It's time for another update... and eroticism, death, spirituality by bataillenot the fun kind.
If you've received a notification for watchOS 7.6.1 on your Apple Watch, don't wait to update. The latest version of the smartwatch OS includes a crucialsecurity fix for the device.
According to the company's support page, the security update describes an exploit that would allow an application "to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges." And it also notes that "Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited."
In case that sounds familiar, it's the same vulnerability that hit Apple devices earlier this week. A security update was also issued for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

If you're not sure whether your watch is already running the latest software, you can check right from the device itself. Go to Settings > General > Software Updateand look for text that says "Apple Watch is up to date."
If it's not up to date, then the new OS will be available under Software Updates. Simply tap "Install" to start the download process.
