Apple Watch users have been grappling with battery drain issues since the rollout of the latest watchOS 10.1 update. Reports suggest that a forthcoming software update aims to tackle this problem, offering relief to affected users of various Apple Watch models, including the recently launched Apple Watch Ultra 2. The company has reportedly acknowledged the issue to its authorized service providers, indicating that a fix is imminent with a forthcoming watchOS 10 update.
Multiple users took to various platforms, including Reddit and Twitter, to highlight the rapid battery drain problem after updating to watchOS 10.1. The issue appears to impact owners of several currently supported models, including the second-generation Apple Watch Ultra, introduced during Apple’s September event.
While Apple assured its service providers that a remedy is on the way, the timeline for the update remains unspecified. The company could potentially issue a minor watchOS 10.1.1 update for a swift resolution, or users might have to wait a bit longer for the bug fix to arrive with the anticipated watchOS 10.2 update, currently undergoing beta testing.
Notably, the watchOS 10.1 update introduced a novel Double Tap feature, enabling users to execute various tasks on the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 with a simple finger gesture. However, this addition isn’t accessible on older models, such as the Apple Watch Series 8 and the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra.
