#APPLE WATCH VERSION 9.2 UPDATE#
Many Apple Watch folks don’t know you can actually update your watchOS from the watch itself using Wi-Fi!Īpple introduced this feature back with watchOS 6. Update on the watch itself using Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth The Series 6+ currently supports 5GHz (although not the SE.) Most watches support 2.4GHz networks only. Both the watch and the iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.Your Apple Watch has at least 50% charge available, AND you placed it on its charger (and the watch is charging.).To swiftly complete its update to the latest watchOS, verify the following: Are you following the basic requirements? Go through this checklist You can also turn it off in your iPhone’s Watch app under My Watch > Passcode > Turn Passcode Off.

Go to the Settings app on your watch, tap Passcode, and choose Turn Passcode Off. It’s easy to turn off your watch’s passcode too. So, I’ve learned to turn it off during the update process and then turn it back on once my watch has updated! When I use a passcode on my Apple Watch, it often causes problems when updating, mainly due to needing to enter it multiple times. Turn off your watch’s passcode temporarily In that case, wait a day or two before trying to update. If you see anything marked red or yellow, it indicates problems. To check, visit Apple’s System Status site.
