Apple\u2019s latest watchOS update, 8.5, now has a recovery mode that can help you restore your Apple Watch if it gets stuck on the dreaded red exclamation point screen (via 9to5Mac<\/em><\/a>). The update is laid out in a support article<\/a> that was updated on Monday \u2014 while the previous version of the article<\/a> just recommended trying to reboot the watch, then setting up a mail-in repair with Apple support, it now describes the process of recovering your Watch at home.<\/p>\n
Apple\u2019s article says that you\u2019ll need an iPhone running iOS 15.4<\/a> to go through the steps. If your Watch is showing an animation of a phone and a watch being brought together, or a red exclamation point, the process to fix it is relatively simple:<\/p>\n
\nPut your Watch on its charger<\/li>\n
Unlock your phone and bring it close<\/li>\nDouble-press the Watch\u2019s side button, next to the crown <\/li>\n<\/ul>\nA prompt should then pop up on your phone, saying that it detected an Apple Watch in recovery mode, initiating steps you can follow to restore the Watch. <\/p>\n\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There could be a bit of pickiness around what kind of Wi-Fi network your phone is connected to during the process, so if the recovery doesn\u2019t work, you may want to read the fine print on the article.<\/p>\nA colleague asked whether this new feature would make it less risky to run beta software on your Watch. The answer to that question appears to depend on what kind of risk you\u2019re talking about. If you\u2019re worried about your Watch being bricked by unfinished software (a few<\/a> beta testers have reported<\/a> seeing a red exclamation point before, leading to a chat with Apple support), it does seem like this feature could make a home remedy possible. <\/p>\n
It is probably still best to leave Watch betas to the brave though \u2014 some reports of bricking describe an infinitely spinning loading screen<\/a>, which this process may not be able to fix. There\u2019s also not much reassurance for those worried about getting stuck with an unusably buggy watch. Apple\u2019s beta software FAQ<\/a> still says the \u201cApple Watch cannot be restored to previously-released OS versions once the public beta is installed,\u201d implying that this recovery feature won\u2019t help you go back to a public version of watchOS. <\/p>\n
Apple didn\u2019t respond to a question from The Verge<\/em> asking if there would be some way to use this feature to roll back from a buggy beta.<\/p>\n
Whether or not this update changes the beta calculus, it\u2019s definitely a win that users will have the ability to solve firmware issues at home instead of having to send their Watches in for service. To update to watchOS 8.5, you can follow Apple\u2019s instructions here<\/a>. If you have a Series 3, do keep in mind that the process may be more complicated<\/a> due to its limited storage space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
