To install the ‌watchOS 7.6 beta, developers need to download the proper configuration profile from the Apple Developer Center. Once the profile is in place, the watchOS beta can be downloaded through the dedicated ‌Apple Watch‌ app on the iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/) by going to General &gt; Software Update.





To update to the new software, the ‌Apple Watch‌ needs to have 50 percent battery life, it must be placed on the charger, and it must be in range of the ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌&zwnj;iPhone&zwnj;‌‌‌‌‌‌‌.





According to Apple's release notes for the update, watchOS 7.6 adds support for the ECG app and irregular heart rhythm notifications in 30 additional regions (https://www.apple.com/watchos/feature-availability/). <div class="linkback">Related Roundups: watchOS 7 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/watchos-7/), watchOS 8  (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/watchos-8/)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: iOS, Mac, tvOS, watchOS Programming (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ios-mac-tvos-watchos-programming.135)</div>
