Apple the watchOS 11 beta 3 update, according to on X. The update was initially released to developers yesterday, but some users are having problems after installing the latest beta.

Users on Reddit with their models after updating to the new beta, including “locked up” devices and issues with Messages notifications syncing. These users report that their devices remain frozen, even after reboots. One person commented the following:

Completely locking up every single boot. I hold the side button and crown to restart it, it reboots, and not even a minute later is completely frozen. Time won’t update, nothing. It happened right when someone had text me and it’s nonstop since. It’s currently locked up for the 7th time and it just started 15 minutes ago.

This is quite a large concern, especially given the fact that there’s no way for users to revert firmware without taking their to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, and having it sent to an off site repair facility.

Hopefully, it won’t take too long for Apple to resolve these concerns. However, it’s been over 2 weeks since the iPadOS 18 update was pulled due to bricking concerns with , and Apple is yet to resolve a patch.

We’ll see what happens, and we’ll keep you updated when Apple eventually releases a new build of watchOS 11.1 beta 3.
