Apple Inc seems to be all ready now in launching the public version of watchOS 3.2 as it just officially rolled out the fifth beta version of its Apple Watch's OS platform for its developers. And with the features that were included, its general consumers are all going gaga now before its public launch.

9To5Mac reports that Apple is shipping off the fifth beta version of watchOS 3.2 to developers for testing on their Apple Watch devices. The fifth beta has been released just over a week after its fourth beta version was launched. The developers can now download the update by heading to the dedicated Apple Watch app on their iPhones. Users can go to "General" then "Software Update" as soon as they are able to download and install the proper configuration on their smartphones.

In addition, users have to ensure that their Apple Watch are juiced with a battery of more than 50 percent and should also be placed on a charger in order to install the latest watchOS 3.2 fifth beta version. On the other hand, their wearables should also be in range with their iPhones.

Among the features that are under the fifth beta version of watchOS 3.2 are the Theater Mode and the introduction of SiriKit. The former can disable raise-to-wake and mute alerts. According to Apple, users will still be able to receive notifications that also include haptics during this mode. They can view the notifications by simply tapping the screen or pressing the device's Digital Crown.

In related news, Apple has also rolled out the fifth beta version of iOS 10.3 with the build number 14E5269a. The update includes a new Find My AirPods feature, the migration to APFS along with a new reviews API. The latter now limits how often an app can ask users to submit their rating on the App store. Other features that are included are the floating one-handed keyboard for iPad users and iCloud-connected device calling for Verizon customers, as per Apple Insider.
