watchOS 27 public beta 3 for Apple Watch his now ready for download over the air with same changes as developer beta 5.

Public Beta 3 of watchOS 27 Now Available for Download on Apple Watch with Performance Improvements and Other Fixes

It almost feels like Apple went on a vacation after releasing watchOS 27 developer beta 4 and public beta 2. But don’t worry, that’s not the case at all because Apple released watchOS 27 beta 5 earlier this week, and today we can download watchOS 27 public beta 3.

Just like any other developer or public beta update, you have to follow the same steps in order to install watchOS 27 public beta 3, and these are those steps:

  • Place your Apple Watch on its magnetic charger.
  • Make sure your iPhone and Apple Watch are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Launch the Watch app on your iPhone.
  • Now tap on General, and then tap on Software Update.
  • Select Download and Install when you see the new public beta update.

The update will take a while to install, and once it’s complete, I will suggest leaving your Apple Watch on charge for at least half an hour and let the update settle down. Once done, you can start using your Apple Watch normally.

The public beta update is exactly the same as the developer beta which was released on Monday.
