Apple releases watchOS 5.1 update

Alongside Apple’s release of iOS 12.1, the company also released watchOS 5.1.

The update, which can be downloaded and installed via an Apple Watch and a paired iPhone, offers the following changes and fixes:

– Apple Watch Series 4 automatically contacts emergency services if you are immobile for about a minute after detecting a hard fall. The watch will now also play a message that informs the responder that Apple Watch has detected a fall and shares your location coordinates when possible.


– Fixes an issue that could cause an incomplete installation of the Walkie-Talkie app for some users.

– Resolves an issue that prevented some users from being able to send or receive invitations on Walkie-Talkie.

– Addresses an issue where some previously earned Activity awards were not showing in the
Awards tab of the Activity app for some users.

If you’ve had a chance to try out watchOS 5.1, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
