watchOS 8.4.2 Update Details

Two weeks after the release of watchOS 8.4, Apple has now rolled out the watchOS 8.4.2 update to the watchOS 8. watchOS 8.4 was introduced to resolve a charging issue with the Apple watches. According to the iPhone maker’s release notes for the update, the watchOS 8.4.2 offers certain bug fixes and various security updates for the wearables. The release notes, however, fail to tell us which bugs the latest update fixes. If you had been facing some issues with the previous update, we hope that they will be fixed with watchOS 8.4.2. This, sadly, is a rather vague state of affairs, as we are unsure of the bugs Apple has fixed with the latest build. In any case, it’s a welcome move and perhaps some bugs must have been fixed with it.
