Continue reading to gain comprehensive insights into this remarkable upgrade.
The latest iteration of the beta labels, bearing the build number 21S5349e, has been introduced. These labels have a size of approximately 348MB, making them notably smaller in comparison to the previous beta version. Indeed, it is possible to expeditiously initiate the download process on your wearable device and proceed with updating it to the most recent beta version. Currently, the update is exclusively accessible to testers, with plans to extend availability to public beta testers in the near future.
In the list of changes, the release notes do not provide any new information. However, it is worth noting that watchOS 10.2 now includes support for iMessage Contact Key Verification specifically designed for government officials, journalists, and human rights activists.
One important security feature, iMessage Contact Key Verification, is coming with the new software, designed to tackle extraordinary digital threats.
