Amaya Toman As early as Monday, Apple will present new operating systems for its devices at its WWDC online developer conference. WatchOS 7 for Apple Watch will also be among them. What do we expect from the news and what would we most like?

David Trlica Sleep tracking
The sleep monitoring function is probably one of the most discussed parts of the upcoming watchOS 7. For now, users are dependent on more or less high-quality third-party applications, but many of them would certainly welcome this function to become an integral part of the operating system for the Apple Watch. The feature could work with other watch tools and components, such as heart rate monitoring. Similar to the respective applications, the native sleep monitoring in watchOS 7 could have the option of automatically detecting snoring or other sounds, recording the frequency of movements, or perhaps waking up in the lightest phase of sleep.
An even better selection of apps and watch faces
With the arrival of the watchOS 6 operating system, Apple also introduced its own App Store for the Apple Watch. Many of us would certainly welcome more than one improvement in this direction. With the arrival of watchOS 7, the App Store for Apple Watch could get, for example, better search options or a richer selection of applications both from third-party developers and from Apple. The dials, which are important for many users, could also be improved - either from the point of view of functionality (complication) or for purely aesthetic reasons. Will we see an even better Infograph with new options for adding complications, or even support for third-party watch faces?

Better cooperation with Mac, iPhone and iPad
The newer Apple Watch has better and better options for independent operation, but there are still a few details missing from complete perfection. While collaboration with the iPhone is great in many ways with Apple's smartwatches, it's a bit worse with the Mac. For example, the watchOS 7 operating system could turn the Apple Watch into a remote control for our other Apple devices, including a Mac or iPad, not only for media control, but also for remote locking and other similar functions.

Pavel Jelic Battery management
For example, while iPhones offer the ability to check battery health, adjust consumption and other functions in the settings, the Apple Watch is a little worse off. Here you can check the percentage of the battery charge or turn on the reserve - i.e. similar to reduced consumption, but the Apple Watch battery would certainly "befit" more advanced management functions. At the beginning of this year, for example, we informed you about the Grapher application, which enables battery management of Apple smartwatches. It would certainly be great if Apple incorporated similar features directly into the system in its next version of the watchOS operating system.
