Apple releases new update to fix Apple Watch unlock bug

San Francisco: After the release of the iPhone 13 and iOS 15, Apple is rolling out a bug fix update with 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 Fixed in Latest Version of iOS 15.0.1 — Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch may not work on iPhone 13 models, Settings app may erroneously display a storage full warning, audio meditations may unexpectedly start a workout on Apple Watch 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 to fix it 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.
