Apple Released watchOS 10.4 To public with new features

March 8, 2024

Apple has allowed the general public to access WatchOS 10.4. The update, as anticipated, introduces several significant modifications.

Apple is seeding the most recent software version with the build number 21T216. The upgrade on my Apple Watch Series 7 is around 750MB in size. Please get the latest iOS 17.4 on your iPhone before you can install it on your watch.

With this version, the Snoopy watch face gets some new animations and some other improvements. Apple introduced many new watch bands and cases very recently. These color schemes are reflected in the Color Watch face, which receives brand-new hues for Spring 2024.

Apple included 118 new emojis in the most recent iOS 17.4 update, which was based on Unicode 15.1 and Emoji 15.1. You’ll be happy to hear that the Apple Watch now supports a whole new set of emojis with the release of watchOS 10.4. In addition to the new emojis, iMessage now incorporates the latest PQ3 security requirements.

Here’s the complete watchOS 10.4 changelog.
