Apple releases watchOS 2

Following the delay due to the discovery of a “bug” last minute, Apple has officially released watchOS 2 on Monday. Watch owners can download the update by opening the Apple Watch iPhone app, navigating to the General menu and then selecting Software Update. The upgrade should install wirelessly, Apple Insider reports.

The new version was supposed to be launched on September 16, along with iOS 9. However, on the very same day, the tech giant issued a statement that it had discovered a bug that was taking "a bit longer to fix than we expected." It did not mention any particular day for the release and said, “We will not release watchOS 2 today but will shortly.” 

The upgraded version offers access to native third party apps, a new Time Travel function, custom photo watch faces, nightstand mode and more.

The best feature of the new operating system is perhaps the ability for third-party apps to run natively on the device.

“With watchOS 2, many apps are native apps, which means they run entirely on your Apple Watch. So they load more quickly and have even greater capabilities” -Apple
