What's the story

Apple has released its latest watchOS 5.1.1 version which fixes a critical bug of the last update that bricked some Apple Watches.

Moreover, the latest update also brings support for Group FaceTime audio with up to 32 people, new full-screen colored watch faces, and over 70 new emojis that have been introduced in iOS 12.1.

Here's more about the latest version.

Safe update

This update won't brick your Apple Watch

Last week, Apple released watchOS 5.1 update and quickly removed it after users reported that their Apple Watch got bricked after installing the update.

And the issue was more pressing, considering Apple Watches cannot connect to a computer which could have allowed users to manually reinstall the software.

However, with this update, Apple has fixed the bug.

Bummer

watchOS 5.1.1 lacks ECG app for Apple Watch Series 4

Back in September, when Apple launched its Series 4 Watch, the company said ECG support would be added soon via a software update.

It happens to be the highlight feature on the new Apple Watch which comes with built-in electrodes in the base and the digital crown, allowing it to function as an ECG sensor.

But, we'll have to wait for the next update.
