Along with the release of iOS 10.1 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch today, Apple released the newest version of watchOS for Apple Watch. The WatchOS 3.1 update brings small changes to the device, mostly focusing on fixing bugs.
Of note are updates to Messages and a fix for a potential battery issue. With the update, you’ll be able to replay full-screen effects in Messages and play effects when Reduce Motion is enabled. The update should also fix any problems Apple Watch Series 2 models may have had that prevented some from charging fully. The update goes on to provide fixes to the Timer, Activity interface, and Force Touch functions in third-party apps.
The update won’t drastically change how you interact with your Apple Watch, unlike when watchOS 3 became available in September. That update brought a slew of changes to the Apple Watch’s interface, including the new app Dock, the SOS feature for alerting authorities to emergency situations, and the Breathe app that guides the wearer through deep breathing exercises.
