Apple watchOS 10.2 Update May Release In December: What To Expect

Apple is reportedly planning to release the latest watchOS 10.2 update, currently in beta testing, in December. This forthcoming update for Apple watches will introduce new features, address bugs, and include a few enhancements.

According to reports, the upcoming OS update will bring new features like personalised journaling suggestions and improved weather information. It will improve the overall battery performance of the Apple watches.

Additionally, the enhanced Siri integration, will also allow Apple Watch users to send messages or make calls directly from their watches with just a simple voice command. The Cupertino-based tech giant is also preparing a fix for an issue causing some Apple Watches to experience excessive battery drain after being updated to watchOS 10.1.

In the official internal memo, which MacRumors obtained from multiple sources, Apple said the issue will be fixed in a watchOS update that is “coming soon." Apple did not provide any additional details in the memo, so it is unclear what the underlying cause of the issue is, how many customers are affected, and if every Apple Watch model is impacted, the report said.
