Apple releases iOS 15.0.1 update, addresses Apple Watch unlock bug, other issues

There’s nothing like a good round of bug fixes.

Apple on Friday released iOS 15.0.1, the update arriving two weeks after the launch of iOS 15.

The update hones in on an Apple Watch bug that has been affecting iPhone 13 users. Via the bug, users were unable to use the feature that’s designed to allow an iPhone to unlock with an authenticated Apple Watch when the user is wearing a mask.

The update also addresses a bug that could cause the Settings app to incorrectly display an alert that the device’s storage is full, as well as a bug that could cause audio meditations to unexpectedly start a workout on Apple Watch for some Fitness+ subscribers. 

Apple has stated that is it planning a fix for a Core Animation issue that could prevent some developers from taking full advantage of 120Hz ProMotion displays for their app animation. It’s thought that this could either be part of the iOS 15.0.1 update, or in the forthcoming iOS 15.1 update, which is in the beta stages of development.

The iOS 15.0.1 update can be downloaded for free and the software is available on all eligible devices over-the-air in the Settings app. To access the new software, go to Settings > General > Software Update.

If you’ve tried the update, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
