Your Apple Watch Won’t Update Automatically

Your Apple Watch will usually automatically update itself whenever a new update is available. However, that might not always be the case.

There will be times when your Apple Watch doesn’t want to update. That’s especially true if you wear it to bed at night.

There are many ways to fix this, but the quickest way is to try to update the Apple Watch manually. To do this, remember that your Apple Watch needs to be charged to at least the 50% mark. Moreover, it also needs to be placed in its charging dock.

After that, you can go to the Watch app on your iPhone. Then, go to General > Software Update and tap Install if an update is available. Your Apple Watch will begin downloading the software update and then installing it.

Ensure your internet connection is strong enough to let your Apple Watch download the software update.

There may also be the case that your Apple Watch downloaded the software update but didn’t install it. You’ll need to delete the software update file and start again. To do this, open the Watch app on your iPhone and then go to General > Storage and delete any software update you find.

Speaking of storage, another reason your Apple Watch can’t install the update is that it is almost full and doesn’t have room for a new update. If that happens, you can use the Storage section in the Watch app on your iPhone to remove any apps, files, or downloaded music to make room for the new update.
