Apple Releases watchOS 8.5 With Support for New Emoji

by Brent Dirks
March 14, 2022

You can now download watchOS 8.5 for your Apple Watch.

There are no major issues specifically for the Apple Watch. But the update does include the same new emoji and new Siri voice in iOS/iPadOS 15.4.

The update can be downloaded now through the companion Watch app on your iPhone by heading to General > Software Update in the My Watch portion of the app. You can also go to Settings > General > Software Update on an Apple Watch

Your watch needs to have more than 50 percent power and connected to a charger. Like most Apple Watch updates, it could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete, so be patient.

It’s compatible with the Apple Watch Series 3 and later.
