WatchOS 9: Steps to install latest update to your Apple Watch for exploring brand-new features

The Apple Watch is by far the greatest fitness tracker if you own an iPhone. Perhaps the battery life is the only drawback, given Apple’s health software has sometimes lagged behind the latest developments.

Apple has really stepped up its game with the Watch Series 8 & the Apple Watch Ultra. Here’s how.

But with a plethora of new fitness features coming in the WatchOS 9, that might bring the best-ever experience along with improved battery life. If features like monitoring stride length and vertical oscillation function as anticipated, the Apple Watch may become the finest running watch and overall best watch for athletes. Along with a slew of other brand-new features, the new Series 8 now has crash detection and a body temperature sensor to monitor fertility in people who desire to get pregnant.

The Apple Watch models that are compatible to download WatchOS 9 include Apple Watch Series 4, Apple Watch Series 5, Apple Watch SE (2020), Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch Series 7, Apple Watch SE (2022), Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra. Additionally, you’ll require an iPhone that can run iOS 16 which includes the iPhone 8 (2017) and beyond.

Both the Apple Watch and the iPhone can be used to install WatchOS 9. Whichever method you decide to follow, make sure your iPhone is running iOS 16 and is connected to Wi-Fi, and that your Apple Watch battery is at least halfway (50 percent) charged. To maintain stable connectivity, you should keep your watch and iPhone close to one another.

Make sure you won’t need to access your smartwatch during the updating hour. Otherwise, the installation process can be interrupted. You can also opt for an overnight update if you are a frequent user.

Steps to download and install WatchOS 9:

By using an iPhone:

  • Visit the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  • Go to the ‘My Watch’ menu to update your watch.
  • Next, tap ‘Software Update and Download’ under the ‘General’ section.
  • Your Apple Watch will then display a progress gauge indicating that the update has started.

By using an Apple Watch:

  • Make sure the Apple Watch is connected to Wi-Fi.
  • Open the ‘Settings’ menu.
  • Go to ‘General’ and then, ‘Software Update’ under it.
  • Press ‘Install’ to start the download.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
