How To Update Watch OS On Apple Watch

Apple has constantly provided updates for its mobile software version, the iOS, ever since the launch of the operating system. These refreshed versions have the role to improve stability, enhance performance, eliminate bugs and last but not least, add new features to the iPhone, iPad or iPod. There is no reason to consider that things will be different, with the Apple Watch operating software, called watch OS.

The wrist gadget has impressed ever since its launch and has lived up to and beyond our expectations! However, it’s impossible to have a perfect operating system from the first release. A few apps are jamming from time to time and the Watch can be unblocked only with force restarts. Most of us are waiting for operating system tune ups, that will allow the smartwatch to load apps, from its paired iPhone, faster and why not add some new features!

How To Check For Watch OS Updates
iPhoneTricks.org will always keep you informed in case of an operating system update becomes available. The same as we covered all iOS upgrades, we also plan to review all watch OS new releases and share them with you. However, if you wish to check it yourself here is how to do it. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Browse to My Watch -> General -> Software Update. If your Apple Watch and iOS device are “Connected”, your smartphone automatically starts searching for updates. In case a new release is found, you’re prompted to begin installation, else you get a confirmation message that the software is up to date.

Apple Watch OS Details
