WWDC 2025 has given our first glance to Watchos 26, bringing with them new features that include training friends, reproduction lists linked to their exercise plans and a long -awaited review of the UI. It is not likely that Watchos 26 will arrive until September, but we are already excited to face it.
However, it will not be for everyone, and we do not mean that users choose not to update, some simply cannot do it.
