Apple starts beta testing Apple Watch Audio Intelligence with Live Rewind and Siri Recaps
Overview
Apple has begun beta testing Audio Intelligence for Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, starting with developers in iOS 27.3.
Live Rewind shows the last 15 seconds of speech as text, and Siri Recaps condenses conversations into short sentences and bullet points, without speaker identification or word-for-word transcripts. Apple says audio is processed on the watch and iPhone, and recap text is sent to Private Cloud Compute and deleted immediately afterward.
Apple says the features will reach the public beta later for broader testing before general release. Users can turn on Siri Recaps manually or set a schedule, such as recaps only during work hours or never at night.
