watchOS 27.3: Three new features soon available on Apple Watch

watchOS 27.3 will launch to all users next month and will introduce these three new Apple Watch features.

#1: Siri AI gets new in-app actions and languages

Siri AI continues to get new features and is also expanding to more languages. And in watchOS 27.3, Assistant will improve in both categories.

watchOS 27.3 upgrades Siri AI with new app actions in built-in apps like Calendar, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, Notes, Photos, and Weather. With these features, Siri on your wrist can do more than ever.

There are also four new Siri AI languages ​​supported in watchOS 27.3: Chinese (traditional), Norwegian, Turkish, and Vietnamese.

#2: Live Rewind

For the latest Apple Watch models, watchOS 27.3 adds a new Audio Intelligence feature called Live Rewind. From the Apple website:

Live Rewind recalls what was just said in the last 15 seconds by showing a snippet of text on your Apple Watch when you double-tap the Digital Crown, so you can capture something you missed or are less familiar with. You can ask Siri for the snippet content or simply save it to the Siri app.

I’m curious to see how useful this turns out to be in everyday life. When Apple introduced the feature in September, it showed Live Rewind being used in a restaurant when an Apple Watch user missed part of the server’s menu explanation. Asking the server to repeat what it said seems like a simpler solution, but there may be other occasions where Live Rewind will come in handy.

#3: Siri Summary

It won’t be for everyone, but I tested the new Siri Recap feature in watchOS 27.3 and I really like it.

Siri Recap only works on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, and it is disabled by default. But if you own one of these models and enable the feature, Siri can create automatic logs of what’s happening in your daily life.

Most of the time, you won’t need to reference any of the summaries and they will be automatically deleted after a week. But in my experience with this feature, Siri Recap definitely comes in handy when you’re trying to remember key details from conversations.
