In 2015, Apple Inc. was the first company to release a smartwatch to the market.

Everyone benefits from the Apple Watch, from business owners to fitness aficionados.

However, getting an Apple Watch fixed in the event of a software issue has proven to be challenging. Users were obliged to take it to a designated servicing center. With the most recent iOS and WatchOS upgrades, this appears to have been changed. With the release of iOS 15.4 and watchOS 8.5, Apple has introduced a new gadget that allows customers to upgrade their Apple Watch software using an iPhone.

Based on the reports, the program assists customers in repairing their Apple Watch if they are experiencing any software-related difficulties, such as the Watch being stuck during the update process, suddenly not operating, or crashing for no apparent reason. This information has also been updated on Apple's Watch support website. It instructs people on what to do if they encounter a similar software problem.

Earlier on the same page, consumers were advised to visit the company's authorized service center. In addition, if your Apple Watch stops operating during the upgrade process, a warning will show on customers' iPhones requesting that they restore their Apple Watch. Apple recommends doing the following steps:

1) Make sure you have an iPhone handy. The iPhone must have iOS 15.4 or later installed, be connected to Wi-Fi with Bluetooth switched on, and be unlocked.

2) Place your Apple Watch on its charger.

3) Double-click the side button on your Apple Watch (the one below the circular Digital Crown).

4) Now, follow the instructions on your iPhone.

If these measures don't work, Apple advises consumers to check their Wi-Fi. "Try utilizing a 2.4GHz network instead of a 5GHz network, and make sure you're not on a captive or 802.1X network," the company recommends on its help website.
