Apple Releases watchOS 11.0.1 – Brings Fixes for Battery Drain and Touchscreen Issues

Apple today released watchOS 11.0.1, a minor update for the watchOS 11 operating system that was released in September. The watchOS 11.0.1 update comes just three short weeks after the initial release of watchOS 11.

watchOS 11.0.1 can be downloaded for free through the dedicated Apple Watch app on the iPhone by going to “General” -> “Software Update.” The Apple Watch needs to have at least a 50% battery charge, needs to be on a charger, and needs to be in the range of the ‌‌iPhone‌‌.

The update brings the following bug fixes to your Apple Watch:

• Apple Watch may unexpectedly restart for some users
• Music app may unexpectedly quit when loading media
• Battery may drain more quickly than expected
• Touch screen may be temporarily unresponsive for some Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 users
• Messages may unexpectedly quit when replying to a message with a shared Apple Watch face
