Apple WatchOS 10.4 officially released: fixes bugs

Apple pushed the watchOS 10.4 update (internal version number: 21T216) to Apple Watch users today. This update comes 28 days after the last release.

It should be noted that due to cache issues with the configuration of Apple’s regional node servers, there may be a slight delay in detecting upgrades in some places, usually within half an hour, not too long.

To install the watchOS 10.4 update, your Apple Watch needs to have at least 50% charge and must be on the Apple Watch charger.
