The watchOS 8 public beta is now open. If you want to risk trying it out, here’s how you can get it on your Apple Watch

For the second time, Apple is offering those with an Apple Watch a chance to test out watchOS 8 and its subsequent updates before the official release this fall. Anyone can enroll in the public beta, but it comes with risks — like not being able to downgrade back to watchOS 7. However, it’s also a great chance for you to give Apple feedback on upcoming changes and new features. Remember, if you want to use watchOS 8, you’ll also need the iOS 15 public beta on your iPhone.

Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas. While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac, and are not intended for everyday use on a primary device. That’s why we strongly recommend staying away from develo…
