Khaberni - Apple revealed the candidate release of the "watchOS 26.2" update, which is the next upgrade for the operating system of Apple Watch smartwatches, and includes an enhanced "Safety Alerts" feature.
In the United States, the Apple Watch will send alerts for imminent threats such as floods, natural disasters, and other emergencies.
In addition to the alerts, the "watchOS 26.2" update is expected to be able to display detailed information, such as maps of affected areas and links to safety guidelines, according to a report by the technology news website "9to5Mac", which was reviewed by "Al Arabiya Business".
Getting emergency alerts on the wrist can help users take necessary actions and save their lives in time, even when the iPhone is in a bag, pocket, or other hard-to-reach places directly.
For users who keep their phones on silent mode, having a secondary channel, which is the Apple Watch, increases the chances of noticing disaster warnings.
The more detailed format, including a map of the affected area and links to guidelines, provides a greater context than traditional text alerts, helping users assess the impact size.
