The complaint most Apple Watch users have is not accuracy but phantom touch. It is said that he also touches his watch with some permission. “Ghost touch” is another problem faced by these watches. Events may cause the watch to go through actions and open apps that didn’t even need to be opened in the first place. In some extreme cases, these watches can even make emergency calls without the user’s consent which can cause further problems.
However, this issue came to light already in February – the field of application of these innovative smartwatches was exactly the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2. The company appeased providers by promising a software update in the future. Still, what has been made clear is that rather than just the X and S Max, the problem has also been found in the Series 7, 8, and even the Series 1 Ultra.
For now, Apple suggests a simple solution: forced restart by pressing both the Side and Crown buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. What’s more, having updated software on your watchOS is essential.
Yet, according to online forums, it reflects a dire reality. Users will receive the message that their watches now behave strangely due to unexpected ghost touches, so some of them will be wiped from the system itself due to input of the wrong password.
As Apple figures out what’s causing these glitches and hopefully fixes them, Apple Watch users will continue to put up with these strange display interactions until Apple comes forward with a permanent solution. Comes.
