watchOS 12 Set to Revolutionize the Apple Watch with ‘Apple Intelligence’ Features

watchOS 12 to Feature Apple Intelligence with a Twist

According to recent reports, Apple is set to introduce 'Apple Intelligence' in watchOS 12, which will be unveiled at WWDC 2025. This new suite of features will leverage AI capabilities, though the processing will primarily be handled by paired iPhones rather than directly on the Apple Watch itself. The approach mirrors earlier versions of watchOS where functionality heavily relied on the iPhone.

While specific features are not detailed, it's noted that some of the iPhone’s current Apple Intelligence features, such as notification summaries and the Reduce Interruptions Focus, already work similarly on the Apple Watch in watchOS 11. The addition of Apple Intelligence to watchOS 12 will make these capabilities officially supported.

Additionally, watchOS 12 is expected to incorporate some of iOS 19's new interface elements, but a major overhaul of the watch's UI is not anticipated.

The article concludes by asking readers which AI features they would like to see in watchOS 12.
