Apple has addressed the ghost touch issue on the Apple Watch with the WatchOS 10.4 update. Here are the details of the WatchOS 10.4 update and its innovations.
The WatchOS 10.4 update for Apple Watch models has been released by Apple. The update ensures compatibility of Apple Watch models with some features introduced in iOS 17.4. However, the most anticipated fix for Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 users is the ghost touch issue. Here are the details of the WatchOS 10.4 update and what it brings.
WatchOS 10.4 Update and the Apple Watch Ghost Touch Issue
Following the release of the WatchOS 10.3 update last month, some Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models experienced a ghost touch issue. Although it was not a widespread issue, it affected the usability of the smartwatch.
As previously mentioned, with this issue, Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models were responding as if the user was touching the screen. However, with the new WatchOS 10.4 update, Apple has managed to completely eliminate this problem.
In addition to resolving this annoying Apple Watch ghost touch, significant improvements have also been made. With the WatchOS 10.4 update, the new emojis introduced with iOS 17.4 are also coming to Apple Watch models. To recall the new emojis introduced with iOS 17.4: Phoenix, broken chain, vertical head shake, horizontal head shake.
The theatrical performance for Apple films has been a failure. After incurring losses on three productions, the company started renting movies online.
The release notes for WatchOS 10.4 on the Apple website are as follows:
- The “Tap to Show Full Notification” setting will now allow you to double-tap to expand notifications.
- Using Apple Pay with AssistiveTouch will require a passcode for additional security and will not support double-clicking the side button.
- Resolves an issue that caused some users to experience incorrect touches on the screen.
- Fixes an issue that prevented contacts from syncing with Apple Watch for some users.
- The option to disable the Double Tap feature on Apple Watch for Vision Pro usage has been added.
The reason why the ghost touch issue was not resolved until the WatchOS 10.4 update for Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 is unknown. However, speculations suggest that Apple waited for the WatchOS 10.4 update due to the limited number of users experiencing this issue.
