Just trying to gain some information here on the new beta.

When updating to IOS 16 Beta do you have to update the watch to the new beta too? Or Can it stay on Watch OS 8.6.

Have been lead to believe the battery drains on the watch with compassion IPhone on IOS 16 and the watch app doesn’t let you control the watch anymore it just shows the discover page?

Is anyone able to confirm their experience with this? Thanks

There would be a risk to break pairing and having issues to recreate.

Rule of thumb is that if the use of your device is critical, do not install beta on it. Find a scapegoat device on which to install.
