watchOS 5 Beta 2 brings the radio function for the first time

Last night, Apple released a new version of all its current beta versions of individual operating systems, which will arrive in a few months. Developers (or those who have access to the beta) can download new versions of iOS 12, Watch 5 or macOS 10.14. Even in the evening, the first major changes that arrived with the new updates began to appear on the website. This time, we will please Apple Watch owners the most.

However, they also had to suffer because the first beta of watchOS 5 was withdrawn from circulation shortly after its launch, as it occasionally caused damage to the device. However, Apple has fixed the problem, and the new beta apparently does not suffer from it either. The version released yesterday comes with one of the bigger draws that Apple introduced at the keynote two weeks ago.

In watchOS 5 Beta 2, users will finally be able to try out the walkie-talkie mode. In the watchOS system, this is a special application, after opening which you will see a list of contacts to whom you can record and send a message. All you have to do is choose a name, write a message and send, or wait for a reply. The recipient will see a notification on their watch with the option of receiving a spoken message. As soon as the connection is confirmed for the first time, the whole system works like normal radios without the need to confirm anything or wait for data transmission.

Editors of foreign servers have already tried this new feature and it is said to work flawlessly. The transmission quality is very good and functionally there are no problems with the new mode either. The walkie-talkie application allows you to turn off notifications or completely turn off this function, after which you will be unreachable. You can see details from the user interface in the images below. In addition to this news, some new information regarding the Apple Watch also appeared in iOS 12. Here, we managed to find information about upcoming models deep in the system. It's nothing specific, the only thing that appeared in the log are four different codes for the upcoming Apple Watch. In September, we will see four different models.
