Apple on Wednesday released watchOS 26.3, the latest update to the watchOS version that originally launched in September.
This release arrives two months after watchOS 26.2.
watchOS 26.3 is a free download and includes bug fixes and important security updates, with no new user-facing features identified during the beta period, according to Apple’s release notes.
To install watchOS 26.3, use one of these methods:
• On your paired iPhone running iOS 26.3, open the Apple Watch app, go to General > Software Update, and follow the prompts.
• Or, on the Apple Watch itself, open the Settings > General > Software Update.
MacDailyNews Note: For the installation to proceed, the Apple Watch must have at least 50% battery and be placed on its charger.
