  • Apple Watch users have been complaining about excessive battery drain following the watchOS 11 update.
  • Apple has now released watchOS 11.0.1 to address the widespread bug.
  • The update also fixes an issue that caused certain Apple Watches to reboot randomly.

A few weeks ago, Apple seeded watchOS 11.0, packing new watch faces, a native Translate app, sleep apnea detection, and much more. Notably, though, watchOS 11 also introduced a bug that causes excessive battery drain. Due to increasing user reports, Apple has now issued watchOS 11.0.1, which should address this irritating bug.

watchOS 11.0.1 is now available to download and install on compatible Apple Watch models. While the update offers no exciting new features or changes, it patches multiple bugs that have impacted a wide range of users.
