CTOnews.com Sept. 28, Apple today launched a developer preview version of watchOS 10.1 Beta update (internal version: 21S5042f) to Apple Watch users, 29 days after its last release.

After this update, Apple Watch users can use the new NameDrop feature to share contact information with other Apple Watch users or iPhone.

To use this feature, you can do this by clicking the "contacts" application, selecting your profile, and then clicking the "share" option. The animation guides the user to place the Apple Watch next to or near the top of another Apple Watch to initiate the transfer of contact information.

NameDrop was introduced in iOS 17, but does not support the official version of watchOS 10. NameDrop is part of AirDrop, and when users use this feature, they can transmit the contact's picture, name, and phone number together.

NameDrop requires two iPhone running iOS 17, two Apple Watch running watchOS 10.1, or one iPhone running iOS 17 and one Apple Watch running watchOS 10.1.

There are also indications in the watchOS 10.1 code that Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 have a new Double Tap feature, but this feature has not been enabled and Double Tap is still inaccessible.
