Apple Releases WatchOS 2.0.1 With Multiple Bug Fixes

October 21, 2015

Today Apple released a new update for the Apple Watch dubbed watchOS 2.0.1. The update comes nearly one month after Apple’s first release of watchOS 2, which features updates including native apps, Nightstand Mode, third-party complications and more.

You can grab the 2.0.1 update through the dedicated Apple Watch app on your iPhone by going to General > Software Update. To install the update, the Apple Watch must have 50 percent or more battery and it must be placed on the charger as well as within range of your iPhone.

Here are a list of the updates:

  • Fixes an issue that could cause software updates to stall
  • Fixes issues that were impacting battery performance
  • Resolves an issue that prevented a managed iPhone from syncing iOS Calendar events to Apple Watch
  • Addresses an issue that could prevent location information from properly updating
  • Fixes an issue that could cause Digital Touch to send from an email address instead of a phone number
  • Addresses an issue that could cause instability when using a Live Photo as a watch face
  • Resolves an issue that allows the sensors to stay on indefinitely when using Siri to measure heart rate

WatchOS 2.0.1 also includes a bunch of bug fixes as well as support for new emoji’s which have also been made available today via iOS 9.1 and 10.11.1 El Capitan.
