Apple is set to host its annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2022 virtually from June 6 through June 10 this year. The company is expected to announce iOS 16, watchOS 9, iPadOS 16, and the next version of macOS and tvOS at the event. Since Apple will be live streaming the opening keynote of WWDC 2022, you can watch it live from the comfort of your home. Here’s how you can watch WWDC 2022 live.

iOS 15 was an incremental update and only introduced some usability improvements. iOS 16 is expected to be full of new features and enhancements. This year’s focus will likely be on additional functionality on the iPhone and multitasking capability improvements in iPadOS 16. Rumors suggest iOS 16 will bring lock screen improvements and updates to the Health app, among other things. You can check out our iOS 16 wishlist here.

Since the event is being held virtually, Apple will be streaming it in real time across all major streaming platforms to ensure everyone can view it easily. This also includes YouTube, which is perhaps the best platform for one to catch the live stream as it will work across all operating systems and devices. Gone are the days when Apple forced one to use one of its own devices just to view the WWDC live stream.

When Does the WWDC 2022 Keynote Start?

The opening keynote of WWDC 2022 will take place on June 6 at 10:00 a.m. PDT, and it will be streamed directly from Apple Park. You can find the start time of the WWDC 2022 keynote in your time zone here.
