Apple Releases watchOS 26.0.2, visionOS 26.0.1, and tvOS 26.0.1: Here’s How to Update

Apple has rolled out fresh updates for Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple TV. The new software versions are watchOS 26.0.2, visionOS 26.0.1, and tvOS 26.0.1. A HomePod Software 26.0.1 update has also been released.

These are the first bug fix and security updates since watchOS 26, visionOS 26, and tvOS 26 arrived earlier this month. The Apple Watch version skips ahead to 26.0.2 because 26.0.1 was already released in Mexico to add Messages and Find My support to the Apple Watch Ultra 3.

Apple says the new versions focus on bug fixes and important security improvements, so it’s worth installing as soon as possible.
