Recently, have you ever had an Apple Watch that is suddenly out of control and a "ghost animal"?
Coincidentally, the editor encountered it a few days ago, and the society died in public.
Here's the thing. (It's a pity that the editor was so panicked at the time that I forgot to record the video, or I would like to show you how weird it is)
That day, I was looking at the time on my watch on the subway, but I found that the watch was not displayed, so I quickly clicked in and took a look...... As a result, the watch was out of control, all kinds of random jumps, random points, rebooting to no avail, I even long pressed to trigger the SOS alarm and find the phone, the sound attracted the attention of a carriage of people. At that time, I was in my heart: look at me, look at me, I announce something, I am a ......
No way, I had to restart it again, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't enter the password to unlock it, and the watch was still a ghost. I was going to go to the nearby "Genius Bar" for repairs, and finally restarted it again, and finally returned to normal, scared into a cold sweat.
Later, I checked it in a book, and it turned out that this situation was not an isolated case, and many Apple Watch 9/Ultra2 users have encountered the situation of automatic screen jumping or performing unexpected operations during use. For example, some people have reported that their watches automatically call them while they sleep, or block them when they enter their passwords, as if they were possessed by a ghost.
Fortunately, Apple officials have noticed this problem. According to foreign media reports, Apple's authorized service provider recently received a memo from Apple, mentioning the touch problem of Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, which will also affect users after Apple Watch Series 7.
Officially, this is just a touch bug, and there is no need for special repair, just press and hold the crown and side buttons at the same time for ten seconds to force the watch to restart. At the same time, there is an official promise that the issue will be fixed in the next version of watchOS.
This is not the first time that the Apple Watch has had this problem, as early as February this year, some users reported to Apple that the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 have touch problems, and the official also said that it is actively investigating the cause. But in the end, Apple's answer was to fix the problem in a future watchOS update. Officials did not disclose the prevalence of this problem and whether it is a hardware defect that causes the frequent ghost animal problem, if this is not a simple system BUG, then Apple may need to consider recalling the device.
The Apple Watch's touchscreen issues have caused a lot of trouble for users. Users expect Apple to find out the root cause of the problem and provide the perfect solution as soon as possible. After all, no one wants to have a "ghost" on their hands.
