Apple has released an update to bring watchOS to version 7.3.1, which updates the Apple Watch software two weeks after the latest version.
Apple released a new update for watchOS 7.3.1 to the public on Monday. The update appears to be limited to the Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch SE, which fixes a charging issue that may appear on those models.
Users can update watchOS to the latest version by opening the Apple Watch app on their iPhone, tapping My Watch, then General, then Software Update, and then Install. Once downloaded, the Apple Watch must be placed on a charger to install the update.
Alternatively, the update can be performed directly on the Apple Watch by tapping the Settings app, tapping General, then Software Update, and then Install. Users with automatic updates will receive the update as soon as it is downloaded and installed during the next available download period.
Apple’s previous update, watchOS 7.3, was released on January 26th. Its updates include the Unity watch, Time to Walk for Apple Fitness + subscribers, an update of the ECG app and irregular heartbeat notifications in certain countries, and a solution to a Control Center issue.
Update February 15, 13:31 ET: This version was initially marked as a beta version. AppleInsider regrets the mistake.
