14 DAY TRIAL // Apple released today the watchOS 4.3.1 software update for all Apple Watch devices with an extra layer of security and bug fixes, as well as various performance improvements.
After releasing the iOS 11.4 for supported iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices, tvOS 11.4 for 4th generation Apple TV and Apple TV 4K devices, as well as the Xcode 9.4 IDE, Apple also released the watchOS 4.3.1 software update with a handful of bug fixes to improve your overall watchOS experience on your Apple Watch.
The most prominent change brought by the watchOS 4.3.1 software update appears to be a fix for an issue that could have caused the Apple Watch to remain stuck at the Apple logo when starting up the device. The problem was reported by some users and it would appear only sometimes during the watchOS startup.
watchOS 4.3.1 also brings a warning that notifies users when launching apps designed for watchOS 1 that they may not be compatible with future versions of watchOS as Apple plans to deprecate older apps from its watchOS ecosystem. Various security updates are also present in this release.
