Apple Watch Users Warned Against Installing This Update: Here’s The Reason

Recent reports have highlighted issues with various Apple devices following new updates. For Apple Watch users, a warning has circulated regarding the installation of the watchOS 11.1 beta 3 update, which has led to devices freezing and requiring a force restart. This builds on similar recent challenges Apple faced, such as the freezing of the iPad Pro M4 due to an update, making the device unusable. However, the iPad complications mostly occurred following rollout of iPadOS 18. Both cases involved the devices experiencing bricking issues subjecting users to revert to official Apple support for fixes. Importantly, watchOS 11.1 is still in beta, where glitches are often anticipated and potential users generally receive prior warnings. Apple has yet to officially comment, but an expected follow-up update should address these significant problems soon.

Concurrently, millions of iPhone users have been advised to download an "important" iOS 18.0.1 update released to fix assorted bugs and patch security vulnerabilities. Among these bugs are a problem with audio messages recording before the microphone triggers and standby ability for passwords to be vocalized with the VoiceOver feature. Other issues fixed by the update pertain to touchscreen responsiveness on iPhone 16 models, glitches affecting camera recording on an iPhone 16 Pro, uncontrollable exits in the Messages app during specific activities, and potential performance issues due to memory allocation. To avoid these troubles, users should navigate to the device's software settings to ensure the latest updates are applied, mindful of either immediate or scheduled download requirements contingent on data access and device location.
