watchOS 8.7, tvOS 15.6 Arrive With Performance Improvements
Right along with iOS/iPadOS 15.6, Apple has released watchOS 8.7 and tvOS 15.6
watchOS 8.7 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.
tvOS 15.6 should automatically be downloaded to a Apple TV HD or Apple TV 4K.
If you haven’t already enabled automatic updates, you can download the software by heading to Settings > System > Software Updates > Update Software. Right the button to update software is the toggle switch to turn on automatic updates.
Neither update offers any new features but instead focus on performance improvements.
