• Interactive iPhone notifications. Rich, actionable notifications with inline controls, sharing the same UI as the watch.
• Notification delivery mode. Choose Fast (low-latency, iPhone-mirrored) or Reliable per user.
• Tappable camera notification snapshots. On Apple Watch, tap the snapshot to open the live stream; on iPhone, tap to refresh the snapshot.
• Per-camera snapshot framing. Frame each camera's notification snapshot independently, in a redesigned editor.
• Notifications hub. A dedicated Settings section with a built-in snapshot delivery test.
• Background color on Conditional Icon complications.

Connection and reliability overhaul

New

• Secure connection. A new signed-request system protects communication from the watch, widgets, and Focus Filters.
