Apple has just released the watchOS 10.6.1 update for Apple Watch. It is a minor incremental update that addresses an issue that could prevent access to Apple Fitness+. The newer upgrade comes out three weeks after the release of watchOS 10.6 public update.
Apple is pushing the new update to the eligible watch models with the 21U580 version number. As a small incremental upgrade, it has a download size of approximately 165MB.
If your Apple Watch is running on watchOS 10 or 10.x, you can upgrade your watch to the incremental update. As it is a public release, it’s live for all users, you can simply head over to the Software Updates in the Watch app to check new updates.
As we’re close to the public release of watchOS 11, we can’t expect new features coming to the watchOS 10. The release notes for the incremental update state, “This update fixes an issue that may prevent access to Apple Fitness+.”
