On September 16, 2025, Apple formally rolled out the watchOS 26 system, delivering a completely revamped experience to users of Apple Watch Series 6 and subsequent models. The freshly introduced system boasts a Liquid Glass interface design. This design leverages real-time rendering technology to amplify visual effects, significantly boosting the level of interactive immersion.

In addition, a brand-new Memos app has made its debut. With this app, users can effortlessly create and browse memos right on their Apple Watch. What's more, they can record memos using simple Siri voice commands, streamlining the note-taking process.

When it comes to gesture controls, watchOS 26 offers even greater convenience. A mere flick of the wrist enables users to dismiss notifications, silence incoming calls, and perform a host of other actions, making interactions with the device more intuitive and seamless.

Furthermore, the latest watch models are the exclusive recipients of Apple Intelligence features. These include real-time translation capabilities, allowing for instant language conversion, and contextual reply functions, which generate appropriate responses based on the ongoing conversation context.
