How to use your iPhone to install the watchOS beta
The certificate informs your iPhone’s Watch app that the watchOS beta is available. When the Watch app finds the update, follow the steps below to install it like any other watchOS update. (If the beta does not appear, reboot.)
- Connect your iPhone to the internet and open the Apple Watch application.
- Select the My Watch option.
- Then, select General.
- Select Software Update from the menu.
- Select Download and Install from the menu.
- Enter the passcode for your iPhone.
- Accept the Terms and Conditions by tapping Agree.
- Connect your Apple Watch to the magnetic charger once it has been charged to at least 50%.
- On your iPhone and/or Apple Watch, tap Install.
- The watchOS update will be downloaded and transferred to your Apple Watch, which will then reboot to install the update. You can keep track of the progress on your Apple Watch screen, and once it’s finished, you’re ready to go.
If the verification stage of the watchOS upgrade fails, try again. If it continues to fail, unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch before trying again. (Before you go through the un-pairing and re-pairing process, double-check that verification isn’t functioning for you.)

- Now, select Update Software.
- Select Install.
- Tap OK.
- On your iPhone, open the Watch app.
- While remaining on your iPhone, accept the Terms & Conditions.
- Tap Download & Install on your Apple Watch.
- For the update to install, your Apple Watch must be connected to a charger, and it won’t do so until the battery level is at least 50%.
How can I uninstall watchOS?
We can’t reproduce the instructions for reverting back to watchOS because they are hidden behind the developer centre login. Simply said, you can’t do it on your own. Your Apple Watch must be returned to Apple. Anyone who doesn’t definitely require the developer beta should think twice about installing it in the first place.
