Apple Watch gets ‘Theater Mode in watchOS 3 2 beta

Apple is now rolling out the first build of watchOS 3.2 beta to developers and many are excited about a new feature that Apple Watch users have surely been waiting for.

Aside from SiriKit (which aims to fix a disconnect between the iPhone and Watch-versions of Siri), Theater Mode lets you keep the Apple watch powered on anywhere you wouldn’t like your notifications to flash on your wrist, likewise, this also disables the ‘lift-to-wake’ gesture.

Introduced in watchOS 3.1.3, Theater Mode lets users quickly mute the sound on their Apple Watch and avoid waking the screen on wrist raise. Users still receive notifications (including haptics) while in Theater Mode, which they can view by tapping the screen or pressing the Digital Crown.

You’ll still be able to receive notifications via haptic feedback, and turning the crown will slowly raise the brightness from its lowest setting to view the notification. Also, there is currently no integration of this feature on iOS, even with the latest iOS beta 10.3, 9to5Mac reports.

Unfortunately for most users, there is no public beta for watchOS, so you’ll have to either pony up for a developer account or wait for the public release.
