Software update is coming to fix annoying bug on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2

According to a tweet from @StellaFudge (via MacRumors), who apparently works at an Apple Authorized Service Provider, Apple sent an internal memo to these authorized repair shops letting them know that the company is aware of an issue with Apple Watch models released last year .

The memo, obtained by MacRumors, states that “Some customers may report that their Apple Watch Series 9 or Apple Watch Ultra 2 is experiencing false touches on their screen.” Apple adds that some customers might say their Apple Watch model is experiencing “ghost touches.” Owners of affected Apple Watch models say the screen will “jump erratically” or take other actions even if the user has not interacted with the device. The issue could prevent users from entering their password or receive an accidental phone call.

The tweet from @StellaFudge notes that Apple has asked technicians working at authorized service centers and, we assume, Apple Stores as well, not to replace any products. Apple Watch Series 9 or Apple Ultra 2 units exhibiting this issue. Instead, Apple is asking technicians to inform customers that Apple will soon release a software update that fixes the problem.

With that in mind, Apple is asking Apple Watch owners to make sure they keep their devices updated and running the latest version of watchOS, especially since the touch issue is expected to be resolved via an update. software update. Apple hasn't given a time frame as to when we can expect the update to arrive. However, the company recommends that those who experience this problem on their Apple Watch Series 9 Or Apple Watch Ultra2 force restart their watches to see if that helps resolve the issue before sending an update.
