Apple's Siri Recaps on Apple Watch summarise the conversations around you, and a reviewer finds them useful and unsettling

TechCrunch reports that Apple put four audio features into testing on Tuesday in the first developer betas of iOS 27.3 and watchOS 27.3 for Apple Watch Series 12: sound detection, song identification, Live Rewind and Siri Recaps. Live Rewind shows what was said in the last 15 seconds and Siri Recaps summarise audio across the day into notes. Reviewer Sarah Perez says Siri Recaps captured a repair deductible, a repair time frame and the fuel level of a rental car, but mixed them with unrelated family errands in one note.

• If you try the beta, tell the people around you that the watch is summarising speech, and switch the feature off in meetings or private conversations.
• Check that you are happy with where recap notes are stored before you rely on them for anything with prices, names or numbers.
