Apple has released an update bringing watchOS to version 7.3.1, updating the Apple Watch software two weeks after the last release.
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 and addresses a charging issue that can manifest on those models.
Users can update watchOS to the latest build by opening the Apple Watch app on their iPhone, tapping My Watch, then General, then Software Update, then Install. Once downloaded, the Apple Watch must be placed on a charger for the update to be installed.
Alternatively, the update can be performed directly on the Apple Watch by opening the Settings app, tapping General, Software Update, then Install. Users with automatic updates will receive the update as soon as it is downloaded and installed during the next available charging period.
Apple’s previous update, watchOS 7.3, was released on January 26. The updates include the Unity watch face, Time to Walk for Apple Fitness + subscribers, an update to the EKG app and irregular heart rhythm notifications in select countries, and a fix for a Control Center issue.
Update Feb. 15, 1:31 PM ET: This release was initially marked as a beta version. AppleInsider regrets the mistake.
