Apple is moving forward with its next wave of software updates for the home and wrist. The company just released the first public betas for both watchOS 27.3 and tvOS 27.3. Testers enrolled in the software testing program can now download these early updates to try out the newest features. This rollout comes just days after developers received the initial builds earlier in the week.
Discover the newest smartwatch tools arriving for your wrist
The newest update brings some specific additions for people trying out the watchOS 27 system. The biggest highlights are the new Siri Recap and Live Rewind tools. The tech giant previously announced these tools for the Apple Watch Series 12 and the Apple Watch Ultra 4, and now they are finally showing up for public testing.
These tools aim to help you quickly catch up on missed notifications and audio straight from your wrist. Since these are the same builds that developers saw recently, there are no surprise changes hidden in the software. Everything available today matches what was already sent to the developer channel.

Try the television update and join the testing program
Alongside the watch features, the brand also pushed out a fresh tvOS 27 build for your living room setup. There is also a companion update available for the HomePod. If you want to jump in and try these features yourself, you just need to sign up at the official beta website to register your Apple account.
Keep in mind that early software always carries the risk of bugs and performance drops. It is usually a good idea to avoid putting beta software on your main daily devices if you rely on them for important tasks.
Getting to use new smartwatch and television tools early is always a fun process for tech fans. The company will likely spend the next few weeks smoothing out any performance hiccups before shipping the final versions to the public. If you decide to install the updates today, be prepared for a few glitches while you explore the newest additions.
