Yesterday, Apple released macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, iPadOS 18.0.1, and watchOS 11.0.1. All these software updates bring some key bug fixes for Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch, respectively. Let’s discuss all of those in detail.
Apple rolls out macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and iPadOS 18.0.1 with multiple bug fixes
To catch you up, Apple initially released macOS Sequoia 15 on September 16. However, many Mac users worldwide reported that the initial update was messing up with the Messages app. Many users found that the Messages app unexpectedly quit when replying to messages with a shared Apple Watch face. Besides, some complained that the macOS Sequoia 15 update also affected third-party security software.
Now, Apple has addressed all those issues with the latest macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 update. The company says that the latest macOS update “provides important bug fixes for your Mac.” The latest update carries build number 24A348 and you can install it by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Besides macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, Apple has also released iPadOS 18.0.1 for the iPad. Notably, the latest update also brings back the iPadOS 18 to the M4 iPad Pro models. Earlier, Apple pulled the iPadOS 18 update from the M4 iPad Pro model as it bricked some of the devices. If you missed out on updating your iPad Pro earlier, you can do so now by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Currently, the iPadOS 18.0.1 is available for all the iPad models that can run iPadOS 18. The latest iPadOS 18.0.1 update fixes the bug that caused the Messages app to unexpectedly quit when replying to a message with a shared Apple Watch face in it. In addition, this update also fixes performance on some iPad models which were earlier affected due to an issue with memory allocation.
watchOS 11.0.1 is also here to fix issues related to battery life, touch screen, and more
Alongside macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 and iPadOS 18.0.1, Apple has also rolled out watchOS 11.0.1 for Apple Watch users. The latest update comes with build number 22R361 and fixes issues related to the Music app, Messages app, touch screen, battery life, and more.
For example, the watchOS 11.0.1 fixes issues like random rebooting of Apple Watch, battery drain problems, and touchscreen issues on some specified models. In addition, the latest update also patches a bug that caused the Music app to unexpectedly quit when loading media. Besides, the new update also fixes the infamous Messages app bug.
You can update the Apple Watch from its settings or using the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. The update will start when the Apple Watch is charged at least 50% or it is placed on the charger. Besides all the above updates, the Cupertino tech giant is also rolling out iOS 18.0.1 and visionOS 2.0.1 to fix some known issues on iPhones and Apple Vision Pro.
