The new watchOS 8.0. 1 update addresses issues some Apple Watch Series 3 owners have been experiencing with the new operating system.
WatchOS 8.0.1 update for Apple Watch Series 3!
Apple Watch Series 3 users have been experiencing some issues with watchOS 8 since its launch last month, which Apple hopes to fix with the latest watchOS 8.0. 1 update. While the watchOS 8.0. 1 update notes aren’t too specific, they do say that it addresses an issue with accessibility settings not displaying for some users. The update should also fix an issue with software update progress not displaying properly.
If you’re an Apple Watch Series 3 user and experiencing one or both of these issues, this update is for you. It’s unclear what exactly caused these issues in the first place, but Apple is working to address them.
The inability to use Assistive Touch on the Apple Watch Series 3 makes sense, since the feature isn't available on the older model. However, it doesn't appear that Apple intended to disable all accessibility settings.
