Apple Watch OS 1.0.1 improves system performance, adds support for new Emojis, among other innovations. If yesterday we were talking about that Apple could be able to release the first software update for Apple Watch, the company has finished doing a few hours ago with Watch OS 1.0.1, a minor update that is now available for download. The update weighs 51.6 MB and can be downloaded through the application of Apple Watch. Meanwhile, we have the news that we will find.
First, Apple reported that this update “improves performance and fixes some bugs in the system” so that we may see reduced load time applications, as well as some other small bug in software that users have been reported in recent weeks.
Another novelty is that now Apple Watch is compatible with more than 300 new emojis that were released with iOS 8.3 and OS X 10.10.3, so from now on we can view them without problems every time we receive a new message on the watch. In the update information is also detailed that improvements in the following areas are included, although they have not been specified:
- Siri
- Tracking the activity up
- Calculating calories training exercise bike and rowing
- Distance calculation and steps for foreign trips and running
- Accessibility
- Third-party apps
Finally, Apple has also added support for the following languages: Portuguese (Brazil), Danish, Dutch, Swedish, Russian, Thai and Turkish. Remember that to update our Apple Watch we must have more than 50% of the remaining battery or, alternatively, have it connected to the mains.
The update also improves the tracking of activity in different areas of training
At the moment it is too early to assess whether the performance improvements introduced in this update are remarkable first use the system, although we are very aware of the impressions of users who have been able to upgrade your Apple Watch. Some are also reporting that the update still do not appear, so it will be a matter of time and, as always, patience.
Apple already confirmed last month that the problems of system performance and third-party apps would be resolved through future software upgrades, now we have the first, see if actually improves performance.
