If you have an Apple Watch, it’s not always obvious if you’re running the latest version of the Apple watchOS operating system. Here’s how to check for updates and how to perform them. Let’s have a look!
Apple Watch update related to iPhone update
Before updating your Apple Watch, you need to update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS. That’s because watchOS updates are currently tied to iOS updates, and you can’t get them separately. If your iPhone isn’t running the latest iOS version, you won’t see the latest watchOS update on your Apple Watch or the Watch app on your iPhone.
Usually, you will see the update automatically
As long as your iPhone is fully updated and your Apple Watch is connected to the Internet, your Apple Watch will usually alert you when a new update is available.
If you tap this screen and select the “Update Tonight” option while your watch is on your wrist, your Apple Watch will tell you that it will try to automatically install the update later tonight. For your watch to update overnight, it must be on a charger and connected to Wi-Fi. The installation will begin when your Apple Watch’s battery is at 50% or higher.
If you want to update now, open the settings on your watch and tap “Software Update.” Next, tap Download and Install or Install and place your Apple Watch on the charger. The installation will start automatically when the update is fully downloaded and the watch’s battery is at 50% or higher.
How to check for watchOS updates on Apple Watch
To manually check for watchOS updates on your Apple Watch, activate your Watch and open the Settings app, which looks like a gray gear. When the settings open, tap “General” and then select “Software Update.” If your Apple Watch is completely up to date, you’ll see the “Apple Watch is up to date” message on the screen. Otherwise, if a watchOS update is available, you’ll see the update’s version number listed, along with a brief description of the new features or bug fixes in that release.
To install the update, scroll down and tap “Download and Install” or “Install”, then place the watch on the charger. After downloading the update, Apple Watch will wait until its battery is at 50% or higher to install the update. Once that mark is reached, the installation will begin.
How to Check for Apple Watch Updates on iPhone
If you want to use your iPhone to check for Apple Watch system updates, first find and launch the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Once loaded, tap on the watch you want to check for updates. Then, scroll down and tap “General,” then select “Software Update.”
The Watch app will check for updates, and if it’s completely up to date, you’ll see the “Your Apple Watch is up to date” message. In this case, you are done and you can exit the Watch app.
However, if a watchOS update is available, you’ll see it listed, along with information about the features of the latest version.
If you want to install the update right away, put your Apple Watch on a charger near your iPhone. Click Download and Install or Install. Enter your password if necessary. The installation will begin when the battery in your Apple Watch is at 50% or higher.
