Time to update as soon as possible. The update of watchOS 10.4 and macOS 14.4 are now available and solve many irritations!
watchOS 10.4 and macOS 14.4 are out
In addition to the update for your iPhone, you also need to update your Apple Watch and your Mac. Unfortunately, there are not many new features. For example, the Apple Watch and Mac now have access to new emojis, but the other content of these updates is a lot more important.
Both the watchOS 10.4 and the macOS 14.4 update resolve quite a few annoying problems. For example, watchOS 10.4 fixes a rather strange issue with ‘ghost touches’.
These ‘Ghost Touches’ allowed the screen of some Apple Watch Series 9 or Ultra 2 to jump automatically. Other unexpected behavior was also possible without even touching the Apple Watch. As a result, it could in principle happen that an Apple Watch unintentionally started a phone call, or that you could not enter text.
In macOS 14.4, a bug prevented photos in the Hidden Photo Album from being viewed without issue. But in addition, this update mainly resolves many security problems in the background. In the release notes of macOS 14.4 you will find the entire list of all issues that have been fixed.
Update Apple Watch and Mac
To update your Apple Watch to watchOS 10.4, go to your ‘Settings’ on your Apple Watch. Then tap ‘General > Software Update’. Then follow the instructions on the screen.
