How to disable automatic updates on your Apple Watch

Apple Watch Series 5

One of the options that we have available in the settings of our Apple Watch is that the updates are not carried out automatically. This option that may seem complicated to manage due to the possible forgetting of the installation of new versions of watchOS, but it is really useful for those who want to install their updates whenever they want as long as we are a little aware of the arrival of new versions.

By this we mean that you don't have to be a "geek" like us who reads Apple and technology news daily, but you do need to be aware of it to know when to update your Apple Watch. Really these updates arrive on par with the iPhone and iPad usually, so we only have to choose when we want them to be installed on our Apple Watch.

We can say that the steps are simple and there are not too many problems to disable these automatic updates in watchOS. For this we simply have toAccess the Watch app, enter General, enter Software Update and deactivate the Automatic Updates option that comes activated from origin.

In this way, when the watch has a new version, it will not install it on our Apple Watch at night once downloaded. We will have to manually press you to install the new version as long as we have the watch charging and connected to our Wi-Fi network. Come on, it is exactly the same but we will be in charge of choosing when we want the new version of watchOS to be installed on our Apple Watch.

This does not mean that we do not want to update, much less, it is simply to choose the moment we want to install the new version. We always recommend updating when a new version of watchOS appears to get the security and functionality improvements that Apple adds.
