Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will soon add two new features

Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 they’re here, and they’ll be even more powerful later this year with two new features: Siri Recap and Live Rewind. Here are the details.

#1: Siri recap

Siri AI is a major focus of watchOS 27, and later this year a powerful addition to Siri is coming to the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. It’s called Siri Recap.

Here’s what it does, for Apple:

Siri Recap takes notes on your conversations throughout the day and creates high-level summaries generated by Apple Intelligence that you can use later to jog your memory so you can stay in the present. If you choose not to save your summaries, they will be automatically deleted after 7 days.

Siri Recap seems like a feature that no one necessarily asked for, but it could add valuable utility if privacy is done right. You can read the finer details of privacy in Apple’s white paper here.

#2: Live Rewind

Live Rewind is another “Audio Intelligence” feature coming to new Apple Watch models later this year. It provides a more direct way to revisit something that was just said.

Here’s how it works for Apple:

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

Like Siri Recap, Apple has detailed Live Rewind privacy details listed here. For me personally, the usefulness of Live Rewind seems less obvious than the need for accessibility. But I’m interested in how it works in finished form.

Apple is expected to introduce both new Apple Watch features in watchOS 27.3, which should launch in beta very soon.
