Apple Fixes Apple Watch Unlock Error With New Update: Download Now

Apple begins rolling out a fix for unlocking the Apple Watch bug. Shortly after the release of iOS 15, several iPhone 13 users complained that they were unable to unlock Apple Watch using the phone. Apple has fixed the issue with the latest update. The new iOS update is now rolling out with the fix and some notable improvements.

iOS 15.0.1 and iPadOS 15.0.1 are now rolling out with a fix for “Unlock with Apple Watch” and more, 9To5Mac reports.

Here’s what Apple says has been fixed in the latest release of iOS 15.0.1: Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch may not work on iPhone 13 models, Settings app may erroneously display a warning that the storage space is full, audio meditations may unexpectedly start a workout on Apple Watch out for some Fitness+ subscribers.

The most notable fix here is for the Unlock with Apple Watch bug, the report said.

As the website reported last week, Apple acknowledged this issue in a support document and promised a fix would be forthcoming soon.

Apple has identified an issue where Apple Watch unlocking may not work with iPhone 13 devices, the tech giant said.

You may see “Unable to communicate with Apple Watch” if you try to unlock your iPhone while wearing a face mask, or you may not be able to set up unlocking with Apple Watch, it added.

Other bugs have been reported in iOS 15, including touchscreen responsiveness issues and more, according to the report.

At this point, it’s unclear whether the current release of iOS 15.0.1 will fix this issue. It’s also unclear whether today’s update fixes a bug related to the iPhone 13 Pro’s ProMotion display and third-party apps, it added.

Users can update their iPhone or iPad to iOS 15.0.1 and iPadOS 15.0.1 by going to the Settings app, choosing General, and then choosing Software Update.
