So far I’m not seeing the update.
Not seeing it either
I know it’s only a .1 update but it’s a bit underwhelming. any rumours on watchOS3 yet ?
Bug fixes may be “underwhelming” to you but I sure do like them. They are more important to me than new features.
Make sure you have updated your phone to 9.2 and it should be available.
Am I the only one who cannot take any screenshot after the update ?
It was still available for me with iOS 9.1 though so the 9.2 (which I am getting now) is a false necessity to update.
I updated two days ago and now my watch won’t charge. Apple wants me to have charger checked at a local store and if the charger works, they will repair or replace. No way the charger went bad – it hasn’t been moved from it’s original spot except to test the outlet.
Sorry to hear that. Hope they get it fixed without too much hassle. Ask for a free spare charger for the trouble.
