Unable to find the Braille option in WatchOS 7. Is it just my watch that has a problem?

Braille on Apple Products

Hello,
I installed the golden master of WatchOS 7 through the public beta program few minutes before it was released. I was super excited to try the rotor as well as braille support. However, the option is not available. I should say that my watch is set in Canadian French. I tried to switch it in English Canada to see if that would fixe the issue. Still the same issue. I have a watch series 5 lte 40 mm. The version number is 7.0. The build number is 18r382. Am I the only one to experience this issue?

Braille on AppleWatch

Hello, I have an AppleWatch series 3 and I'm running Watch OS 7 and I can't find the braille option either. I know that the series 3 was supposed to be getting braille support, as David Woodbridge from Vision Australia did a really good demo of it on his podcast. I don't think it is just certain languages as my watch is using UK english as I am in the UK and I have tried US english as well, but it didn't make a difference. I wonder if it wasn't ready, so Apple decided to leave it out until it is.

Hello, I have a series 5 as…

Hello,

I have a series 5 as well.
Braille is indeed an option, & you can find it by navigating to settings/accessibility/voiceover/Braille
Note: a / denotes another menu.
I hope that helps.

The option is not their

I Do not see it. I even thought that IT was because my Braille display was not paired to my phone. I paired IT but that did not solve the issue. I wonder if I am on the public version. The bill number is 18r382.

Nope

I didn't find the option either. Logically, it should be located under Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver like on the phone. Another question is however what Bluetooth protocole is supported and if your refreshable Braille device supports more than one Bluetooth connection at once. I guess we'll have to wait until WatchOS 7.1!

apparently Apple have removed braille from Watch Os 7

I was talking about something else on twitter and the subject of braille on the watch came up. I was told by someone that the braille option had been removed.

Braile on Watch OS 7

The braille menu has been removed from the public release. It is still in the beta builds, so I expect it will come out at some point to the public. Of course, I'm not Apple, so I have no idea when that will happen. I hope this helps, even though it's not the news you may have wanted.
