We really want everyone to download this update right away onto their Apple Watch. In order to do so, make sure you have 50% or more battery life remaining on Apple Watch. Also place your watch on its charger. Once done, launch the Watch app on iPhone and navigate to General > Software Update. Tap on Download and Install when the update shows up.

This update packs similar security fixes which were just implemented with iOS 14.7.1 / iPadOS 14.7.1 and macOS 11.5.1. Therefore it is extremely vital that you go ahead and download this update right away, especially if you value your privacy a lot.

On the features end, this update does not bring anything new to the table at all. All of the changes are under the hood which is a good thing.
