Is this Beta test over? Longest beta to date? Can anyone UPDATE the Status quo?

[RobXbalboa]

Just wondering if this is still in beta testing? Its been MONTHS and from last years beta I knew better than to join this one.

Any word or news would be nice.

Thanks to all of you who went thru all the hard work it takes to test a beta for months on end. It can be very frustrating.

No, not really frustrating, enjoying the ride here. I don't understand why people are in a rush. It's not like they release updates frequently to stable releases with new security updates..

The Beta ended for the Watch 6 on October 24th, it is still ongoing for the Watch 5 and 4 but I don't think they'll get further updates. They're on standby since further rollout hasn't yet been commenced for the Watch 6.

how can I become a beta tester?

[Chef31684]

I agree with you 100%

[Chef31684]

Not frustrating at all. 

It's been quite enjoyable.

The current build for the watch 4 has been great. If they do another, great...if they move straight to release...that's great as well!

Chill out and relax

Hello @RobXbalboa, and all our dedicated Beta Members @Chef31684 , @MatthewReiter , @FriendlyAvatar90 .

First of all, thank you for your endeavor in Beta program throughout this prolongated Beta period.

Yes, this Beta program was scheduled for long time, as we've received numerous customers complaints regarding to Beta being short, and not enough time to explore all the features during One UI 6. We believe that we haven't provide enough time for every Beta users to enjoy the feature before it went public. 

As you might have all expected, Watch4/5 official release will be coming soon. Yet, we are still monitoring Watch6 customer response, in case there are any critical issues that we have missed. 

Although we cannot provide the exact date for Beta completion, we will soon release the official version for Watch4/5. 🙂 

Regards,

One UI Beta Team

Hopefully, it is still in the November range which was provided before, would it interfere with One UI 7 Beta?

[RobXbalboa]

Thanks so much for the responses. 

So as of Today 12/12/24

Watch 6 is out of Beta as of Oct 24th

watching watch 6 release for any anomalies before releasing the update for the watch 5 and 4 all series. (should be coming soon as long as watch 6 release is smooth)

Got it and again, Thank you for the hard work everyone.
